Ducal House of Anhalt (Ascania)

[Stefan]

How is Sabine related to the Ducal Family of Anhalt?

Probably not related to the real Anhalt's but rather to one of the many adopted's.

Not for nothing the modernised House Law categorically rules out as successor anyone who has no bloodline to Joachim Ernst von Anhalt (the father of Eduard von Anhalt). With this trying to make things clear, out the chaos by all those "adoptions".

The Problem is that according to german namelaw they adopted persons and even their diviorced wives can use the same name as the real Analt's.

So only those who have a bit more knocklwede can recognize who is a "real" Anhalt and who is not.

Is it not possible to make a designation? Like Anhalt-Dessau, Anhalt-Zerbst, Anhalt-Köthen etc. Maybe Prince Eduard can request a name change for him and his three daughters into Anhalt-Askanien, the four of them being the only agnatic Anhalt descendants of the Ascanians?

Then we have the real Ascanians (von Anhalt-Askanien) and the "adopted" bunch (von Anhalt).

They can call themselves what they like as long as it's in accordance with German name laws, but I'm quite certain that the position of the family would be that if someone should change their names it should be the adoptees not them.

Yes, that was what I was thinking, the adoptees should change the name, but if Mohammed does not come to the mountain, the mountain has to come to Mohammed...

The people who have no idea about who have fake titles and who doesn't are unlikely to know that a certain twist of the name signifies the real descendants of the old house so the change would be quite unnecessary IMO. Then again who knows if there'll be some add on the name once Prince Eduard's grandson assumes the headship of the house.

Why should the adoptes one chabnge the name. Often they let themself only adopt to get that name and became famous with it.

That was my point. I was not clear enough. The adoptees will never change their name. So if Prince Eduard and his daughters ever wanted to designate themselves as the only real Anhalts, they are the ones to add something to their name, how unfair that may sound.

Eduard Prinz von Anhalt-Askanien.

It says what he is: an Anhalt from Ascanian descent.

 

[theroyalfly]

I agree. Eduard should amend their House law to highlight that they descend from the agnatic Anhalts.

Sabine and all adoptees as far as I know are nowhere to be found in royal genealogical surveys.

Makes one cry for a review of the German name laws. I am not a countess because one ancestor was female and not male... Today, I could be... And could adopt numerous people. Which I wouldn't do because my grandmother would have my head in the afterlife... But it is not right to be able to "swap" "noble" names like "peasant" ones when they still held so much meaning for the whole of the people. IMHo, of course.

I was going through Eurohistory journal and was reading this partly sad story about a Princess of Anhalt who moved to America and married an America. @Kataryn you will definitely love this story.
