Greetings, Welcome to the official blog of the House of Ascania. This platform marks the beginning of an exciting journey where we delve into the illustrious history of one of Europe’s oldest noble families and share stories that have shaped our legacy over a millennium.
The House of Ascania’s legacy spans over a thousand years, marked by significant contributions to German and European history. Our blog will be a treasure trove of these rich narratives, featuring insights and stories not found in conventional history books.
An integral part of our blog will be the introduction of the many individuals, past and present, who support and are part of the House of Ascania. At the forefront is Eduard Prince von Anhalt, Duke and head of the House, and Grandmaster of the House Order of Albert the Bear. This order, named after the founder of the Ascanian dynasty, embodies Albert the Bear’s ideals of chivalry, cultural stewardship, and service to the community — values that continue to define our identity today. Prince Eduard’s leadership and vision uphold our esteemed traditions.
Alongside Prince Eduard and the family of Anhalt-Ascania are notable figures such as Stefan von Finckenstein, Alexander von Bismarck, Karl-Heinz Meyer, as well as many dedicated members and knights of our Order. Their collective achievements and dedication play a pivotal role in our ongoing story.
Prince Eduard will personally unveil many secrets of the House of Ascania, sharing exclusive insights and stories that have remained hidden from the public eye until now. His contributions will include engaging articles and visual artwork, offering a unique glimpse into our history and cultural heritage.
Our blog will also serve as a hub for updates on our various projects, cultural endeavors, and the future direction of the House of Ascania. This will include Prince Eduard’s book releases, publications, and event announcements. We are committed to preserving our past while embracing innovative ideas for the future, and we look forward to sharing this journey with you.
