Anna of Brunswick-Lüneburg (1502–1568)
Anna of Brunswick-Lüneburg (6 December 1502 in Celle – 6 November 1568 in Szczecin) was a princess of Brunswick-Lüneburg by births and marriage Duchess of Pomerania.

Life 
Anna was a daughter of the Duke Henry I of Lüneburg (1468–1532) from his marriage to Margaret (1469–1528), daughter of the Elector Ernest of Saxony.

She married on 2 February 1525 in Szczecin Duke Barnim XI of Pomerania (1501–1573). On the occasion of their marriage, Barnim concluded a defensive alliance with her father. In exchange for her dowry of  Anna was promised the city and district of Stolp as her Wittum. In 1536, she was promised the district of Rügenwalde instead.  Anna died before her husband, so that these promises never had to be applied.

Anna died in 1568 and was buried in the Church of St. Otto in Szczecin.

Anna was one of the strongest opponents of her brother-in-law George. She felt that he put her husband at a disadvantage in the government of Pomerania and that George's intent to marry Margaret of Brandenburg was undermining her own position. Anna was a driving force behind the division of Pomerania in 1532.
