• Notes

  Around 1512/13, Cranach married Barbara Brengbier († 1541), a daughter of Jobst Brengbier, the mayor of Gotha. Together with his wife, he was the best man at Martin Luther's marriage to Katharina von Bora in 1525. Cranach had five children with his wife Barbara: - Hans (* around 1512; † 1537), who also became an artist - Lucas (* 1515; † 1586), known as "the Younger", took over the father's workshop in 1550 (1552?) And, like him, also became a council member and mayor of Wittenberg. The grandson Augustin (1554–1595) and great-grandson Lucas (1586–1645) continued the artistic family tradition. - Barbara († 1601), married to the Saxon Chancellor Christian Brück since 1543. The mother of the poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe comes from this line, so that Lucas Cranach and Barbara Brengbier are direct ancestors of Goethe. - Ursula (life data unknown), first marriage on May 3, 1537 (husband unknown), second marriage in 1544 with the Gotha mayor Georg Dasch - Anna (* unknown; † June 30, 1577), married to the Wittenberg pharmacist and mayor Caspar Pfreund
