Maria Kunigunde of Saxony (1740-1826) was the last abbess of the abbeys of Essen and Thorn. For 27 years (1776-1803) she led and shaped the Essen convent. On the 199th anniversary of her death, on 8 April 2025, Borbeck Castle will be officially named "Women's Place NRW". Flautando Köln will provide the musical backdrop to the ceremony with works by Maddalena Casulana, Rachael Cogan and Anna Amalia of Prussia.
