Magdalene Sybille von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf was born as the daughter of Duke Friedrich III. von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf (1597–1659) and his wife Maria Elisabeth von Sachsen (1610–1684).
Duchess of Mecklenburg
On December 28, 1654 Magdalene Sybille married Duke Gustav Adolf von Mecklenburg-Güstrow.
