Countess Friederike Amalie of Schlieben[1] (German: Friederike Amalie Antonie Gräfin von Schlieben; 28 February 1757 – 17 December 1827)[1] was the consort of Friedrich Karl Ludwig, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck.
Early life
[edit]Born in Königsberg, Kingdom of Prussia into the Schlieben family, part of the German nobility, Friederike was the second and youngest daughter of Count Karl Leopold of Schlieben and his wife, Countess Marie Eleonore von Lehndorff (1722-1800).[2]
Marriage and issue
[edit]Friederike married Friedrich Karl Ludwig, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck, son of Prince Karl Anton August of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck and his wife, Countess Charlotte zu Dohna-Schlodien, on 9 March 1780 in Königsberg.[1]
At the time, the marriage was not looked upon favorably by the House of Schleswig-Holstein, because the Schlieben family, although a noble one, didn't belong to an exclusive circle of either reigning families or ancient noble families, which would be more acceptable. Friedrich and Friederike had three children:
- Princess Friederike of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck (13 December 1780 – 19 January 1862) ⚭ 1800 Gottlob Samuel von Richthofen, Baron von Richthofen (1769–1808)
- Princess Luise of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck (28 September 1783 – 24 November 1803) ⚭ 1803 Frederick Ferdinand, Duke of Anhalt-Köthen
- Friedrich Wilhelm, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (4 January 1785 – 27 February 1831)
Her husband, Duke Friedrich, was succeeded as Duke by his only son, Friedrich Wilhelm, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.
Death
[edit]Friederike died on 17 December 1827 in Schleswig, Duchy of Schleswig. She was 70 years old.
