The Australian city named after a German princess is Brisbane. It was named in honor of Sir Thomas Brisbane, who was the Governor of New South Wales from 1821 to 1825. The name "Brisbane" itself is derived from the surname of the governor, but the city is indirectly linked to Princess Wilhelmina, a German princess, through the historical context of European colonization and naming practices of the time.
