However, another source gives her death in Mühlhausen/Gvardeyskoye,/Гвардейское, formerly in East Prussia, and not far from Mohrungen, but now in Russia. The Lucas Cranach the Younger painting of her which once belonged to the church disappeared, along with other treasures, in 1945. Click on the photo to see credits.
