Life
He studied in Landshut , Freiburg and Heidelberg and was a dragoon officer in the Baden military service from 1821–1825 . After that, the nobleman continued his education in France and Italy, but lived largely as a private citizen.

From 1848 onwards, he was an activist of the Catholic associations , and his popular eloquence made him play an important role, especially at Catholic meetings. In correspondence, pamphlets and articles he promoted the establishment of a "free Catholic university". In 1850, 1861 and 1865 Andlaw-Birseck acted as President of the German Catholic Convention . In 1865 he was one of the founding members of the Baden Catholic People's Party . After an unsuccessful political attack against Interior Minister August Lamey because of the new School Supervision Act , the nobleman resigned from the Chamber of Estates in 1866.
He died March 3, 1871 on his Hugstetten estate near Freiburg.
