  Christiane Eberhardine von Hohenzollern Markgräfin von Brandenburg-Bayreuth, Kurfürstin von Sachsen (1693-1727), reine de Pologne (1694-1704) She was the firstborn child of Christian Ernst, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth and Sophia Louisa (German: Sofie Luise), daughter of Eberhard III, Duke of Württemberg. She was named for her father, Christian and her mother's father, Eberhard. She married Friedrich August I, Elector of Saxony and future King of Poland on January 20, 1693 at age 21. The marriage was purely political and highly unhappy. Three years later, on October 17, 1696, their son Friedrich August was born in Dresden. August of Saxony converted to Catholicism to become King of Poland, but Christiane Eberhardine remained faithful to her Protestant beliefs and was not present at her husband's coronation. Her Protestant countrymen named her "The Pillar of Saxony." Christiane Eberhardine retired to her castle at Pretzsch an der Elbe or at Hartenfels Castle in Torgau, and was only seen at Dresden festivities occasionally. In her voluntary exile she led a life of culture and took interest in the faith of orphaned children. She was also active in the field of economics; in 1697 she overtook the glass factory in Pretzsch, founded by Constantin Fremel. The Electress Christiane, who remained Protestant and refused to move to Poland with her husband, preferred to spend her time in the Schloss Pretzsch at the Elbe, where she died. A lonely woman, Christiane Eberhardine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth died at the age of 55 and was buried on September 6 in the Parish church of Pretzsch. Neither her husband nor her son were present at the funeral. In commemoration, Johann Sebastian Bach wrote for her Laß, Fürstin, laß noch einen Strahl with text by Johann Christoph Gottsched, which was performed for the first time on October 15, 1727 in the Leipzig Paulinerkirche. She was great-grandmother to Louis XVI of France, Louis XVIII of France, Charles X of France and Charles IV of Spain.
