The Castle of Ahlden is a castle in Lüneburg Heath, the nearly lifelong prison-house of the wife of George I of England and the mother of George II of England and of Sophie Dorothea of Prussia.The princess Sophie Dorothea from Luneburg was divorced from her husband in 1694 when she was brought to the castle of Ahlden, where she was prisoned until her death in 1727. The reason for her divorce was her affair with the lieutenant Koenigsmarck. As they planned to exile to the Duke of Brunswick, Anton Ulrich,Koenigsmarck was assassinated by two soldiers in the Hanover castle. Sophie Dorothea, the grandmother of Friedrich II. of Prussia, shared a similar fate like her granddaughter Caroline Mathilde, who had an unlucky affair with Struensee. She also found her "prison" in the castle of Celle. Website for Ahlden: www.ahlden.de.tt
