Franz Karl Anton von Hohenems
Franz Karl Anton von Hohenems (born August 1, 1650 - March 16, 1713 ) was a count from the noble family of the Lords of Ems .
Franz Karl Anton von Hohenems was the eldest son of Karl Friedrich Graf von Hohenems (1622–1675) and his wife Cornelia Lucia di Altemps († 1691). In 1678 he married Franziska Schmidlin von Lebenfeld († 1728), the daughter of his head nurse. The marriage on the left hand remained childless.
During his reign, the Hohenems fortress and rule were placed under imperial administration. In 1687 the count had to flee from his rule from his creditors to Heerbrugg in nearby Switzerland , where the Lords of Hohenems had the lower jurisdiction. Like the rule of his cousin Ferdinand Karl von Hohenems in today's Liechtenstein , his rule is said to be corruption, mismanagement and waste. He litigated witches and wealthy subjects and confiscated the property of the convicted. In 1679 a complaint was filed against the count with the government in Innsbruck, which was forwarded to the imperial councilor in Vienna. The prosecution was supported by parts of his own family, such as his cousin Jakob Hannibal III. von Hohenems and Franz Wilhelm II. von Hohenems , to whom he owed maintenance payments. In 1688 Franz Karl Anton von Hohenems was removed from the government of Hohenems and Lustenau. His cousin Franz Wilhelm II took over the rule, but he died in 1691 during an imperial campaign in Serbia. In 1693 the area was placed under compulsory administration. The prince abbot of Kempten took over the rule .
