Life
Life
Louise was a daughter of Duke Anton Ulrich of Sachsen-Meiningen (1687–1763) from his second marriage to Charlotte Amalie (1730–1801), daughter of the Landgrave Charles I of Hesse-Philippsthal. Louise married on 18 October 1781 in Meiningen to Landgrave Adolph of Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld (1743–1803). Even in her marriage contract, which her mother, acting as regent for her brother, Duke Charles William of Saxe-Meiningen, concluded with Landgrave Adolph, it was stipulated that his future wife is the sole guardian of her underage children and administrator of their assets. After Adolph died in 1803, Louise presented this contract to the Reichskammergericht and this court confirmed her guardianship over her three sons.
