The title "Prince of Anhalt" refers to a noble title associated with the historical region of Anhalt in central Germany. The principality was established in the 12th century and has seen various rulers from the House of Ascania. The title has been held by several princes over the centuries, each contributing to the region's cultural and political landscape. Today, the title is largely ceremonial, with the last reigning prince, Prince Hans-Georg of Anhalt, having abdicated in the early 20th century. The current holders of the title often engage in cultural and charitable activities, preserving the legacy of the Anhalt principality in modern times.
