9 Where Cranach fell in love Gotha Lucas Cranach the Elder fell in love in Gotha. It was here he met Barbara Brengebier, the daughter of a town councillor. Their marriage is thought to have taken place in Gotha in around 1512. The building on the main square that belonged to the Brengebier family, and in which Cranach’s daughter Ursula later lived with her husband, is still called the Cranach House today. Her sister Barbara also lived in Gotha from 1555 and was married to Christian Brück, the chancellor to Elector Johann Friedrich I of Saxony. In the course of the Grumbach feuds he was quartered on 18 April 1567 in the main square, where a plaque commemorating the date is set in the cobblestones. The museums at Friedenstein Palace contain numerous important paintings and an extensive collection of prints by the Cranach family, which were from old Ernestine collections and brought to the town by the Dukes of Saxe-Gotha.
