mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all

Non-sequitur[edit]

German pharmacist and fairy-tale parodist Karlheinz Bartels suggests, in a tongue-in-cheek manner, that the German folk tale "Snow White" is influenced by Maria Sophia Margaretha Catherina von und zu Erthal, who was born in Lohr am Main in 1725.
After the death of Maria Sophia's birth mother in 1738, her father Philipp Christoph von und zu Erthal remarried.
Claudia Elisabeth von Reichenstein, the stepmother, was domineering and greatly favored the children from her first marriage.
The Queen's iconic mirror, referred to as "The Talking Mirror," can still be viewed today at Spessart Museum in the Lohr Castle, where Maria Sophia was born.

This is a lot about Maria, then suddenly the mirror intrudes, only it's still really about the castle and Maria, and her fan club, anyway.

Confusing as all heck. — MaxEnt 20:37, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
