Biography
German royalty, a member of the House of Hohenzollern. He was Prince-elector of the Margraviate of Brandenburg from 1598 until his death.
He was born to John George, Elector of Brandenburg (1525-1598), and Sophie of Legnica. He served as administrator of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg from 1566 to 1598, then succeeded his father as Elector of Brandenburg in 1598. Upon his death on 18 July 1608, Joachim Frederick was succeeded by his eldest son John Sigismund.
Joachim Frederick's first marriage on 8 January 1570 was to Catherine of Brandenburg-Küstrin, daughter of John, Margrave of Brandenburg-Küstrin, and Catherine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Joachim Frederick's second marriage, on 23 October 1603, was to Eleanor of Prussia, born 12 August 1583, daughter of Albert Frederick and Marie Eleonore of Cleves. He became regent of the Duchy of Prussia in 1605.
