Bavarian actress; born July 31, 1833; died at Munich Nov. 12, 1891. In early life she was noted for her beauty and histrionic talents. Having been created Baroness (Freifrau) of Wallersee in the peerage of Bavaria on May 19, 1859, she married, May 28, 1859, Duke Ludwig Wilhelm, eldest son of Duke Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria, who had renounced his rights of primogeniture in favor of his younger brother. The union was signally happy, and the issue of the marriage, Marie Luise, married Count Georg von Larisch. The baroness died after a protracted illness, and was buried according to the rites of the Catholic Church, in the city of Munich.
