| Sophie Dorothea of Brunswick-Lüneburg Birth 15 Sep 1666 •Celle, Celler Landkreis, Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen), Germany Death 13 Nov 1726 •Heidekreis, Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen), Germany Burial Stadtkirche St. Marien • Celle, Celler Landkreis, Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen), Germany Memorial ID 8476410 Princess of Ahlden, de jure Queen of Great Britain. Daughter of Duke Georg Wilhelm of Brunswick-Lüneburg and Celle and Eleonore d'Olbreuse. She was married to Georg Ludwig of Hanover on November 18,1682. As part of the marriage contract her husband had to part from his mistress which didn't make him love her more. Despite the coldness from her husband she gave birth to two children George Augustand Sophie Dorothea.After that she had completed her duty and was no longer needed. Georg Ludwig spend more time with his new mistress Ermengarde Melusine von der Schulenburg. Sophie Dorothea met Philipp Christoph von Königsmarck (qv) again and fell in love. Königsmark planed to go with her to Dresden to life at the court there but the plan was discovered and Königsmarck killed. He was never mentioned again after that night. Sophie Dorothea had to move to the Castle of Ahlden where she was told what to say in the following divorce trial. The fathers signed the divorce contract on September1, 1694, the trial started ten days later and ended in January 7 1695. She was going to be guarded for the rest of her life, she wasn't allowed to remarry or to ever see her children again. There wasno explanation why she was punished. In February she returned to Ahlden where she was guarded by 40 men. Some sources say that Georg August, who often visited his grandparents, tried to go to Ahldenseveral times against his fathers orders. During the first years she wasn't allowed to leave the castle without a guard. Later she was allowed to drive 2 kilometers to a bridge and back to the Castle.She stayed in close contact with her mother. After her fathers death in 1705 she became one of the richest woman in Europe. Queen Anne died in 1714 and Georg Ludwig was now George I. of Great Britain. The people of England where told several reasons why they didn't have a queen. Either she was mentally unstable, catholic or simply didn't exist. When the truth surfaced George I. became even more unpopular. Horace Walpole wrote that Georg August had two pictures of his mother in his bedroom. As a result of this his father forbid everyone to enter his sons bedroom. In August 1726 she became illand had to stay in bed which she never left again. She was 61 years old and had spend 33 of these years imprisoned. George didn't allow the mourning in Hanover and London. He was furious when he heardthat his daughters court in Berlin wore black. Sophie Dorotheas body was put into a casket and was deposit in the castles cellar. It was quietly moved to Celle in May 1727 to lie beside her parents.George I. died 4 weeks later. Cause of Death: Liver Failure and gall bladder occlusion due to 60 stones Wenn es um die Verwaltung, Erstellung und Wartung der Webseite geht, wird Find A Grave weitgehend von seinem Gründer, Jim Tipton betrieben. Jim schuf die Find A Grave Website im Jahr 1995, weil er keine bestehende Website finden konnte, welche sein Hobby, den Besuch von Gräbern berühmter Persönlichkeiten, ermöglichte. Er fand, dass es viele tausend Leute auf der ganzen Welt geben würde, dieseine Interessen teilten. Was als seltsames Hobby begann, wurde zu einer Lebensaufgabe und Leidenschaft. Aufzubauen und zu sehen, wie Find A Grave über seine kühnsten Erwartungen wuchs, war für Jimungeheuer befriedigend. Jeden Tag gaben Mitwirkende aus der ganzen Welt neue Datensätze ein, tausende verwendeten die Website als Bildungs-Nachschlagewerk, lange verlorengegblaubte Verwandte wurdenwiedergefunden und Millionen von Menschenleben bleiben in guter Erinnerung. In welcher anderen Art von Arbeit hätte Jim einer der letzten lebenden Munchkins getroffen, vort einer Versammlung von Grab-Enthusiasten in einem Hollywood-Mausoleum gesprochen und Schätze erworben, wie seinen antiken Sarg-Schraubendreher (nur zum Einschrauben)? | |
