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:
“The best friend will probably get the best spouse, because a good marriage is based on the talent for friendship.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Life’s so short, Katie. You have to make every moment count. It’s not easy to do, you know. I don’t think that a day goes by when I don’t turn my back on some small thing or some issue somewhere. But it’s so short, Katie. If you’re not careful, the days go by and all you have time for is regret.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
