ancestry
The Württemberg family Varnbuler descends from the diplomat Johann Konrad Varnbuler (1595–1657). Ferdinand Varnbuler was the son of Karl Friedrich Gottlob Freiherr Varnbuler von und zu Hemmingen (1746–1818), who was last lieutenant general of the royal Württemberg . Varnbüler's mother was called Karoline Elisabeth Ernestine and was born in Reischach (1746–1789). Varnbüler had a younger brother Karl Eberhard Friedrich , who was finance minister of the Kingdom of Württemberg.
Life
Ferdinand Varnbüler enjoyed private tuition in his parents' house until 1789, before he and his younger brother were trained at the Hohen Karlsschule from 1789 to 1792 . In August 1792 he became a second lieutenant in the Württemberg Army . In 1797 he became a captain in the quartermaster staff, in 1801 a major, in 1803 a lieutenant colonel, in 1804 a colonel and lieutenant general. In 1805 he was appointed chief of staff of the Württemberg troop corps. After a dispute with King Friedrich , he said goodbye in 1806 and tried his hand at farming. He didn't have much success with this, however. From 1813 to 1815 he served as a colonel in the Austrian general staff. When King Friedrich offered him a return to Württemberg service in 1815, he agreed. Ferdinand Varnbüler was then appointed Royal Württemberg Adjudant General and Major General.
