Victoria Charlotte of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym (25 September 1715 – 4 February 1772) was a princess of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym by birth and Margravine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth by marriage.

Early life

[edit]

Victoria Charlotte was a daughter of Prince Victor I of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym (1693–1772) from his first marriage to Countess Charlotte Louise of Isenburg-Büdingen-Birstein (1680–1739), daughter of Count William Maurice of Isenburg-Büdingen-Birstein (1657-1711) and his wife, Countess Anna Amalia of Isenburg-Büdingen (1653-1700).

Biography

[edit]

On 26 April 1732 she married the later Margrave Frederick Christian of Brandenburg-Bayreuth (1708–1769) in Schaumburg. After the wedding the couple moved into the New Castle in Neustadt an der Aisch at the request Frederick Christian's brother George Frederick Charles.[1]

The marriage ended in divorce in 1764, a year after Frederick Christian succeeded his brother as Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth. The couple had already lived separately since 1739 because Frederick Christian was very jealous.[2] Victoria Charlotte spent the last years of her life in humble conditions in Halle.

She died in 1772 and was buried in the Melander Crypt in Holzappel.
