THE DUCHY OF ANHALT

Herzogtum Anhalt

House of Ascania

Wolfgang of Anhalt, called the Confessor, who became prince of Anhalt-
Köthen in 1508, was the second ruler in the world to introduce the
Reformation to his country. He was a co-signer of the Augsburg Confession
in 1530, and after the Battle of Mühlberg in 1547 was placed under
Imperial ban and deprived of his lands by Emperor Charles V. After the
peace of Passau in 1552 he bought back his principality, but as he was
childless he surrendered it in 1562 to his kinsmen the princes of Anhalt
-Dessau. Ernest I, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau (d. 1516) left three sons,
John V, George III, and Joachim, who ruled their lands together for many
years, and who favoured the Lutheran doctrine, which thus became dominant
in Anhalt. About 1546 the three brothers divided their principality and
founded the lines of Zerbst, Plötzkau and Dessau. This division, however,
was only temporary, as the acquisition of Köthen, and a series of deaths
among the ruling princes, enabled Joachim Ernest, a son of John V, to
unite the whole of Anhalt under his rule in 1570.

Joachim Ernest died in 1586, and his five sons ruled the land in common
until 1603, when owing to the lack of primogeniture, Anhalt was again
divided, and the lines of Dessau, Bernburg, Plötzkau, Zerbst and Köthen
were re-founded. The principality was ravaged during the Thirty Years'
War, and in the earlier part of this struggle Christian I of Anhalt-
Bernburg took an important part. In 1635 an arrangement was made by the
various princes of Anhalt, which gave a certain authority to the eldest
member of the family, who was thus able to represent the principality
as a whole. This proceeding was probably due to the necessity of
maintaining an appearance of unity in view of the disturbed state
of European politics.

In 1665, the branch of Anhalt-Köthen became extinct, and according to a
family compact this district was inherited by Lebrecht, Prince of Anhalt-
Plötzkau, who surrendered Plötzkau to Bernburg, and took the title of prince
of Anhalt-Köthen. In the same year the princes of Anhalt decided that if
any branch of the family became extinct its lands should be equally divided
between the remaining branches. This arrangement was carried out after the
death of Frederick Augustus, Prince of Anhalt-Zerbst in 1793, and Zerbst
was divided between the three remaining princes. During these years the
policy of the different princes was marked, perhaps intentionally, by
considerable uniformity. Once or twice Calvinism was favoured by a prince,
but in general the house was loyal to the doctrines of Martin Luther. The
growth of Prussia provided Anhalt with a formidable neighbour, and the long
-delayed establishment of primogeniture by all branches of the family
prevented further divisions of the principality.

In 1806, Napoleon elevated the remaining states of Anhalt-Bernburg, Anhalt-
Dessau and Anhalt-Köthen to duchies; in the meantime, Anhalt-Plötzkau and
Anhalt-Zerbst had ceased to exist. These duchies were united again in 1863,
due to the extinction of the Köthen and Bernburg lines. The new duchy
consisted of two large portions, Eastern and Western Anhalt, separated by
the interposition of a part of the Prussian Province of Saxony and of five
exclaves surrounded by Prussian territory: Alsleben, Mühlingen, Dornburg,
Gödnitz and Tilkerode-Abberode. The eastern and larger portion of the duchy
was enclosed by the Prussian government district of Potsdam (in the Prussian
province of Brandenburg) and by Magdeburg and Merseburg, belonging to the
Prussian province of Saxony. The western or smaller portion, the so-called
Upper Duchy or Ballenstedt, was also enclosed by the two latter districts as
well as by the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg.

Along with the fall of all German monarchies, the Duchy of Anhalt came to an
end in 1918-19 during the revolution that followed the end of World War I.
It was replaced by the Free State of Anhalt within the Weimar Republic. After
World War II, the Free State was united with the Prussian parts of Saxony to
form Saxony-Anhalt. Subsequently, Saxony-Anhalt was dissolved in 1952, but
re-established prior to the German reunification in 1990, since when it has
been one of the sixteen (Bundes)länder (states) of Germany

The House of Ascania

House of Ascania (German: Askanier) was a dynasty of German rulers.
It was also known as the House of Anhalt, after Anhalt, its longest
possession. The Ascanians are named after Ascania (or Ascaria) Castle,
which is located near and named after Aschersleben. The castle was seat
of the County of Ascania, a title that was later subsumed into the
titles of the princes of Anhalt. The earliest known member of the House
is Esiko, Count of Ballenstedt. He was first mentioned in 1036, and is
assumed to have been a grandson (through his mother) of Odo I, Margrave
of the Saxon Ostmark. From Odo, the Ascanians inherited large properties
in the Saxon Eastern March.

In 1237 and 1244 two towns, Cölln and Berlin were founded during the rule of
Otto and Johann, grandsons of Margrave Albert the Bear, (later they were united
into one city, Berlin). The emblem of the House of Ascania, red eagle and bear,
became the heraldric emblems of Berlin. In 1320 the Brandenburg Ascanian line
came to an end. After the Emperor had deposed the Guelph rulers of Saxony in
1180, Ascanians returned to rule the Duchy of Saxony, which had been reduced to
its eastern half by the Emperor. However, even in eastern Saxony, the Ascanians
could establish control only in limited areas, mostly near the River Elbe. In the
13th century, the Principality of Anhalt was split off from the Duchy, and later, the
remaining state was split into Saxe-Lauenburg and Saxe-Wittenberg. The Ascanian
dynasties in the two Saxon states became extinct in 1689 and in 1422, respectively,
but Ascanians continued to rule in the smaller state of Anhalt and its various
subdivisions until monarchy was abolished in 1918.
