Christian Heinrich of Brandenburg-Bayreuth-Kulmbach (Bayreuth, 29 July 1661 – Weferlingen, 5 April 1708), was a German prince and member of the House of Hohenzollern and nominal Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth-Kulmbach.
Family
He was the fifth of the six children born to Georg Albrecht of Brandenburg-Bayreuth-Kulmbach by his first wife, Princess Marie Elisabeth of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg.
Christian Heinrich was the fourth-born son, but was the first to survive to adulthood: His two older brothers, Christian Philipp (b. and d. 1653) and Georg Frederick (b. 1657 - d. 1658) died before his own birth, and the third but eldest who survived infancy, Erdmann Philipp, died after falling from his horse in 1678, aged nineteen. His younger brother -and with him, the two only children of his parents who survived to adulthood- Karl August, died unmarried and childless in 1731 aged sixty-eight. Between the older brothers, a short-living sister, Sophie Amalie, was born.
From his father's second marriage with Countess Sophie Marie of Solms-Baruth, Christian Heinrich had a half-brother, Georg Albrecht, who was born three months after the death of his father in 1666.
