Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Franzhagen
The Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Franzhagen line was the name for the main line of the ducal house of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg from 1689 to 1709 . Its name was derived from Franzhagen Castle near Schulendorf in the Duchy of Saxony-Lauenburg .
The Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg had already gone bankrupt in 1667. The Duke Christian Adolf I married Eleonore Charlotte von Sachsen-Lauenburg in 1676 . In 1689 she inherited her father's property, Schloss Franzhagen, to which the Sonderburger line was reduced. It died out in 1709. In 1716 the Franzhagen Castle was demolished.
