Friederike Alexandrine Moszyńska
Friederike Alexandrine Moszyńska , b. von Cosel (born October 27, 1709 in Dresden ; † December 16, 1784 ibid) was the second daughter of August the Strong with his mistress Anna Constantia von Cosel . Friederike Alexandra or Fryderyka Aleksandra are also given as first names . The Polish surname is often given in German as Moszinska or Mosczinska .
On February 18, 1730 she married the Polish Count Johann Xantius Anton Moszyński , the Polish Grand Treasurer . In 1731 their first son Friedrich August was born, followed in 1738 by the second son Friedrich Joseph .
After the death of Count Moszyński in 1737, she acquired a plot of land near the Dohnaischer Schlag on the Bürgerwiese in Dresden in April 1742 and had Julius Heinrich Schwarze build a rococo-style palace here from 1742–1744 with surrounding gardens . She regularly organized festivals for the Dresden nobility and lived here until her death in 1784. She was unable to accept the inheritance of her half-brother Johann Georg von Sachsen (1704–1774) left in her will due to the challenge of wills by the Order of Malta.
In the course of the city expansion, the palace was demolished in 1871. Today Mosczinskystrasse is a reminder of the palace and the countess.
