著者：
A Saxon noblewoman called Auguste von Kielmannsegge declared devotion to Napoleon while living with a husband who was his sworn enemy, and a man claiming to be her illegitimate son renamed himself Napoleon Bonaparte before walking into the Elbe in 1864; who was the plate of cherry cake meant for, and why did she refuse to name the son she memorialized? What secrets hid behind her black collar and the cherry cake that followers still whisper about?
In this episode, we trace Auguste Charlotte von Kielmannsegge’s life from her birth at Hermsdorf Castle through two marriages, mysterious deaths, and decades of political intrigue in Dresden, and we follow the man who spent years distributing brochures claiming to be her illegitimate son-ending his life in the river-asking whether the unanswered questions about a cake and a son can be resolved.
Person: Auguste Charlotte von Schönberg (later von Lynar, then von Kielmannsegge)
Date: Born May 18, 1777; husband Rochus August von Lynar died August 1, 1800; remarried October 10, 1822; alleged claimant died 1864

Event: A man claiming to be her illegitimate son renamed himself Napoleon Bonaparte and drowned in the Elbe River in spring 1864
Status: Countess died aged 85 having created a private Napoleon memorial and leaving unresolved questions about a cherry cake and a secret son
- Auguste inherited and administered four manors in Oberlausitz rather than acting as an absentee landlord.
- She married Count Rochus August von Lynar on May 13, 1796, and had three children: twins Rochus Carl and Rochus Carl (born 1797) and Luise Alexandra (born November 3, 1799).
- Rochus Carl died in September 1801 and Luise Alexandra died in January 1804; her husband died August 1, 1800 at age 27.
- She traveled to Italy with painter Josef Grassi around 1799-1800 and by 1800 was spending part of the year in Paris and meeting figures in the French imperial court, including Joseph Fouché.
- Saxon government dispatches described her as "politically dangerous" and reported she "often instigated intrigues to obtain information about Napoleon's opponents."
