Life
At the age of 19 she married Archduke Albrecht of Austria on May 1st, 1844 in the Allerheiligen-Hofkirche in Munich . In his diary, the later Emperor Franz Joseph I described her in an entry of May 24, 1844 as follows: “ I liked her a lot, she is pretty, has thick cheeks, a very pretty figure, is quite aimable, but has, think I, just too much of the Empress mother, especially the long, rigid gaze. "
After the birth of her second daughter Mathilde Marie and the previous complicated births, Hildegard was no longer able to have any more children despite numerous subsequent spa stays. Since her husband Archduke Albrecht thus remained without a male heir, he adopted his nephew Archduke Friedrich . After Albrecht's death, he inherited his property and property.
