Eleonore Charlotte of Wurttemberg-Montbeliard (20 November 1656 in Horburg – April 1743 in Wroclaw), was by marriage Duchess of Oels-Wurttemberg.
Life
Charlotte Eleanor was a daughter of the Duke George II of Wurttemberg-Montbeliard (1626-1699) from his marriage to Anne (1624-1680), the daughter of Gaspard III de Coligny.
On 7 May 1672, she married in Olesnica with Duke Silvius II Frederick of Wurttemberg-Oels. The marriage remained childless.
In 1676, Charlotte Eleanor acquired the Lordship and town of Twardogora and moved her residence there. She expanded the town extensively at her own expense, and supported new inhabitants. In 1688, she replaced the church by a larger one. She obtained a tax exemption for the town's residents for 100 years from Emperor Leopold I.
In 1712, she had a legal dispute with Anna Sophia of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (1647-1726), the widowed Duches of Wurttemberg-Juliusburg. She lost the case and had to transfer Twardogora to Anna Sophia.
