Agatha Marie

For the family cf. Main article: Lords and Counts of Hanau

She married on 10/20. November 1623 Georg Friedrich von Rappoltstein (* July 14, 1593; † August 20/30, 1651 in Strasbourg ). He was a son of Eberhard von Rappoltstein (* March 12, 1570; † August 17, 1637 in Strasbourg) and the wild and Rhine Countess Anna (* 1572; August 25, 1608). Georg Friedrich von Rappoltstein married Countess Charlotte Elisabeth von Solms -Sonnewalde in 1640 and came from a family of Alsatian patrons of culture.

The marriage of Agatha Marie and Georg Friedrich had two children:

  • stillborn son (8/18 September 1626)
  • Agatha Fridericia (* 13/23 July 1627, † 6/16 September 1627)

The author of "Vorred" Strasbourg's edition of the translation of the Aithiopiká of Heliodorus by John Zschorn (ca. 1520-1560) was dedicated in 1624 under the pseudonym "Hisaia Sub Cruce, Ath." The work that he after the protagonist Chariclia called, the Countess Agatha Marie. The now well-known author of this preface was Isaak Habrecht , publicist and from 1617 personal physician to Count Johann Reinhard von Hanau-Lichtenberg. Zschorn's work, which was the first translation of the Greek work into German, was published seven times in Strasbourg up to 1641 alone, which is a testament to the unusually widespread knowledge of Greek works in the vicinity of the city. The innovation of the Chariclia of 1614 consists for the first time in not referring to a drama from the Greek classical period, but to a late antique novel. Georg Friedrich had himself portrayed with a bagpipe to express his role as patron of the minstrels throughout Alsace .

Agatha Marie died on May 23, 1636 in Baden-Baden and was buried in Rappoltsweiler (today: Ribeauvillé ). From 1637 the now widower and Johann Jakob headed the Rappoltstein family, but the former remained without an heir after the son, who was born dead in 1626. With the latter, who had been blind since 1628, the male line died out in 1675.
