Die (taten-) lustige Witwe (Vortrag)

Lecture from the series "With Veil and Sword – Female Rule in Castles"

Who once lived in the proud Bürresheim Castle? What role did the castlemistresses play here, especially? Among them, Anna Magdalena von Metzenhausen, who died in 1673, stands out as she outlived her husband by more than three and a half decades. She is credited with significant construction measures, but during her reign, she also tolerated cruel witch hunts …

The lecture by Volkhard Huth from the Institute for Personal History (Bensheim) will focus on this woman who played a significant role in the history of the castle.
