In the early 15th century, the prince of Bavaria, Albrecht III., house of Wittelsbach, fell in love with the daughter of a barber-surgeon, Agnes Bernauer. Whether he really married her or just promised it, is unknown. However, he mad it clear to his father, Ernst, Duke of Bavaria, that he wouldn't marry any other woman.
This was a problem for the Duke. A marriage with a commoner could not produce a rightous heir and could have ended the dynasty of Wittelsbach right there. They still exist today, so he must have found a solution. Can you guess what it was? Why yes, of course: murder. He had Agnes tried as a witch and thrown down a bridge into the Danube. She was a good swimmer, so the headsman had to push her back in with a pole several times. Quite a feat considering they had her hands tied.
Records tell that Albrecht III. wasn't too fond of his father curely drowning his wife. So Ernst built her this tomb chapel in the same year and had a mass read for hear each sunday from there on. By doing this he basicly confessed that the witch trial was bogus and that Agnes Bernauer was innocent.
Suprisingly, this satisfied Albrecht and he married a noblewoman his father could agree on just one year later.
Today, many historians think that Agnes Bernauer wasn't this innocent victim she was pictured as for centuries. She probably had some kind of political ambition that proved dangerous for the Wittelsbach hous, too.

The red plate is her tomb marker. I couldn't take a better picture because the entrance is locked

Last one of the cemetery pictures. I have over 300 of them, all somewhat interesting, but they shouldn't go here.
