Marriages and offspring
First marriage
Her first marriage to Philipp Ludwig I von Hanau-Munzenberg may be a deliberate departure from her groom against the politically dominant influence of his guardian, Count Johann VI. from Nassau-Dillenburg. So the marriage took place against the initial resistance of the Nassau guardian, who would have preferred a marriage in the vicinity of his own clan. The Counts of Waldeck were more oriented towards the Landgraviate of Hesse and the Archdiocese of Mainz .
Magdalene married Count Philipp Ludwig I of Hanau-Münzenberg on February 2 or 6, 1576 . From this marriage emerged:
- Philipp Ludwig II (born November 18, 1576 - † August 9, 1612)
