Life

Elisabeth was a daughter of Elector Philipp von der Pfalz (1448–1508) from his marriage to Margarete (1456–1501), daughter of Duke Ludwig IX. from Bavaria-Landshut .

Her first marriage was on February 12, 1496 in Heidelberg, Landgrave Wilhelm III. of Hessen-Marburg (1471–1500). The supplement took place in Frankfurt am Main in 1498 . The marriage bound Wilhelm III. closer to the Electoral Palatinate house, while Wilhelm's Kassel cousins ​​were considered partisans of the emperor . In the event of his heirless death, Wilhelm the Palatinate had awarded almost the entire County of Katzenelnbogen as Wittum and contradiction . After the death of Wilhelm III. But the land fell with Katzenelnbogen to his cousin Wilhelm II of Hesse-Kassel , whom Elisabeth was to marry at the request of the Palatinate party. However, he refused and married a princess who was close to the Habsburgs . In addition, because of the disputes over Elisabeth's Wittum, Wilhelm II took part in the imperial eighth of Emperor Maximilian against Elisabeth's father and brother.

3 years after the death of her first husband, she married Margrave Philipp I of Baden (1479–1553) on January 3, 1503 in Heidelberg . In a contract concluded in 1508 regarding Elisabeth's dowry, it was determined that the Electoral Palatinate ceded the parts of the County of Sponheim acquired by Baden in 1463 back to Baden.

Elisabeth was buried in the collegiate church in Baden-Baden .
