Agnes-Bernauer-Kapelle

The whole thing happened in the middle of October 1435; Duke Ernst of Bavaria-Munich (* 1373; 1438) from the House of Wittelsbach, had his son Albrecht III. Secretly invite you to a hunt with your relatives. These days in 1434 Ernst wanted to be "alone" with his daughter-in-law Agnes Bernauer. Albrecht had disappointed the family because the marriage was not befitting and took place through a "matrimonium clandestinum", that is, secretly, informally, only God was a witness. This marriage cannot be resolved! Agnes is very young and extremely beautiful, unfortunately the whole ducal family is against her and this is very likely why Agnes keeps her own family at a distance for their safety. As soon as Albrecht was lured away, Duke Ernst had our Agnes killed. Friedrich Aichstetter, the ducal scribe, had to write a reason for the murder for the emperor * Sigismund *. In order: During that time, 4 independent duchies formed "Bavaria". Each member of the Wittelsbach rulers wanted the other's duchy, ideally through a clever marriage. Agnes is the daughter of a * bath *. (King * Wenzel * had published a license FOR the honor of the bathers.) EVERYONE met in the town bath houses at that time ... EVERYONE ... Agnes is not befitting and for Ernst in the way of securing the future of his Wittelsbach family. Especially since Agnes gave birth to a daughter in another castle. Alfred brought her there. In the increasingly dense network of intrigues in the time of lovers, Agnes was tried as a witch during the time of separation List lured to relatives. In the above-mentioned letter to Emperor Sigismund, ridiculous things are also listed as evidence and explanation. Agnes is brutally drowned and the trial files disappear. Ernst then donated the entire chapel with the elaborate tomb made of red marble, which he did after his father and son were reconciled. But, one question remains; where is Agnes, because the grave is empty ... I found a lot of false rewrites about this love in history; Friedrich Hebbel wrote the drama "Agnes Bernauer - a German tragedy". Hans Sachs; song: "The drowned virgin". Carl Orff; musical folk play, premiered in 1947. "Les amours celebres" feature film, 1961, Brigitte Bardot plays Agnes. With Alain Delon, and Jean Paul Belmondo. * Sigismund * was Roman-German Emperor from 1433 until his death on December 9, 1437, and all among us; before that he had a "managerial career" that is typical nowadays for a CEO like him ... * Bader *; were the poor people's doctors. You HAD to wg. Anatomical knowledge to help torture prisoners. Were well-educated people who often helped. * King Wenceslas * used to be saved by a bath maid! His half-brother Sigismund replaced the king following Wenceslaus after 10 years as king and became emperor, so; King Wenzel, King Ruprecht, King Sigismund- he becomes emperor. * Wenzel *, who had been king years earlier, expressly referred in a charter in 1406 that it is forbidden to revile the bathers and to belittle their services! Unfortunately Wenzel was deposed in 1400 and society saw the letter as a nice suggestion!
