Biography

Sophia Louisa (von Hessen-Darmstadt) zu Oettingen Oettingen was born on 6 July 1670 in Darmstadt, Hessen-Darmstadt, Heiliges Römisches Reich, daughter of Ludwig (Hessen-Darmstadt) von Hessen-Darmstadt (1630–1678) and Elisabeth Dorothea (von Sachsen-Gotha-Altenburg) von Hessen-Darmstadt (1640–1709).

Her siblings were:

  1. Magdalena Sybilla (von Hessen-Darmstadt) von Württemberg (born 28 April 1652)
  2. Sophie Eleonore von Hessen-Darmstadt (born 1653)
  3. Georg von Hessen-Darmstadt (born 1654)
  4. Maria Elisabeth von Hessen-Darmstadt (born 11 March 1656)
  5. Auguste Magdalene von Hessen-Darmstadt (born 6 March 1657)
  6. Ludwig von Hessen-Darmstadt (born 22 June 1658)
  7. Friedrich von Hessen-Darmstadt (born 1659)
  8. Sophie Marie (von Hessen-Darmstadt) von Sachsen-Eisenberg (born 7 May 1661)
  9. Ernst Ludwig (Hessen-Darmstadt) von Hessen-Darmstadt (born 15 December 1667)
  10. Georg von Hessen-Darmstadt (born 25 April 1669)
  11. Philipp von Hessen-Darmstadt (born 20 July 1671)
  12. Johann Friedrich von Hessen-Darmstadt (born 1672)
  13. Heinrich von Hessen-Darmstadt (born 29 September 1674)
  14. Elisabeth Dorothea (von Hessen-Darmstadt) von Hessen-Homburg (born 24 April 1676)
  15. Friedrich von Hessen-Darmstadt (born 18 September 1677)

Sophia married Albrecht Ernst zu Oettingen-Oettingen (born on 8 August 1669 in Oettingen, Oettingen, Heiliges Römisches Reich; son of Albrecht Ernst Oettingen-Oettingen and Christine Friederike (Württemberg) von Oettingen-Oettingen).

Their only son died the day of his birth. Their daughter Elisabeth Friederike (1691–1758) who married Carl Ludwig von Hohenlohe-Weikersheim in 1713, died a few days before her mother. After their death, there was a years-long dispute between the House of Hessen-Darmstadt and the princes of Oettingen-Wallerstein over Sophia's share of her husband's inheritance, which went all the way to the Imperial Aulic Council.

Sophia died on 2 June 1758 in Schrattenhofen, Oettingen-Oettingen, Heiliges Römisches Reich, aged 87.
