Summary: "Agnes Bernauer" by Friedrich Hebbel is a dramatic play written during the mid-19th century. The work centers on the tragic story of Agnes Bernauer, the daughter of a barber in Augsburg, whose beauty captivates hearts, including that of Duke Albrecht of Bavaria, setting the stage for a conflict between love and societal constraints.
