		Katharina von Bora, Tochter aus verarmtem Landadel, kam durch den frühen Tod der Mutter im Alter von sechs Jahren in eine Klosterschule, dann 1508 ins Zisterzienserinnenkloster Marienthron in Nimbschen bei Grimma, wo sie 1515 ihr Gelübde ablegte.
		Katharina konnte nicht nach Hause, weil dort auf die Rebellion und das Brechen des Gelübdes die Todesstrafe stand; sie zog mit neun ihrer Ordensschwestern nach Wittenberg, wo Luther sie alle aufnahm und in den Häusern seiner Freunde versorgte, Katharina etwa auch im Hause von Lukas Cranach.
		Katharina organisierte alles und trieb auch das Geld ein, dabei war sie unerbittlich und oft mehr als besorgt über die großzügige Freigebigkeit ihres Mannes, der nur zu leicht über die große Güte und Freigebigkeit des Himmels zu reden pflegte.

	Cruise Critic Cruise Styles: Katharina von Bora
		Katharina was the perfect place to return to after a day of seeking out history, ogling castles that could have come directly from a fairy tale, or wandering through cities and towns that combine Baroque architecture with the squat, functional and colorless style of Stalinist-era buildings.
		Richard, the entertainer who has been onboard Katharina von Bora for six years, is a maestro at the electronic piano; his repertoire includes old standards and favorites from the 1940's to the 1960's.
		Breakfast on Katharina von Bora is a real treat, with fresh breads and rolls, cold cuts, smoked fish, fruit and cheeses plus made to order eggs and daily specials, but I loved, most of all, heading to the Lounge when the "early riser's" coffee and croissants were put out at 6 a.m.

		This passion, captured by Scheib's pen, has managed to transcend Katharina von Bora beyond any historical footnote labeling her simply as wife to the father of Protestant Reformation.
		Despite physical and sexual abuses, she was spared her sanity by way of a bosom confidante and her irrepressible vein of independence that led to marginal acts of rebellion.
		Sidestepping the erosive action of excessive detail and banal period characterizations, Scheib effectively illuminates the complexities of Katharina von Bora and of relationships in general.
