Life
She was the daughter of Ludwig III. and his wife Maria Theresa of Modena .
Hildegard was interested in art and painted herself. Since she was not allowed to take part in the lessons as a woman, she was in correspondence with the painter Heinrich von Zügel , to whom she sent her drafts for correction by post.
She had traveled to the rose congress in Zweibrücken in 1914 and opened the rose garden of Europe on June 20 that year . This year the rose breeder Peter Lambert presented a slightly fragrant, creamy yellow tea hybrid named after her .
Hildegard had a very warm friendship with the writer Emilia Giehrl (1837–1915); after the death of Emilia Giehrl she wrote a book about her.
Her mother Maria Theresia supported the Munich "Association for Women's Interests", in which the members were involved in "urban war welfare". Hildegard and her two sisters Helmtrud and Wiltrud took part in the “War Conference of South German Women” held in Munich on October 1 and 2, 1915. The topic of this conference was the socio-political problems that the war brought with it. It was about infant protection, survivor care and career advice for working women. Hildegard and her sister Helmtrud received on December 8, 1915, the Red Cross Medal III for their commitment to the care of wounded soldiers by Wilhelm II . Class.
Princess Hildegard of Bavaria was buried in Munich Cathedral.
