Princess Louise of Prussia (Luise Auguste Wilhelmine Amalie; 1 February 1808 – 6 December 1870) was a princess of the Netherlands as the wife of Prince Frederick. She was born the penultimate child of King Frederick William III of Prussia and Queen Louise. Although Princess Louise played a minor role in royal society, she helped establish the Luisestiftelsen—a charity organisation built for orphans—and pitched ideas for the construction of a residential home in Passow.
