Von der Schulenburg played for the
Rot-Weiss Tennis Club in Berlin since 1897. She was a runner-up at the 1899
International German Championships, held that year in
Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, losing the final in straight sets to three-time Wimbledon champion
Charlotte Cooper. She competed in the singles event at the
1908 Wimbledon Championships and reached the second round in which she was defeated in three sets by
Dora Boothby. Von der Schulenburg was considered the best German female player until the last years before World War I when she was superseded by Dora Köring and
Mieken Rieck and thereafter also by
Ilse Friedleben and
Nelly Neppach. She, however, remained competitive in the doubles and mixed doubles events until around the mid-1920s. Von der Schulenburg was a baseline player with firm, well-placed groundstrokes, mainly of the forehand side, who served underhand. ==Notes==
