Wilhelmine Enke: Wiki doesn't agree with each other. German wiki names 1752 as her year of birth. The famous novel about her has her twelve when she meets future FW2, so presumably it draws on the same source Ziebura does for the birth date, which isn't wiki. (With 1769 named as the year the relationship turned sexual.) Either way, yes, she was young! Now, given all the other mistresses FW2 had were older, and given the relationship with her lasted a life time, I don't think he was into pubescent girls per se, but it makes it doubly infuriating that the Prussian media - and certainly Sophie von Voss - painted her as the evil seductress.
I'm sorry, Fräulein von Morrien!
So am I. The daughter she had with Kalckreuth was called Wilhelmine, after Mina, I assume. The son who get the memoirs dictated to and is all "my Dad: so misunderstood!" in the introduction was from a second marriage.
