Margarethe, Countess of Erbach-Erbach Alexandra, Princess Botho of Bentheim and Steinfurt Princess Ingrid Wittekind, Prince of Waldeck and Pyrmont Guda, Princess of Wied
In 1914, Altburg and her sister Ingeborg were nearly shot while riding in a motor car.[1] They did not realize a bullet had been fired until they came to a stop and noticed it lodged in the upholstery. Although the person responsible is not known, it is believed that it was a stray bullet fired accidentally.[1]
In 1918, their parents were dethroned as Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Oldenburg.[2]
