Anna of Austria (1275, Vienna, Austria – 1327, Legnica) was a daughter of Albert I of Germany and his wife Elisabeth of Tirol. She was a member of the House of Habsburg.

First marriage

Anna first married in 1295 in Graz. Her husband was Herman, Margrave of Brandenburg-Salzwedel. They had four children:

  • John (1302–1317), succeeded his father, but died young
  • Matilde of Brandenburg (died 1323) married Henry IV the Faithful

In 1308, Herman died, and their son John succeeded him.

Second marriage

In 1310 Anna married Henry VI the Good, Duke of Wrocław, son of Henry V the Fat and his wife Elisabeth of Greater Poland. They had three daughters:
