Elisabeth of Austria: What do you want anyway? To go down in history with the help of Richard Wagner? Like my mother-in-law with her ridiculous painters? If your Richard Wagner is really so great then he doesn't need you. Your pathetic friendship only gives you the illusion to have done something creative. Just like I give you the illusion of love. You don't want to be left alone. You want me to become your unrivalled love. To confirm yourself. You need help I can't give you.

change my mind

for the life of me I can’t understand why everyone loves empress Elizabeth of Austria. When I was born my mother named me “sisi” because she really liked those Romy Shneider movies where Elizabeth was sold as “the compassionate people’s empress”. Now it’s been years since I started researching her for myself and yet I still can’t understand what the hell did this woman do besides having a tiny waist and nice hair. The more I learn about Elizabeth the more I find her insufferable. I understand that she lived in a sexist society and science at that point wasn’t developed enough to give her the mental health support she needed, but damn that woman was selfish and self-absorbed to a fault. she had enormous privilege and yet couldn’t turn it into anything good.

Today’s media portrays her as a Diana predecessor. A woman whose fierce heart contrasted with the stuffiness of the royal court but this narrative isn’t true for either of the aforementioned women. at least lady D was very good at charity work, Empress Elizabeth was very happy in her fancy villas, traveling around Europe, writing self-congratulatory poems, and being completely oblivious to her children's needs or her duty as an empress.

So it seems to me that she’s still known only because she was pretty, but I'm desperate to change my mind. soooo if anyone would care to educate me on the matter I’d be very happy to learn.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I wish they would finally stop only making movies and series of the tragic life of Sisi (Empress Elizabeth in Bavaria) and look for other interesting royal German/ Austrian or German speaking ladies/ queens like for example Queen Luise of Prussia (and her sister Charlotte, both being from the house of the dukes of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and having very interesting lifes) or Isabelle/ Elisabeth, called "Isabeau de Bavière" (from the House of Wittelsbach-Ingolstadt), wife of the so called mad French King Charles VI, mother of King Charles VII and Queen Catherine of England (first wife of Henry V of England, then married to Owen Tudor and mother of Henry VI).

Or St. Elizabeth of Thuringia/ Hungary who lived a life for the poor after she lost her husband, Ludwig/ Louis IV, the landgrave of Thuringia, in the 6th crusade (1227) and is among the most renowned Catholic saints.

I would also name Catherine the Great of Russia (Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst) but there is a Russian series about her life and the one with Helen Mirren.

Then the famous St. Hildegard of Bingen, a famous and influential woman of the Middle Ages to this day in so many ways. Yes, there was a German movie about her some years ago but I don't think that it is widely known.

Then "Liselotte von der Pfalz" as Germans do call her, the Madame Palatine, wife of Philippe of Orlèans, brother of King Louis XIV aka the "sun king". She wrote a tremendous amont of letters in her life, leaving behind so much information about the court of the "sun king" that historians can only be thankful to her. Yes, there was the series "Versailles" but that wasn't quite an accurate one.

At least Maria Theresia of Austria, mother of Queen Marie Antoinette and King Joseph II got a series some years ago, cause let us face it, that woman was a great one. As a child it always impressed me wildly how many children she and Luise of Prussia got. It seemed insane to me.

With this I want to say: There is more got stuff about great German/ Austrian/ German speaking ladies out there. Wayyyy more.

And it angers me that it does not get depicted.

Only our tragic or as "weak/ bad" considered ladies do get some recognition like Sisi, Marie Antoinette or Tsarina Alice of Hesse. That is sad.

Some recoveries of historical portraits come from the Polish film Epitafium dla Barbary Radziwillówny in 1983 and the Polish TV drama Królowa Bona in 1980.
