Destined for the church at a very young age, Albert was made canon of Magdeburg Cathedral in 1392. Five years later, in 1396, the brothers Sigismund and Albert decided to settle on a formal division of the principality of Anhalt-Zerbst. As ``Lord of K*then,'' Albert took possession of the town of K*then as his main residence and capital of his newly-created principality.
