Life

Christiane Charlotte was a daughter of the Count Frederick Louis of Nassau-Ottweiler (1651–1728) from his first marriage with Countess Christiane of Ahlefeldt (1659–1695).

She married her first husband, Count Charles Louis of Nassau-Saarbrucken, on 22 April 1713 in Saarbrucken:

She closed her second marriage on 17 October 1728 in Saarbrucken with Landgrave Frederick III of Hesse-Homburg. This marriage came into existence after mediation by Frederick's brother, Landgrave Ernest Louis of Hesse-Darmstadt. This marriage should consolidate the ailing finances of Hesse-Homburg. An imperial debit commission had found only two silver spoons at the court. Frederick III had raised concerns and proposed to inform his bride-to-be, who demanded a proper dower, about his financial situation. Ernest Louis then wrote to Frederick : "Write to her brother, write, as long as you have time, you can do so."

Issue

From her first marriage, Christiane Charlotte had two sons, who, however, both died in infancy:

  • Charles Frederick (1718–1719)
  • Louis Charles (1720–1721)
