Anthony Ulrich was the second son of Ferdinand Albert II, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. His mother's sister Elizabeth, wife of Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor, arranged for his marriage to Elizabeth Caroline Christine, daughter of Charles Leopold, Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and granddaughter of Tsar Ivan V of Russia, in 1739.
