Sibylle von Baden and art
The Babenhausen Altar
The altar in the town church of St. Nikolaus in Babenhausen is a foundation of the Margravine Sibylle von Baden: After she had only given birth to daughters until 1513, she vowed to donate an altar if a son was born. The case came with the birth of the heir Philip in 1514.
The altar is one of the most important works of art from the Middle Rhine region of that time. The artist is unknown. With this foundation, Sibylle set a monument for herself and her family at the same time. The left wing of the altar shows, among other things, the blessed Bernhard II of Baden , who was famous for his pious lifestyle and who was beatified in the 18th century . He was a brother of her grandfather.
Representation by Hans Baldung Grien
In the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe there is a panel by Hans Baldung Grien , which shows Margrave Christoph I of Baden and his whole family in adoration of Anna the third . In addition to the margrave, numerous family members are depicted, including his daughter Sibylle. She is the third kneeling from the left on the right side of the painting.
Demise
Margravine Sibylle died on July 10, 1518 and was buried in the family funeral of the Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg in the town church of St. Nikolaus in Babenhausen, as was her husband later.
