Their son Adolf von Braunbehrens emerged from the marriage.

Braunbehrens was the master of Giersleben. On August 3, 1835, he was raised to the nobility of Anhalt-Koethen. The reason for the ducal appointment listed "because of his good morals and excellent virtues, his loyal zealous disposition against the ducal house and because of saving several people from drowning, with their own mortal danger, in the flood of Wipper". He was Anhalt-Koethenscher Finance Council and District Director in Giersleben (until the reorganization of the district structure due to the law of May 21, 1850) with the title “Common Finance Council and District Director from Giersleben”.

Until 1848 he belonged to the other committee of the Anhaltinische Landschaft . After the March Revolution in 1848 he was elected to the constituent state parliament for the electoral district of Warmsdorf and in 1849 to the first and second ordinary state parliament of Anhalt-Köthen for the electoral district of Giersdorf. There he was Vice President from January 21 to July 22, 1850. The members of this Special Parliament were also members of the United State Parliament of the Duchies of Anhalt-Dessau and Anhalt-Köthen.

At the request of the ducal government he was elected by the state parliament as a member of the state house of the Erfurt Union parliament.
