George, Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe (10 October 1846 – 29 April 1911) was the ruler of the small Principality of Schaumburg-Lippe within the German Empire from 1893 to 1911, succeeding his father Adolf I, and being succeeded by his son Adolf II.
Stephan Albrecht Georg was born at Bückeburg Castle [de], in Bückeburg, Principality of Schaumburg-Lippe as the eldest of four sons to Adolphus I, Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe and Princess Hermine of Waldeck and Pyrmont (1827–1910).
They had nine children: On the occasion of their silver wedding anniversary in 1907, Emperor Wilhelm II presented to Georg and Marie Anne the family ancestral seat, Schaumburg Castle.
[1] The castle had been controlled by the Hohenzollerns ever since Georg's grandfather sided with the Austrians in the 1866 Austro-Prussian War.
[1] The gift was also meant to be in recognition of Georg's support in the dispute over the succession to the Lippe-Detmold throne.
