Princess Augusta of Prussia

Princess Augusta of Prussia ( _de. Auguste Christine Friederike, Prinzessen von Preußen) (born Potsdam, 1 May 1780; died Kassel, 19 February 1841) was the third daughter and fifth child of Frederick William II of Prussia and Frederika Louisa of Hesse-Darmstadt. She was the first wife of William II, Elector of Hesse.

On 13 February 1797 in Berlin, Augusta married Prince William of Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel), eldest surviving son of William IX, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel. In 1803, the Landgrave was raised to Elector of Hesse, and Prince William succeeded on his father's death in 1821.

William and Augusta had six children :

* Wilhelm (9 April 1798 - 25 October 1800)
* Karoline (29 July 1799 - 28 November 1854)
* Luise (3 April 1801 - 28 September 1803)
* Friedrich (20 August 1802 - 6 June 1875), later Frederick William, Elector of Hesse
* Marie (6 September 1804 - 4 January 1888), married Bernhard II, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen
