Princess Elisabeth of Stolberg-Rossla poses for an official portrait in 1909 at the time of her engagement to Duke Johann Albrecht of Mecklenburg. They were married on December 15, 1909, a year after the death of Johann Albrecht's first wife, Princess Elisabeth of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach.
The princess was 24 years old when she married 52-year-old Duke Johann Albrecht, Regent for the Duchy of Brunswick.
Their marriage was childless. Duke Johann Albrecht died in 1920. Four years later, Elisabeth married her late husband's half-brother, Duke Adolf Friedrich, whose first wife, Princess Viktoria Feodora Reuss, died the day after giving birth to a daughter, Woizlawa Feodora in December 1918.
Princess Elisabeth was the daughter of Prince Botho of Stolberg-Rossla and Princess Hedwig of Ysenburg und Büdingen.
