Nobility, Electress of Saxony. She was born as the sixth child of Duke Albrecht III of Bayern-München and his wife Anna von Braunschweig-Gubenhagen and married Ernst of Saxony in 1460 in Leipzig. Only one of her seven children died in childhood. In 1464 the Wettin territories were divided between the two brothers Ernst and Albrecht. Ernst received the western territories and became the progenitor of the Ernestine branch of the Wettin family. Elisabeth died in Leipzig and was buried in the University church (aka Paulinerkirche). When the church was blown up in 1968 her remains, together with the debris, were hauled to a sandpit near the Südfriedhof where they still lie. Only the plate that had covered her grave was saved and placed in St. Thomas Church. With the reconstruction of the Paulinerkirche it is intended to place all the saved Epitaphs and gravestones in their former places.
