Duke Sylvius Friedrich married Eleonore Charlotte (*1656; †1743), daughter of Duke George II of Württemberg-Mömpelgard, on May 7, 1672, in Oels. The marriage remained childless, and Sylvius Friedrich died in 1697 without leaving an heir. By order of Sylvius Friedrich's mother, Oels passed to her next youngest son, Christian Ulrich I.
