Landgravine Louise of Hesse-Darmstadt

Princess and Landgravine Louise of Hesse-Darmstadt was a German princess. She was the daughter of Louis IX, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt. On 3 October 1775, she married duke Charles Augustus of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach and became a member of the court sphere of Weimar Classicism. She was held to be serious and introverted but also compassionate and sympathetic in the aftermath of the Battle of Jena which guaranteed her part in the later "myth of Weimar" ("Weimarmythos").
