Anna of Nuremberg

She was the daughter of Burgrave Johann II , who took over control of the Plassenburg from the Counts of Orlamünde and thus also the monastery they had founded. Her mother was Elisabeth von Henneberg († 1377), daughter of Berthold VII. Anna was previously abbess in the Birkenfeld monastery . Your epitaph is on the wall of the nave of the monastery church.
