Prince Karl Anton August of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck


Prince Karl Anton August of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck was the son of Peter August, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck and Princess Sophie of Hesse-Philippsthal.

Marriage and issue

On 30 May 1754, Anton married Countess Frederica Charlotte of Dohna-Schlodien in Leistenau in Königsberg. The couple had one child, Friedrich Karl Ludwig, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck.
Anton would have inherited the dukedom of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck had it not been for his early death by wounds suffered at the Battle of Kunersdorf. His father Peter outlived him, so the dukedom was passed on from Peter to Anton's only son, Friedrich.
