- Catherina_Margaretha_Linck abstract "Catharina Margaretha Linck was a female to male transgender person who was tried and executed for sodomy in Prussia in 1721. Linck was transgender and may have fooled hid wife into thinking that he was male assigned at birth. His wife, Catharina Margaretha Mühlhahn, was also imprisoned at the time of their capture. Linck's execution was the last known one for lesbianism in Europe and an anomaly for the age.Linck was born in Halle. The illegitimate child of a widow, Linck grew up in an orphanage. He served (disguised as a man) in the armies of Hanover, Prussia, Hesse, and Poland. He also worked as a weaver as a man.At the age of 23, he married Mühlhahn, who was only 18 and later said that at the time she believed Linck to have been male assigned at birth Linck engaged in intercourse with his wife, presumably in the dark, using a strap-on leather dildo. The couple sometimes engaged in violent quarrels, but they stayed together for four years. The secret was revealed when Mühlhahn's suspicious mother beat and stripped Linck, discovering that he was female assigned at birth.After his arrest, Linck admitted his guilt and said that he "deserved death tenfold" for his crimes. In his defense, he said that he had "been deluded by Satan" when he married his wife. He also said it was no sin for a maiden to wear men's clothes. Linck told the court that both his wife and mother-in-law knew he was female assigned at birth before the marriage. Mühlhahn insisted that this was not true. Linck was also punished for having allowed himself to be baptized more than once, as he converted to Roman Catholic and then the Lutheran faith. Wearing men's clothes was also held against him as "unnatural". It was a time when gender roles were strict, including what was appropriate clothing for each.Linck was executed by beheading with a sword; his body was then burned. The court struggled with the case because Linck committed the act of sodomy with a "lifeless instrument". The jurists debated the nature of "female sodomy". They debated whether this was as criminal as if he had been a cisgender male using his own body part. A minority of jurists did not believe that the death penalty was applicable at all, as no "fleshly union" had taken place, and instead advocated life in prison. The final judgment was left to the king, Frederick William I, who ordered Linck executed.Linck's story has been the subject of a play, Executed For Sodomy: The Life Story of Caterina Linck, which was performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2013.".
