Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANNA AMALIA (17391807) , duchess of SaxeWeimar, daughter of Charles I., duke of
Brunswick
 -Wolfenbilttel, was born at Wolfenbuttel on the 24th of October 1739, and married Ernest, duke of Saxe-
Weimar
 , 1756. Her
husband
  died in 1758, lcaviug her regent for their infant son, Charles
Augustus
 . During the protracted minority she administered the affairs of the duchy with the greatest prudence, strengthening its resources and improving its position in spite of the troubles of the Seven Years' War. She was a patroness of art and literature, and attracted to
Weimar
  many of the most eminent men in Germany. Wieland was appointed tutor to her son; and the names of
Herder
 , Goethe and Schiller shed an undying lustre on her
court
 . In 1775 she retired into private
life
 , her son having attained his
majority
 . In 1788 she set out on a lengthened tour through
Italy, accompanied by Goethe. She died on the loth of
April
  1807. A memorial of the duchess is included in Goethe's works under the title Zum Andenken der Fiirslin Anna-Amalia.
See F. Bornhak, Anna Amalia Herzogin von Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach (Berlin. 1892).
