Personal Life
Hanussen's daughter, Erika Fuchs Steinschneider, was born to his first wife Theresia Luksch in 1920. After their separation, Theresia resettled with her young daughter to Meran, Italy where Theresia eventually met, married, and later divorced a Mr. Fuchs, heir to a brewing company.
Hanussen was possibly survived by a son born in 1922 to a mistress. The son, Gerhard Belgardt, was placed in an orphanage and survived the war. He later gained some fame by performing as a clairvoyant calling himself Hanussen II.
