history

origin

The noble lords of Fürstenbusch zu Gasseneck and Aueck (Auegg) belonged to the oldest nobility in the Duchy of Jülich, originally from North Brabant. According to Kneschke, the later Counts of Fürstenbusch could also be unequal descendants of Elector Philipp Wilhelm von der Pfalz (* 1615 - † 1690), because according to some , the Counts of Fürstenbusch came from the family of those of Fürstenbusch zu Gasseneck and Aueck (Auegg), which belonged to the old nobility of the Duchy of Jülich, but Ledebur states that this assumption is unfounded. As Kneschke writes, the brothers Rüdiger Goswin, Franz Gottfried and Johann Daniel von Fürstenbusch, recommended by Elector Philipp Wilhelm (presumably his descendants on the left hand ) , came to Ledebur from Wasserburg to the imperial court and in 1690 received a diploma of recognition for their due Aristocracy and in 1715 the Hungarian indigenous community . ( Erbländisch-Austrian nobility ; confirmation diploma of the same from 1702 for Rüdiger Goswin von Fürstenbusch, with the predicate : "Edler zu Gassenegg und Auegg" ).

Lines and personalities

Emperor Leopold I transferred the entire family to the old rulership of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1707 , and Emperor Charles VI. attached to him the bohemian count. The first count was the Imperial General Feldzeugmeister and real Court War Councilor Johann Daniel Freiherr von Fürstenbusch, supposedly born in Vienna . He had served in the imperial army since 1700, took part in the campaigns in northern Italy from 1733 to 1735 and was named with distinction. On November 12, 1733, he was appointed General Field Sergeant and on May 23, 1734 , Lieutenant Field Marshal . He was formerly in command of the Maximilian Graf von Starhemberg Regiment , then in command of the Imperial 13th Infantry Regiment, which was named after him. He had proved himself successfully in the battles in Italy, which is why the emperor raised him to the bohemian count and accepted him among his real court war councils. On June 20, 1736 he was raised to the rank of count. He died on December 19, 1758. His grandson, Count Franz Ludwig von Fürstenbusch (born August 25, 1759) was councilor of the Galician court chancellery in 1797 , then Lemberger councilor and in 1824 kk real chamberlain and vice-president of Lower Austria . The Austrian line of the count expired with his younger brother, Count Karl Vincenz (* March 4, 1767), kk Registraturdirectionsadjunct at the highest judicial office in Vienna, on March 10, 1837 in Prague in the male line. He and his wife, Franziska Freiin von Fleischmann, had fathered the daughter Karoline Walpurga (* 1803), who had been married to Count Karl Theodor von Heusenstamm zu Heissenstein and Graefenhausen (* 1795), Imperial Councilor, since 1822 . However, the marriage that resulted in a son was divorced in 1832. On April 1, 1835, the widow of Count Johann Nepomuk von Froberg-Montjoye (* 1763; † 1814), Eleonora Laura, née Countess von Fürstenbusch, sold her Ranshofen estate to her son-in-law, Baron Friedrich von Bernhard , for 53,856 guilders , who sold it to his mother, Johanna Elisabeth Freifrau von Bernhard, née von Kiesow, in 1848.
