Sophia of Saxe-Weissenfels, Countess of Brandenburg-Bayreuth

Sophia had considerable influence on cultural life in Bayreuth, which was described as the finest venue for singspiel in Germany.

In 1705 the foundation stone was laid for a new church in the St. Georgen district of the city - it was dedicated to Hagia Sophia after her.

She remarried on 14 July 1734 to Albert Joseph, Count of Hoditz and Wolframitz (1706-1778), the son of Count Carl Joseph von Hoditz und Wolframitz (1673–1741) and his wife, Eleonore Barbara von Paczensky und Tenczin (1676–1725).
