Amalie of Saxony-Hildburghausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sophie Amalie Karoline von Sachsen-Hildburghausen (* July 21, 1732 in Hildburghausen , † June 19, 1799 in Öhringen ) was a princess of Sachsen-Hildburghausen and by marriage princess of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein zu Oehringen .

Life

Amalie was the youngest child and the only daughter of Duke Ernst Friedrich II of Saxony-Hildburghausen (1707–1745) from his marriage to Caroline (1700–1758), daughter of Count Philipp Karl von Erbach zu Fürstenau.

She married Prince Ludwig von Hohenlohe-Neuenstein zu Oehringen (1723-1805) in Hildburghausen on January 28, 1749 . The son Karl Ludwig Friedrich, born in 1754, left this marriage, but he died the following year; the line Hohenlohe-Neuenstein to Oehringen therefore died out with Ludwig's death and fell to Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen.

In 1770 Amalie brought her brother Eugen, who had fallen out of favor in Hildburghausen, and his wife to the court of Öhringen, where they both lived until their death.

Amalie is buried together with her husband in a special resting place in the collegiate church in Öhringen . There is also a marble relief of Amalies and her husband in the southern transept, which was created by the sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow on the occasion of the couple's golden wedding in 1799 in the classicism style .
