Named after Elisabeth Charlotte von der Pfalz (1652–1722), known under her penname of Liselotte. A daughter of Kurfürst (Count Palatine) Karl Ludwig von der Pfalz, Liselotte married the brother of Louis XIV, Count Philipp I of Orleans. Her correspondence with her aunt, Kurfürstin Sophie von der Pfalz (wife of Herzog Ernst August von Hannover) and other famous contemporaries is preserved and gives a vivid insight into life at the time.
