Trude Fleischmann was born into a middle-class, assimilated Jewish family. After high school, she briefly studied art in Paris. From 1913 to 1916 she graduated at the Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt in Vienna. After a short internship at Madame D'ora, she did her professional training in the Studio of Hermann Schieberth (1876-1948). Early 1920 she opened her own studio in the vicinity of the Vienna City Hall.

Fleischmann has quickly become one of the most sought-after portrait photographers of Vienna.

Also dance and nude photographs were created. Fleischmann became famous with nude photographs perceived as scandalous of the dancer Claire Bauroff. Fleischmann photographs were printed in all major magazines, including Berliner Illustrierte newspaper, Die Bühne, Die Dame, Moderne Welt, Wiener Bilder, Wiener Magazin and Wiener Mode.
