Daughter of August I and Anna Constantia von Cosel. She married Heinrich Friedrich von Friesen in 1725 at Pillnitz. Her father organized a three weeks lasting wedding celebration there. She bore two sons; one died young and the second, August Heinrich, became French Marshal.
She became ill with smallpox and fell unconscious. Assuming she had died, she was buried fast. Later, a church servant heard noises from the coffin. After opening the coffin, she was found dead - but the inside of the coffin lid had scratch marks from fingernails.
