Princess Emma of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym
Princess Emma of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym (20 May 1802–1 August 1858) was a German princess. She was the Grandmother of the Dutch Queen Emma of Waldeck and Pyrmont, who was named after her.
== Life ==
Emma was one of the four daughters of the prince Victor II, Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym (1767–1812) from his marriage to Amelia of Nassau-Weilburg (1776–1841), daughter of Charles Christian, Prince of Nassau-Weilburg. She grew up together with her sisters in Hoym in Anhalt and was carefully educated. Their great-uncle, Frederick, Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym, had waived his right of succession in Schaumburg and the County of Holzappel in 1811 in favour of his great-niece, but in 1828 this decision was overruled.〔Christian von Stramberg, Anton Joseph Weidenbach: ''Denkwürdiger und nützlicher Rheinischer Antiquarius'', R. F. Hergt, Koblenz, 1853, p. 322〕
After her husband's death in 1852, she ruled Waldeck and Pyrmont as Regent for her minor son George Victor. Among her first acts was a reform of the Waldeck contingent of the federal army, implemented in 1845 by Prussian officers.〔Ingeborg Schnack: ''Lebensbilder aus Kurhessen und Waldeck 1830-1930'', vol. 20, part 6, N. G. Elwert, Marburg, 1958, p. 366〕 The Revolutions of 1848 took place during Emma's reign; in Waldeck they led to a new parliament being convened.〔see Rauch〕 Emma's reign has been described as an important phase in the history of Waldeck, with a complete overhaul of the organisation of the state.
The Emma Waterfall in the Gastein Valley was named after her, as was her granddaughter, the Dutch Queen regent Emma. A double thaler issued in 1847 was known as ''Fat Emma''.〔(''Dicke Emma.'' ) Page at MiMi.hu〕
