Schüsse wurden gelöst, als auf den verschiedenen Verständigungswegen der Neuzeit in die Residenz die Nachricht gelangte, daß auf Grimmburg die Großherzogin Dorothea zum zweiten Male von einem Prinzen entbunden sei.

With regard to childbirth, the subject of entbinden was originally the doctor or midwife and the object was the mother (sense 1). This use is now dated, the mother being predominantly construed as the subject (sense 2). However, this construction is still usually intransitive (with no object at all). Transitive use with the child as the object is fairly current, but cannot yet be considered perfectly standard (sense 3).
