On June 16, 1706, Friedrich I personally came to Hanover as a suitor for his son Friedrich Wilhelm. On June 18, the engagement was announced and celebrated in a festive way. As queen, the Brunswick princess, who was committed to the baroque need for representation and baroque culture, never really felt comfortable at the Berlin court of her puritanical husband. Sophie Dorothea died at the age of 70 on June 28, 1757 in the Monbijou Palace in Berlin and was buried in the Berlin Cathedral.</p><p>..........</p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="5">Does anyone have access to the Gunther Brockmann reference &quot;Die Medaillen der Welfen&quot;?&nbsp; The medal that I have is not a Silver Medal as shown in the example above (referenced as Brockmann 579).&nbsp; The medal I have appears to be Copper.</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="5">Again, any information is greatly appreciated.</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="5"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="5">Thank You.</font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
