Prince Joseph Franz Karl von Lobkowicz (17 February 1803 – 18 March 1875) was an Austrian nobleman who served as Head of Household of the Empress Elisabeth of Austria.

Early life

Prince Joseph Franz was born 17 February 1803 in Vienna. He was a youngers son, of twelve children, born to Joseph Franz, 7th Prince of Lobkowitz (1772–1816) and Princess Maria Karolina von Schwarzenberg (1775–1816).[1]

His paternal grandparents were Ferdinand Philipp, 6th Prince Lobkowicz (son of Phillip Hyacinth, 4th Prince of Lobkowicz) and Princess Maria Gabriella di Savoia-Carignano (a daughter of Louis Victor, Prince of Carignano and Princess Christine of Hesse-Rotenburg).[2] [3] His maternal grandparents were and Countess Maria Eleonore zu Oettingen-Wallerstein (a daughter of Count Philipp Karl von Oettingen-Wallerstein). His maternal uncle was Joseph II, Prince of Schwarzenberg.[4]

Career

Upon the death of his father in 1816, his elder brother, Ferdinand Joseph, became the 8th Prince of Lobkowitz, however, the family's Imperial immediacy over Princely county of Störnstein in the Holy Roman Empire had been mediatized to Bavaria in 1807.[5] As he was just one of many sons, the family estates were divided amongst the brothers, thereby creating several new subsidiary lines with Prince Johann Nepomuk founding the line of Křinice, Prince Ludwig Johann founding a line in Hungary, and Prince Karl Johann serving as Governor of Lower Austria, Moravia, and of Tyrol.[5]

Prince Joseph Franz, who served as Head of Household of the Empress Elisabeth founded the line of Dolní Beřkovice near the old Lobkowicz land in north-central Bohemia, located on the Elbe river.[6] His seat, Dolní Beřkovice Castle, was rebuilt in the mid-19th century.[5]

Personal life

Prince Joseph Franz married Countess Antonie Kinsky von Wchinitz und Tettau (1815–1835), a daughter of Count Karl Kinsky von Wchinitz und Tettau and Countess Elisabeth von Thun und Hohenstein. She died in Pardubice in 1835.[7]

After her death, he married Princess Maria "Sidonia" von Lobkovicz (1828–1917), a daughter of Prince August von Lobkowicz and Princess Bertha of Schwarzenberg (a first cousin of Prince Joseph Franz as her father, Joseph II, Prince of Schwarzenberg, was his mother's brother).[8] Together, they were the parents of:

Prince Joseph Franz died on 18 March 1875 in Prague.[16]

Descendants

Through his son, Prince Georg Ferdinand, he was a grandfather of Prince Edouard Josef von Lobkowicz (1899–1959),[18] who married American heiress Anita Lihme;[19] they were the parents of Prince Edouard de Lobkowicz (1926–2010), who married Princess Marie-Françoise of Bourbon-Parma, the eldest daughter of Prince Xavier of Bourbon-Parma and of his wife, Madeleine de Bourbon-Busset.[20] [21] Their first son, Prince Edouard-Xavier de Lobkowicz, was found dead in Paris in 1984.[22]
