Illness note on Baroness von Schiller and ancestry claims

The article argues that Baroness Mathilde von Schiller, Stuttgart, is the last link to the poet, noting no noble lineage in Schiller’s ancestry. It cites genealogist Richard Weltrich who traced the poet’s roots to peasants and artisans around Grunbech, disproving noble descent and debunking ties to Freiburg im Breisgau nobility. Goethe, also of humble origin, is contrasted as revered as an artist.

Bijou Reopens with Henry Dixey in Papa Lebonnard
