Individual Details

Anna was born in 1531, the daughter of Graf Ludwig zu Stolberg-Königstein und Rochefort and Gräfin Walpurgis von Wied. In 1532 her father inherited the properties of the House of Eppstein-Königstein. On 2 September 1566 Anna married Ludwig III, Graf zu Löwenstein, the third son of Friedrich, Graf zu Löwenstein, and Helene von Königsegg. He was the grandson of Ludwig I, the first Graf zu Löwenstein and great grandson of Friedrich 'der Siegreiche', Kurfürst von der Pfalz. In 1556 Anna's father had inherited the county of Wertheim on the death on 14 March 1556 Michael III, Graf von Wertheim und Breuburg, first husband of his eldest daughter Katharina, and the death just eleven days later of their only child Barbara. On the death of Anna's father she inherited the county of Wertheim from him, and in 1580 Ludwig added Wertheim to his name, as Graf zu Löwenstein-Wertheim.

Anna and Ludwig had seven children, including four sons who reached adulthood. Ludwig died on 13 March 1611 in Wertheim. After his death his four sons became co-regents of the County of Wertheim and other properties. Only two brothers, Christoph Ludwig and Johann Dietrich had heirs, and formed the two branches of the family - one Protestant, the other Catholic - which continue today.

Anna died 2 September 1599 at the Löwenstein castle of Breuburg.
