Friedrich von Anhalt-Dessau (* December 27, 1769 in Dessau ; † May 27, 1814 ibid) from the House of Ascanians was Hereditary Prince of the Principality of Anhalt-Dessau

Life

Friedrich was the only child born in wedlock to Prince Leopold III. von Anhalt-Dessau (1740–1817) from his marriage to Luise (1750–1811), daughter of Margrave Friedrich Heinrich von Brandenburg-Schwedt . From his mother's inheritance, Friedrich received the Brandenburg estates of Stolzenberg , Wormsfelde and Zantoch , which then came to the House of Anhalt-Dessau. From 1785 the mathematician Friedrich Gottlieb von Busse was responsible for his education and training .

From 1788 he was an officer in the Prussian service , from which he was dismissed at the beginning of January 1794 and promoted to major general and admission to the Order of the Black Eagle . Friedrich, who never took part in Anhalt's government, died three years before his father, which is why Friedrich's eldest son succeeded him as Prince of Anhalt-Dessau.

On Friedrich's order, the design of the Kühnau Park began in 1805 .
