Dark Count and Dark Countess is the name for a mysterious couple who lived at Eishausen Castle near Hildburghausen from 1810 to 1837 and rarely appeared in public. Because of their reclusive life and their unclear identity, they were known in literature as “the Dark Counts” (Comte et Comtesse des Ténèbres). For a long time she was considered Marie Thérèse Charlotte of France, daughter of the executed French King Louis XVI. and his wife Marie-Antoinette, which has now been refuted through anthropological and molecular genetic analyses.

There is a mysterious story behind the remarkable tomb of the Dark Countess. Maybe everything stays in the dark? 😉

Very nice area with bizarre rock formations

Certainly not even the two mysterious gentlemen themselves would have ever suspected that their stay here would last more than thirty years when they arrived in Hildburghausen on February 7, 1807. On that evening, an elegantly dressed couple came to the hotel "Englischer Hof" and from then on attracted attention because of their strange life as a hermit. This very noticeably withdrawn life intensified after the move to the castle in the neighboring village of Einhausen. Above all, the lady, who was always veiled, was never seen. She died in the solitude of Einhausen Castle on November 25th, 1837 and was - according to her will - buried on the Hildburghausen Stadtberg. Numerous researchers and writers have since taken up the explosive topic. Most assume that the so-called Dark Countess is the "Madame Royale", the daughter of King Louis XVI, who was executed during the French Revolution. and his wife Marie Antoinette. A joint scientific project by the city of Hildburghausen and the Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk is now supposed to solve the riddle, among other things with the help of a DNA comparison. But the story remains exciting ... Source: https://www.thueringen.info/grab-der-dunkelgraefin.html

Who it was with the Dark Countess, is still surrounded by legends. It is only clear that she came to Hildburghausen in the early 19th century, accompanied by a Dutch diplomat. She got her mystical name because of the dark veil she was supposed to have worn. A genetic analysis of their remains was the supposition that it could not confirm the daughter of the French royal couple of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, who were executed during the French Revolution. So their identity remains in the name of the name.
