Princess Philippina Charlotte of Prussia Philippina Charlotte of Prussia (Berlin, March 13, 1716 - Brunswick, February 17, 1801) was a daughter of Frederik Willem I of Prussia and Sophia Dorothea of ​​Hanover and thus a sister of Frederik the Great.

She loved German literature, unlike her brother, but with him she shared the love for the music and she composed. From her we know a 1780 Marche script, which is regarded as one of the oldest known march scores. Later she also wrote two marches for harmony (Harmoniemusik), Mars (1751) for trumpet, 2 lobos and bassoon and the Regiment march for 2 lobos, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons and trumpet.

She married in 1833 with Karel van Brunswijk-Wolfenbüttel. The couple got thirteen children:
