Anna Maria Zieglerin
Anna Maria Zieglerin (ca. 1550–1575) was a female alchemist in the sixteenth-century who was found guilty of the murder of a courier, attempted poisoning and intent to burglarize. She was burned alive on February 7, 1575 for her crimes.〔Robin L. Gordon, ''Searching for the Soror Mystica'' (Lanham: University Press of America, 2013), 71–72.〕
==Early life==
Most of what is known about Zieglerin’s early life comes from the court transcripts of her trial in 1575. Anna Maria Zieglerin was born ca. 1550 in Pillnitz, Germany. Zieglerin’s birth was unusual. She was born prematurely and was wrapped in skin from a woman’s body that was rubbed with a balsam for which she stayed for twelve weeks until her body was fully matured.〔Tara E. Nummedal, “Alchemical Reproduction and the Career of Anna Maria Zieglerin,” AMBIX 48, no. 2 (2001): 58.〕 Her parents were of minor nobility, so she spent her childhood in the Dresden Court of Augustus, Elector of Saxony and had princes and other nobles as godparents.〔Nummedal, “Alchemical Reproduction,” 58.〕 Zieglerin was said to have had a weak composition. Zieglerin, herself, did not find her weak constitution to be an imposition. In her trial, Zieglerin claimed she did not have the flow (did not menstruate) and was more pious than others and that she wanted to be like the angels.〔Nummedal, “Alchemical Reproduction,” 58.〕 Zieglerin’s mother attempted to marry her off to Nikolaus von Hamdorff, but Zieglerin rejected him. Angered by her rejection, he raped the fourteen-year-old Zieglerin and she became pregnant. Anna brought the baby to term in secret. After giving birth, she wrapped the baby in a linen cloth and threw it into the water.〔Nummedal, “Alchemical Reproduction,” 59.〕 Anna did later marry a nobleman from Rothenburg when she was sixteen, but the marriage was short-lived. The marriage ended after only nine weeks when Zieglerin’s husband died in a horse riding accident.〔Gordon, ''Searching for the Soror Mystica'', 72.〕 After the death of her first husband, Zieglerin ended up in Gotha. Her brother forced her to marry a court jester, Heinrich Schombach. The marriage was not a happy one. In 1566, Zieglerin and Schombach met Philipp Sömmering at a court in Gotha. Sömmering was working as an alchemist for Duke Johann Friedrich. The city was besieged in 1567; Zieglerin, Schombach and Sömmering fled together to Eschwege.〔Nummedal, “Alchemical Reproduction,” 59〕
