Anna Fugger
Anna Fugger (née Anna Rehlinger von Horgau; 3 November 1505 - 25 March 1548) was a German patrician woman and wife of Anton Fugger (1493–1560), son of Georg Fugger (1453–1506).
Life
[edit]
She was born in Augsburg to Johann Rehlinger von Horgau (1483–1552) and Anna Dietenheim.[1] The Rehlingers were among the most influential patrician families in Augsburg.[2][1][3] On 25 February[1][3] or 25 December 1527[4] she entered into a marriage contract with Fugger, with the wedding occurring on 3 March the same year. This made her the first patrician woman in the Fugger family and the matriarch of the so-called Antonius Line of the family. She died giving birth to her eleventh child aged 43 in Schwarz in Tirol and was buried in Babenhausen, Bavaria.
In art
[edit]In 1523 her namesake Anna Rehlinger von Haltenberg was shown in Albrecht Dürer's Portrait of a Young Woman.[5] Anna Rehlinger von Horgau herself is shown in a sledge bearing the Rehlinger coat of arms in the October–December work in the Augsburg Month Paintings series.[6]
