Louis of Anhalt-Köthen (b. Köthen, 25 September 1778 - d. Köthen, 16 September 1802), was a German prince member of the House of Ascania.
He was the third son of Karl George Lebrecht, Prince of Anhalt-Köthen by his wife Louise Charlotte, daughter of Frederick, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.
Life
The death of his brother Karl William in 1793 made Louis the next in line to inherited Köthen, preceded only by his older brother Augustus Christian Frederick.
His early death prevented the eventual inheritance over Köthen, but was his son who succeded his uncle in Anhalt-Köthen when he died, ten years later.
Marriage and Issue
In Darmstadt on 20 September 1800 Louis married with Louise Karoline Theodora Amalie (b. Darmstadt, 15 January 1779 - d. Köthen, 18 April 1811), daughter of the later (1806) Louis I, Grand Duke of Hesse and the Rhine. They had two sons:
- Frederick William Augustus (b. Halle an der Saale, 7 July 1801 - d. Köthen, 29 October 1801).
- Louis Augustus Karl Frederick Emil, Duke of Anhalt-Köthen (b. posthumously, Köthen, 20 September 1802 - d. Leipzig, 18 December 1818).
