Life
Agnes Breuning was a daughter of Hermann Otto Breuning, a businessman and banker, and his wife Anna Maria Barrell, who came from England. Agnes attended schools in Geneva and London.[2] In 1887 she married the theologian Rudolf Günther (1856-1936), with whom she had two sons. From 1891 to 1906 her husband was the parish priest of Langenburg, a small town above the river Jagst in the Hohenlohe district of the then kingdom of Württemberg. The family moved in 1906 to Marburg, where Rudolf Günther was appointed professor of church art. In 1911 Agnes died of a lung disease after a long illness.
