Princely House of Anhalt
The Princely House of Anhalt is a German noble family that originated in the region of Anhalt, which is now part of Saxony-Anhalt. The family has a long history dating back to the 12th century and played a significant role in the political landscape of Germany. They ruled various principalities, including Anhalt-Dessau, Anhalt-Köthen, and Anhalt-Bernburg.
Members of the Princely House have held various titles and positions throughout history, often marrying into other noble families across Europe. The family's influence declined after the abolition of the monarchy in Germany in 1918, but they remain active in cultural and charitable endeavors today.
