Anna was the daughter of Prince Henry LXIII, Prince Reuss of Köstritz (1786–1841) and his second wife Countess Caroline of Stolberg-Wernigerode (1806–1896).
Anna spent her childhood at Staniszów Castle in Silesia. His political rise allowed a major expansion of Wernigerode Castle, which lasted from 1862 to 1893. The castle was restructured in a historicistic style.
Anna was creatively involved in this endeavour.
Anna also wrote numerous plays and poems. The best known among these are "Jagd am Hubertustag" and "Holtemme".
