Marriage

Friederike married Alexander Karl, Duke of Anhalt-Bernburg, son of Alexis Friedrich Christian, Duke of Anhalt-Bernburg and Princess Marie Friederike of Hesse-Kassel, on 30 October 1834 at Schloss Louisenlund, near Schleswig.[1][2] Alexander Karl suffered from schizophrenia and died on 19 August 1863 at age 58. Because the marriage produced no issue,[1][2] the Duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg was inherited by Leopold IV, Duke of Anhalt-Dessau-Köthen who merged the duchy with his own to form a united Duchy of Anhalt.
