“Grandmother was very honest, looked at the world with an open vision and gave her judgment on family members without forgetting anything. She was more sober in nature with dry, old Bavarian humor, at the same time strictly religious, dutiful and conscientious to the point of scruple, with a special love for her children, grandchildren, her surroundings and her Bavarian homeland " Duchess Amelie von Urach wrote with great affection and disarming honesty and reminds us of her grandmother, Duchess Ludovika of Bavaria. This was the focus of one of the most distinguished families of the 19th century. Closely related to the ruling houses of Europe, it was especially Ludovika's daughter Elisabeth, the legendary Empress »Sisi« of Austria-Hungary, who made the family the center of public attention.
