Anhalt-Köthen
Anhalt-Köthen was a principality of the Holy Roman Empire ruled by the House of Ascania. It was created in 1396 when the Principality of Anhalt-Zerbst was partitioned between Anhalt-Dessau and Anhalt-Köthen. The first creation lasted until 1562, when it fell to Prince Joachim Ernest of Anhalt-Zerbst, who merged it into the reunited Principality of Anhalt.

L'Anhalt-Köthen est un État du nord-est du Saint-Empire. Il est créé en 1396, lors de la division de la principauté d'Anhalt-Zerbst entre la principauté d'Anhalt-Dessau et la principauté d'Anhalt-Köthen. En 1562, la principauté d'Anhalt-Köthen revient à la principauté d'Anhalt-Zerbst. En 1603, la principauté d'Anhalt-Köthen est recréé lors de la division de la principauté d'Anhalt-Zerbst.
