Asteroid 115 Thyra is named in her honour, as is one of the four playable characters in the Nintendo Entertainment System game Gauntlet II.
On film she does a stand-out performance in Arne Mattsson's cult mystery thriller Mannequin in Red (1958); where Ibsen plays a large key part in a notable supporting role as the fashion house mogule Thyra Lennberg.
On 30 April 1999, Heinrich Julius married Thyra Sixtina Donata von Westernhagen (born 14 August 1973 in Oldenburg) in Teistungen, Thuringia.
