The assertion that Anna Amalia had a dalliance with von Trenck is often repeated in the literature, but nowhere have I read in any other source that they actually married and produced a child. This needs a citation of some sort. The assertion is dubious.
Also, the claim that her library burned in 2004 is absolutely a result of confusion between Princess Anna Amalia of Prussia and Duchess Anna Amalia of Brunswick-Wolffenbüttel (later Weimar). Her library, housed in Weimar, burned in fall 2004.65.96.183.164 (talk) 22:25, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. The assertion that in 1743 she married the 17 year-old von Trenck remains completely undocumented and is contradicted by her entry on page 102 of Huberty, Giraud and Magdelaine's respected and heavily annotated L'Allemagne Dynastique, Tome V -- Hohenzollern-Waldeck, publshied 1989, ISBN2-901138-04-7, which would not list any children she had, legitimate or otherwise, but would give details of any marriage. None is mentioned. She is stated to have lived from 1723 to 1787, having been both born and deceased in Berlin, and having become Abbess of Quedlinburg on the 16 July 1755. The rumor of this marriage needs to be deleted. FactStraight (talk) 03:31, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
