You will if I have anything to say about it!!! :DDD
My face is hurting from all the smiling today.
I've been wanting those too and have already asked them about that when I visited in August! They gave me the e-mail adress of Dr. Maria von Katte
!!!!
You're way ahead of me. Asking for this has been on my to-do list for a while, but...yeah. I know how it feels to be super awkward about asking.
The brochure from Wust says he wrote a letter to his, quote, "Engelsschwesterken" when he was a child and I just about died and need more context for this."
ZOMG, yes, we extremely need this.
selenak sent me a copy of the Hans Heinrich brochure, btw, but not the fuller one, from which she translated the two letters from Hans Heinrich about his struggles to forgive FW.
I hoped that she would show up to the thing on Saturday (apparently she does vistit Wust at times) so I could ask in person and use my big shiny student eyes to convince her to help me, but she didn't (show up, that is).
Oh, man. You know the other thing we need? Apparently at least one painting by Hans Hermann survives and is in the Katte collection and was on display in an exhibition some years ago, but I've never even seen a picture of it so I don't know what it's even a painting of!
But manuscripts come first, definitely get your hands on all the manuscripts and letters you can. :D
I'm not sure if we are on that level of friendship yet :'DD
Ahahhaha, yes, wait until you're interning for the crypt restorer guy. (Doooo iiiit! Although also definitely get a job at the auction house, just in case something comes along! It's still too bad about the book you found online that Katte owned and inscribed. Even with my recent raise and offer to help buy salon books, though, 2000 euros for a book is a bit outside my price range. :'D)
I'm at work right now, so I'm not in the best headspace to concentrate on this, but I'll get back to it later :D
Awesome, thank you!
The article about the Franckesche Stiftungen is here. Apparently it's partially a reaction to Roes' depiction of the school in Zeithain :'D Dr. Grunewald did not like that one, according to the Wust people.
Lololol, that's hilarious! Well, we found indirect evidence that Hans Heinrich had no problem with Hans Hermann playing the flute, so we consider that slander. :'D
Aaah, thank you! :DD I'm still working on chapter 3, getting shit done is not my strong suit.
I can't throw stones! My fic output has been woeful lately. I really just want someone to nag and encourage me about the two nonfiction articles-in-progress. It's sooo tedious looking up tons of references in two languages I barely know, half of them in a font that makes me cry. This is not going to get done unless someone is asking me every week, "Hey, Mildred, when it's it going to be done? The world needs more Keith and Fredersdorf!"
If you want more old timey german and more Katte there's the one shot i wrote... :'D aka The Sad Thing I Published
Oh, right! Also on my to-read list when my German is just a little better. (I couldn't resist the road trip, even though I had to download it and convert it to a pdf to be able to read it--road trips are my jam!)
apparently the one in Golzow, where Katte's sister (and her husband, Rochow. The historically relevant of the two.) is buried, has been subject to, uh... incredible violence. I'm talking heads ripped off of mummies.
Wow. I didn't know where she was buried, thank you! And zomg. Is her head ripped off, do you know?
If you know/find out where Peter Keith was buried, let us know! It's kind of funny we know his even more obscure wife's burial place, but not his.
I'll tell them you'd be happy to have new contributors over here. Gotta admit though, the salon is a little intimidating to, I quote, "humble shitposters" :'D
Hee, but we welcome humble shitposting! We have come up with playlists and sorted them into Hogwarts houses and whatnot!
I'm afraid to go over to Discord both because I'm working 40 hours again these days, and also because I'm of the opinion that all Frederician discussion should take place in salon where we can track it and consolidate it in Rheinsberg. :D
I saw Wilhelmine's travel diary too, thought about buying it :DD Good to see you've got it covered!
Nag me and the digitizing and translating will go faster! I respond well to external encouragement when I have to do super tedious things!
I'll keep an eye out for the prussian archives too ^^
Sweet! You are the best and welcome back! Please don't be intimidated by us and spend as much time here being as frivolous as you want! (And also transcriber, ilu so much, tell us everything!)
Also, get us those manuscripts! I have a very specific point I need to research about whether Katte went to Madrid like Kloosterhuis said Martin von Katte said Hans Heinrich said he did, or not!
(Now that I'm reading Kloosterhuis, researching his sources on Rottembourg is on my to-do list, because I need to compare their reliability to the reliability of the sources that are telling me Rottembourg wasn't in Madrid that year. Also the Schulenburgs, I need to research the contradictions between Kloosterhuis' genealogy and Wikipedia's. So much salon, so little time! My number one priority is I need to finish studying German so I can start studying French!)
Oh, if the Wust people have any definitive proof for the claim that Ludolf von Katte married Mme. du Rosey in 1755, that would be awesome. Lehndorff says his hopes of marrying her are fading in 1753, so if it took her another 2 years to marry Ludolf, that would be super interesting.
