Leopold II of Anhalt-Dessau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Leopold II Maximilian of Anhalt-Dessau ( 25 December 1700 - 16 December 1751), was a Prussian general.

Leopold I, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Leopold I, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau ( July 3, 1676 - April 7, 1747), called "the Old Dessauer" ( der alte Dessauer), general field marshal in the Prussian army, was the only surviving son of John George II, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau, and was born at Dessau. The "Old Dessauer" was one of the sternest disciplinarians in an age of stern discipline, and the technical training of the infantry, under his hand, made them superior to all others in the proportion of five to three (see War of the Austrian Succession). The king, indeed, found Leopold, who was reputed, since the death of Eugène, the greatest of living soldiers, somewhat difficult to manage, and the prince spent most of the campaigning years up to 1745 in command of an army of observation on the Saxon frontier. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Leopold_I,_Prince_of_Anhalt-Dessau

ipedia.com: War of the Austrian Succession Article Glogau, however, was stormed on the night of 9 March 1741, the Prussians, under Prince Leopold (the younger) of Anhalt-Dessau, executing their task in one hour with a mathematical precision which excited universal admiration.

Amazon.de: Bücher: Johann Georg II. von Anhalt-Dessau (1627-1693). Eine politische Biographie. (Quellen und Forschungen zur Brandenburgischen und Preussischen Geschichte; QuF 16) Denn daß die Interessen Anhalts trotz seiner Bemühungen, die Protektion des brandenburgischen Kurfürsten und des Kaisers für seine Stammlande zu erlangen, oftmals der Machtpolitik benachbarter Großterritorien weichen mußten, läßt deutlich werden, daß für das direkte Umfeld der größeren Reichsstände ergänzende Betrachtungen notwendig sind, die verstärkt die Wirksamkeit machtstaatlicher Strukturen berücksichtigen. Der Ehemann einer oranischen Prinzessin, Schwager des Großen Kurfürsten von Brandenburg und Vater des sogenannten Alten Dessauers regierte nicht nur über drei Jahrzehnte lang das Fürstentum Anhalt-Dessau, sondern war zudem auch kurze Zeit in schwedischen und von 1658 bis zu seinem Tod in kurbrandenburgischen Diensten militärisch, politisch und diplomatisch aktiv. Charakteristisch für das Wirken dieses reformierten Fürsten waren ferner seine ausgeprägte reichspatriotische Haltung und seine Treue zu Kaiser Leopold I., die auffälligerweise auch vor den konfessionellen Grenzen keinen Halt machte. www.amazon.de /exec/obidos/ASIN/3428094972/sitescraper0d-20
