Life

Agnes Heinold was a daughter of Lucas Schickhardt and his wife Agnes geb. Chain field. On July 24, 1666, she married the pastor Johann Wolfgang Heinold (1642–1699) in Oettingen , with whom she had two daughters. She lived with her husband, who had been royal court preacher and editor of the Oettingische Gesangbuch since February 1675 , for 28 years in Oettingen and from 1694 in Eßlingen, where her husband got the position of superintendent .

She was financially dependent on her husband, and when he died in 1699, she was forced to seek help from the city council. The council granted her an annual grant of 25 fl , 6 bushels of spelled, 1 bucket of wine and 2 fathoms of wood and committed to provide her with housing or money for it.

She was poetically gifted and, thanks to her stay in Oettingen, developed into a poet, because there was a lively literary life there, which led to the creation of the group “Oettinger Flower Comrades”. Heinold wrote countless occasional poems : congratulatory poems for members of the Princely House of Oettingen-Oettingen , mourning poems (e.g. on the death of her sister-in-law Maria Ursula Schickard) or poems about special events (such as the extensive poem about the fire in Esslingen in 1701). Some of them were printed. In the prints she always referred to herself as Agnes Heinoldin geb. Schickhartin (spelling fluctuates).
