Hermine von Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym
Princess Hermine Amalie Marie von Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym (born December 2, 1797 in Hoym , Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg-Hoym , † September 14, 1817 in Ofen , Kingdom of Hungary ) was Archduchess of Austria and Palatinissa of Hungary by marriage .
Life
Hermine was the daughter of Prince Victor II of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym (1767–1812) from the Askanier family and his wife, Princess Amalie of Nassau-Weilburg (1776–1841). She grew up with her siblings in Hoym and received an extensive upbringing.
At the age of 17 she was married to the 39-year-old Archduke Joseph of Austria (1776-1847), the seventh son of the Roman-German Emperor Leopold II and his wife Infanta Maria Ludovica of Spain . The marriage took place on August 30, 1815 at Schloss Schaumburg .
Hermione was known for her charity. She, who belonged to the Reformed Church of the Helvetic Confession , actively supported her fellow believers in the Kingdom of Hungary. For the construction of the Reformed Church (on today's Kálvin Square) she donated 16,000 guilders from her private assets.
Archduchess Hermine died as a result of twin birth at the age of 19 in Ofen and was buried in the crypt of the Reformed Church on what was then Heumarkt (today Kálvin Square) in Pest . During the devastating flood of 1838, which flooded large areas of the city of Pest, the church's crypt was also flooded. That is why they felt compelled to transfer the coffin with its remains to the Palatine Crypt at the Oven Castle .
progeny
A pair of twins emerged from his marriage to Palatine Joseph:
- Hermine Amalie Marie (1817–1842), abbess of the Theresian women's monastery in Prague
- Stephan Franz Viktor (1817–1867), Palatine of Hungary until 1848, Count or Prince of Holzappel-Schaumburg from 1848
