Sophie Marie von Voß

She had an older brother, Friedrich Wilhelm von Pannwitz (1719-1790), Knight Commander of the Order of Saint John.

Prince Augustus William of Prussia[2] fell in love with her, and to discontinue what could have developed into a socially unacceptable affair, and end the difficult situation created when the prince reacted with jealous fits, she was married to her cousin, Count Johann Ernst von Voss (1726-1793), in 1751.

From 1763 until 1793, her spouse had the office of chamberlain of the household of Queen Elisabeth Christine at Schönhausen Palace, which meant that she often attended court.

In 1787, the crown prince committed bigamy with the daughter of her brother-in-law, Julie von Voss.

After Queen Louise's death, king Frederick William III relied upon Voß's company.
