Library?[edit]

I find the claim about her library (last paragraph) dubious. Is this maybe a mixup with Duchess Anna Amalia of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.128.172.174 (talk) 18:09, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Child with Trenck?[edit]

The assertion that Anna Amalia had a dalliance with von Trenck is often repeated in the literature, but nowhere have I read in any other source that they actually married and produced a child. This needs a citation of some sort. The assertion is dubious.

Also, the claim that her library burned in 2004 is absolutely a result of confusion between Princess Anna Amalia of Prussia and Duchess Anna Amalia of Brunswick-Wolffenbüttel (later Weimar). Her library, housed in Weimar, burned in fall 2004.65.96.183.164 (talk) 22:25, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The assertion that in 1743 she married the 17 year-old von Trenck remains completely undocumented and is contradicted by her entry on page 102 of Huberty, Giraud and Magdelaine's respected and heavily annotated L'Allemagne Dynastique, Tome V -- Hohenzollern-Waldeck, publshied 1989, ISBN 2-901138-04-7, which would not list any children she had, legitimate or otherwise, but would give details of any marriage. None is mentioned. She is stated to have lived from 1723 to 1787, having been both born and deceased in Berlin, and having become Abbess of Quedlinburg on the 16 July 1755. The rumor of this marriage needs to be deleted. FactStraight (talk) 03:31, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Marry?[edit]

Who did she secretely marry? And what happened to him? --85.226.47.151 (talk) 09:28, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong work[edit]

The musical comedy Erwin und Elmire (libretto: J. W. v. Goethe) is a work of another Anna Amalia, Anna Amalia of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, later Duchess of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach! See her German MUGI article. MUGI is an online project of the Hamburg University of Theater and Music: /https://mugi.hfmt-hamburg.de/artikel/Anna_Amalia_Herzogin_von_Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach. It should be deleted here. Susanne Wosnitzka (talk) 07:41, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
