Heinrich, Duke of Saxe-Merseburg
- Heinrich, Duke of Saxe-Merseburg
.
He was the sixth but fourth surviving son of Christian I, Duke of Saxe-Merseburg and Christiane of Scheleswig-Holstein-Glücksburg.
Life
Before the death of his father, Heinrich received de town of Spremberg as appanage.
For almost forty years he was known as "Duke of Saxe-Merseburg-Spremberg"; but the death without male issue of his nephew Maurice Wilhelm (1731) changed this.
By this time, Heinrich was the only surviving male member of the family. At sixty-nine years of age, he inherited the duchy of Saxe-Merseburg.
Marriage and Issue
In Güstrow on 29 March 1692 Heinrich married with Elisabeth of Mecklenburg-Güstrow -sister of Hedwig, the wife of Heinrich's brother August of Zörbig-. They had three children:
#Maurice (b. Spremberg, 29 October 1694 - d. Spremberg, 11 April 1695).
#Christiane Fredericka (b. Spremberg, 17 May 1697 - d. Spremberg, 21 August 1722).
#Gustava Magdalene (b. Spremberg, 2 October 1699 - d. Spremberg, 3 October 1699).
Without surviving male issue, the line of Saxe-Merseburg became extinct on his death.
