Barbara (Cranach) Brück is the daughter of Lucas Cranach the Elder, but they aren't linked to each other. This can only be done by a Pre-1500-member. Thanks in advance.

I notice that her name has been changed from Magdalene to Barbara recently, but the source cited appears to be a press release and perhaps not really acceptable as a source for pre-1700 or pre-1500 profiles (but my German isn't that good and I could have that wrong).

I had a look for a better source and found this page Datei:Goethe-Cranach-Orth-Scheibler-AT-vt11.djvu – GenWiki (genealogy.net) which looks to be 1 page of a longer work.  It doesn't cite sources either but does give more detail in terms of full dates and information about occupation, which might represent more research?

It names her as Magdalene, so perhaps it is better to change her name back or at least put in a research note explaining that different sources give different names?

The entry of the Deutsche Biographie (German's Who is Who) of Lucas the Elder mentions Barbara as wife of Christian Brück. It would be good if that source could be added to the profile of Lucas. Barbara is a name that comes up in the family for at least four generations.

My mistake, but it's interesting that she is given various dates she died.  Currently on WikiTree it is 1590, the Deutsche Biographie has 'after 22 November 1569', and the Cranach Digital Archive has 1601.  A genealogy of Goethe also has her death as 16 December 1601 (she is no. 491)

The Cranach Digital Archive has many original documents for Lucas Cranach the elder and some of his family members with transcriptions.
