from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dominik Marquard zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort (born November 7, 1690 in Wertheim ; † March 11, 1735 in Venice ) was the second prince of the Löwenstein family .

origin

Dominik Marquard was the ninth child of Prince Maximilian Karl and his wife Polyxena Maria, a born Countess Khuen von Lichtenberg and Belasi.

Since his older brother Maximilian Karl had already died in 1710 at the age of 29, single and without descendants, Dominik was already Hereditary Prince at that time.

Reign

In December 1718, Dominik Marquard succeeded his father as prince after the death of his father and subsequently acquired various other properties that were to influence the history of the Löwenstein-Wertheim family, such as B. 1720 in Bohemia the Haid lordship including the castle, 1721 the market town of Kleinheubach owned by the Counts of Erbach and 1730 the Rosenberg lordship in Baden , which was named after the prince of the Protestant line at the beginning of the 19th century for the Catholic line. In Kleinheubach he had the large-scale and representative Löwenstein Castle built based on the French model .

  • Haid Castle, Bohemia

  • Löwenstein Castle

His wife died on July 17, 1728 at the age of 40 as a result of a stillbirth. Dominik Marquard died ten years later in Venice, where he attended the carnival incognito. He was buried at the place where he died; however, his heart was transferred to the crypt of the collegiate church in Wertheim . According to legend, he was murdered with a glass dagger.

successor

Prince Dominik Marquard's successor was his eldest son, Prince Karl Thomas zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort (1714–1789). Since Karl Thomas died in 1789 after more than fifty years of rule without a legitimate heir, he was succeeded by his nephew Dominik Constantin (1762-1814), son of Karl Thomas' younger brother Theodor Alexander (1722-1780).
