The County of Stolberg-Rossla (de|Grafschaft Stolberg-Roßla) was a county of the Holy Roman Empire. Its capital was Rossla, now in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The territory was owned and ruled by a branch of the House of Stolberg from 1341 until 1803, when the county became mediatised by the Electorate of Saxony.
Stolberg-Rossla emerged as a partition of Stolberg-Stolberg in 1706. It was forced to recognize the suzerainty of the Electorate of Saxony in 1738. Stolberg-Rossla was mediatised to Saxony in 1803, but passed to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815. Although the territory was subsequently administered within the Province of Saxony, the counts retained their possessions until 1945. In 1893 they were raised to the rank of Princes of Stolberg-Rossla.
Prince Alexander of Stolberg-Wernigerode (b.1967), the only son of Prince Elger of Stolberg-Wernigerode (b. 1935) and his wife, Baroness Karin von Düring (b. 1934), was adopted by his distant cousin, Prince Johann Martin of Stolberg-Roßla (1917–1982) and upon his death became the 5th Prince of Stolberg-Rossla.[1] Alexander is married to Caroline Jansen (b. 1968) and has a son, Prince Ludwig Botho Elgar Wilhelm Martin (b.2008), and three daughters: Princess Juliana (2002), Princess Auguste (b. 2004) and Princess Emilia (b. 2006).[2]
