Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria (1858–1921)

Auguste Viktoria of Schleswig-Holstein was born at Dolzig Castle in Brandenburg, Prussia (present-day Dłużek, Poland), the eldest daughter of the future Duke Frederick VIII of Schleswig-Holstein, and his wife Princess Adelheid of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. She was a grand-niece of Queen Victoria of Great Britain. The family lived at Dolzig until the death of her grandfather, Duke Christian August II, then moved to Primkenau (Przemków), to a country estate her father had inherited. In 1881, Auguste Viktoria was -- somewhat improbably -- married to Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, later to become Kaiser Wilhelm II, with whom she had seven children. She was active in work for the Red Cross.
