Erwin von Neipperg
Erwin Franz Ludwig Bernhard Ernst, Count and Lord von Neipperg (born April 6, 1813 in Schwaigern , Württemberg ; † March 2, 1897 there ) was an Austrian general of the cavalry .
Life
He was a son of General Adam Albert von Neipperg (1775-1829) from his first marriage to Theresa Countess Pola de Treviso. While his descendants from his second marriage with Marie-Louise of Austria formed the side branch of the Counts of Montenuovo , the lineage of the Counts of Neipperg went to the children from his first marriage, and thus above all to Erwin's older brother Alfred von Neipperg (1807-1865) . Since Alfred remained childless and fell ill, and two other brothers had died by 1850, Erwin von Neipperg took over some of the family property in the 1850s that would come to him after his brother's death. In 1865 he became a hereditary member of the Württemberg Chamber of Notaries . He had represented his brother Alfred there since 1856.
Like his brothers and several of his ancestors, he had embarked on an Austrian military career, attended the engineering school in Vienna and in 1863 was Lieutenant Field Marshal in Ödenburg. In 1866 he became the commandant of troops in the Austrian VIII Federal Army Corps, with whom he lost the battle near Aschaffenburg on July 14, 1866 . Afterwards he was commandant in Pressburg, later in Vienna. In 1873 he became a member of the Order of the Golden Fleece . In 1878 he resigned from the military in order to be able to devote himself to the property at the Schwaigern headquarters in the future.
family
His first marriage was to Henriette von Waldstein († 1845) and his second marriage to Maria Rosa von Lobkowitz († 1905). Both wives came from the circle of the Viennese court nobility. The second marriage had two daughters and a son: Bertha (1857–1932) married again into the Lobkowitz family, Hedwig (1859–1916) married Franz-Xaver von Königsegg-Aulendorf, son Reinhard von Neipperg (1856–1919) followed Father in the lineage and in several offices.
