Helene von der Pfalz was a daughter of Philipp I, Pfalzgraf bei Rhein, and his wife, Margarete von Bayern. She was married at Wismar on June 15, 1513 to Heinrich V, Herzog zu Mecklenburg, with whom she had issue.

Her burial and that of her husband in the Cathedral of Schwerin are the first in the Mecklenburg ducal family, who previously used the Doberan monastery church as a burial place. Her epitaph, created by Peter Vischer the elder, a German sculptor, was erected shortly after her death and attached to the back of the altar wall until 1845. It is now located on a pillar at the southern entrance next to the church door.
