Bernhard II, Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg

Bernhard II (c. 1260–after 1323) was the third son of Bernhard I and Sophie of Denmark. He succeeded in 1287 and ruled jointly with his elder brother John I until John died in 1291, then reigned alone. In 1300 he took the title count of Bernburg.

When the Anhalt-Aschersleben line died out in 1315 he inherited its princely title, though the bishopric of Halberstadt took the lands for Prince Otto's debts. In 1320 he was made count palatine of Saxony. In 1302 he married Helene of Rügen; their son Bernhard III succeeded.
