Life

After the death of his father in 1287, John succeded him in the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg; but he had to co-rule with his third brother, Bernhard II. The second brother, Albert, became a priest and renounced to all his rights. From the two youngest brothers, Henry also was ordained as priest and renounced, and Rudolf was possibly dead by that time.

John died four years, unmarried and childless. He was succeded by his brother Bernhard II, who became in sole ruler.
