The marriage with Philip II took place on September 9, 1480, for which a papal dispensation was required, since the married couple were related to each other in the fourth degree. Anna brought a dowry of 4,500  florins into the marriage. Her husband ordered her a Wittum in the amount of 450 florins from the income from Schaafheim Castle and presented her with a morning gift of 1000 florins. Both of them at the same time waived all rights to the rule of Büdingen.
