Marriage and Issue
In Einbeck Franz met Anna Polmann (1505–1557), the daughter of local linen weaver, Barthold Polmann, with whom he lived from 1523/24 in a marriage-like relationship, having eight children with her; four sons and four daughters. Whether or not the couple entered into a proper marriage is unclear, however his children were well looked after and proved in any case that Franz von Waldeck was a caring father. His children were:
- Franz von Waldeck, Jr. (1524– ) who was a clergyman
- Barthold von Waldeck (1536– ) who also was a clergyman
- Phillipp von Waldeck (1538–1605) who was also a clergyman
- Elizabeth Catherina von Waldeck (1540–1579) who married Wernerus Crispinus (1535–1604)
- Johanna von Waldeck (1540–1572)
- Ermegard von Waldeck (1542– )
- Christoph von Waldeck (1543–1587) who married Agnes Pagenstecher (1545–1606)
- Katherina von Waldeck (1544–1597).

Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or issue:
“Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The reason child care is such a loaded issue is that when we talk about it, we are always tacitly talking about motherhood. And when we’re talking about motherhood we’re always tacitly assuming that child care must be a very dim second to full-time mother care.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
