Dorothea of Brandenburg, Duchess of Saxe-Lauenburg, by Wikipedia

Dorothea was the eldest child of Elector Frederick II of Brandenburg (1413–1471) from his marriage to Catherine (1421–1476), daughter of Elector Frederick I of Saxony.

She married on 12 February 1464 in Lüneburg Duke John V of Saxe-Lauenburg (1439–1507). As she was oldest daughter of the Elector Frederick, who had no surviving sons, the marriage agreement was important. In addition to a 10000 florins dowry, Frederick promised his son-in-law everything that he could legally leave to his daughter. Later, however, Frederick abdicated in favour of his younger brother Albert Achilles, so as to keep his possessions in the family.

Frederick also failed to pay the dowry to his son-in-law. This led Dorothea's uncle John the Alchemist to compare himself with the Elector Frederick in 1482

Leben [Bearbeiten]

Dorothea war eine Tochter des Kurfürsten Friedrich I. von Brandenburg (1371–1440) aus dessen Ehe mit Elisabeth (1383–1442), Tochter des Herzogs Friedrich von Bayern-Landshut. Elisabeths Brüder waren die nacheinander regierenden Friedrich II. und Albrecht Achilles, Kurfürsten von Brandenburg.

Sie heiratete im Mai 1432 Herzog Heinrich IV. zu Mecklenburg (1417–1477). Als Mitgift erhielt Dorothea Dömitz und Gorlosen, welche schon ihre Schwester Margarete bei ihrer Heirat in das mecklenburgische Haus erhielt, deren Mann aber kurz nach der Vermählung verstorben war.[1] Im Streit Brandenburgs mit Mecklenburg um das Erbe des Fürstentums Wenden, trugen die familiären Bindungen zwischen Herzog Heinrich und Kurfürst Friedrich zu einem Vergleich bei.

Nachdem Dorothea 1477 Witwe geworden war, lebte sie seit 1485 als Nonne im Kloster Rehna.[2] Sie wurde in der Stadtkirche St. Jakob und St. Dionysius in Gadebusch bestattet. Ihr Grabstein ist mit einer geritzten Zeichnung der Herzogin versehen, der sie in Nonnentracht überkrönt mit einem Baldachin darstellt.

   * Albrecht VI. (1438–1483), Herzog zu Mecklenburg
