Princess Ida, born on 10 March 1804 at Schaumburg Castle, was the fourth and youngest daughter of Victor II, Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym, and of Princess Amelia of Nassau-Weilburg.

Ida had three older sisters: Hermine, Adelheid, and Emma.

He was the eldest son of Peter, Reigning Duke of Oldenburg, and had previously been married to Ida's older sister Adelheid.

Just like her sister, Princess Ida died after three years of marriage, in 1828.

The settlement Idafehn in East Frisia in Lower Saxony, Germany is named after Princess Ida.
