 | | Born in 1668, the only daughter of Elector Ernst August (1629-1698) of Hanover, Sophie Charlotte was named after her mother, Sophie (1630-1714), and Sophie's niece, princess Elisabeth Charlotte (1652-1722) of the Palatinate, who was eventually to become, in 1671, the duchess of Orléans. |
 | | During this visit Sophie Charlotte invited Leibniz to Berlin to be her friend and teacher, as he had been the friend and teacher of her mother for so many years. |
 | | To mark the occasion, Leibniz was invited to Berlin by the elector, and he stayed as a guest in Sophie Charlotte's palace at Lützenburg (later, Charlottenburg) outside Berlin. |
