Amalie Luise von Arenberg
Amalie Luise, Princess and Duchess of Arenberg (born April 10, 1789 in Brussels , Belgium , † April 4, 1823 in Bamberg ) was the mother of Max Joseph in Bavaria and thus the grandmother of Empress Sisi .
Life
Amalie Luise was born on April 10, 1789 in Brussels as the only child of Duke Ludwig Maria von Arenberg (1757–1795) and his wife Marie Adélaïde Julie de Mailly-Nesle (1766–1789).
On May 26, 1807, Amalie Luise married the Bavarian Duke Pius August (1786-1837), son of Duke Wilhelm in Bavaria (1752-1837) and member of a Birkenfeld branch of the Wittelsbach family in Brussels . The couple moved to Bamberg and the following year they had their only son, Maximilian Joseph , who later became Duke Max Joseph in Bavaria .
Amalie Luise's marriage was marked by conflict; Pius was a choleric and often provoked brutal fights. For this reason, her son was sent to Munich in 1817 by the Bavarian King Maximilian I Joseph , a great-uncle of the boy, in order to be able to grow up there in a healthy environment at the Royal Educational Institute for Students . Amalie Luise only saw her son in 1820, after almost three years. Shortly after returning from her second visit to Munich, Amalie Luise died in Bamberg in 1823. She is buried in the crypt in Tegernsee Castle, today's Tegernsee Monastery. After the early death of his wife, Pius lived completely withdrawn.
