I'm reading the Puncta again (mildred, want to put it on rheinsberg?)
It's up! Along with several related items. Poor Katte. *hugs*
Totally unrelated Katte comments:
1) Reddit (of all places, lol), says that the part about Katte's stepbrothers killing themselves in a duel, one dying immediately and one dying of wounds afterward, comes from Martin von Katte's manuscript. I'm not excessively optimistic about getting a copy, but I've put in an ILL request, because it can't hurt. WorldCat turns up 4 copies for me, in Frankfurt am Main, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, and Wolfenbüttel.
2) Lol, I ran across a picture of the moment of unveiling of Katte's commemorative plaque at Küstrin, in April 2015. I didn't realize it involved cosplay!
3) Found the Kattes and von Arnims intermarrying in the 1530s, although I don't think it involves a shared ancestry for Achim and Hans Hermann. If I cared enough, I think I could put together a family tree linking them, although possibly not.
I swear I was looking for Martin von Katte's document when I ran across (2) and (3)!

Oh, Martin also wrote a somewhat easier to get a hold of book called Schwarz auf Weiss: Erinnerungen eines Neunzigjährigen, which might or might not be cool.
