He was ruling imperial count from 1798 to 1804 , became ruling imperial prince in 1804 and was mediatized in 1806 and then rank lord of the Kingdom of Württemberg (until 1826) and the Grand Duchy of Baden .

Life

origin

Franz Wilhelm was a member of the Salm-Reifferscheidt (-Bedbur) house, which emerged agnatically from the Reifferscheid family . His parents were the imperial Real treasurer and Electorate of Cologne Oberhofmeister Siegmund Altgraf of Salm-Reifferscheid (t) -Bedbur (g) (1735-1798) and Eleonore Countess of Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach (1735-1804).

Career

Salm-Reifferscheidt began his career in the Prussian army on December 16, 1796 as a lieutenant colonel in the army, i.e. as a titular officer. In 1798 he became the ruling count of Bedbur (g) and Erp . He was promoted to colonel on November 30, 1802 and lost his rule of Bedbur (g) in the same year as a result of the Peace of Lunéville .

According to the provisions of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, he and his family were compensated for the loss of the areas on the left bank of the Rhine through a principality formed from possessions in Mainz and Würzburg . It consisted of the Schöntal Monastery , the Krautheim Oberamt , the Gerlachsheim Priory and the Grünsfeld Office. On January 7, 1804 in Vienna (February 16, 1804) he was raised to the rank of imperial prince , inherited as a primogeniture , which made him the founder of the Salm-Reifferscheidt-Krautheim line . For this princely dignity without Virilstimme a tax of 30,071 fell fl. On. Franz Wilhelm provided the Reich Chancellery with 8,471 fl. 30 kr. in cash and had a debt and pledge deed drawn up for the remaining sum, with an interest rate of 4 percent. He passed the cost of raising his rank to his new principality himself, that is to say to his subjects.

In 1806 he became master hunter in Würzburg . When the formal bankruptcy against Franz Wilhelm was opened on June 6, 1809 , the Vienna Reich Chancellery claimed the remaining debt of the tax for the prince from 1804 in the amount of around 21,600 florins, which is why his son and successor indirectly in 1836 before the court court of Baden in Karlsruhe complained. Since Franz Wilhelm transferred the costs of the increase in status to his land in 1804, in his opinion it was not due to him, but to the principality of Krautheim. As the sovereignty over it came to Baden and Württemberg through its mediatization in 1806, these states were the legal successors of the Imperial Principality of Salm-Krautheim, who would also have to bear the costs of the increase. The Fürst zu Salm case against the grand ducal treasury was negotiated in 1836 at the Baden court court in Karlsruhe under the title "Are costs that arise from the elevation of a former county to a direct imperial principality to be regarded as state debts according to the imperial laws?" Baden argues that although the Krautheim subjects did not object to the increase in rank, they were not even asked and they did not benefit from the fact that their then new sovereign had become prince. And finally, if someone couldn't afford the cost of upgrading, he should have been content with his old class.

Franz Wilhelm continued his officer career on October 2, 1815 as head of the Rhenish Landwehr Regiment. On March 30, 1818, he moved in the same position to the 1st Düsseldorf Landwehr Regiment and finally became Chief of the 2nd Combined Reserve Landwehr Regiment on March 26, 1820. On 15 June 1822 he is with the character of major general from active service excreted .

Salm-Reifferscheidt was a knight of the Bavarian Order of St. Hubertus , holder of the Grand Cross of the Tuscan Order of St. Joseph and the Württemberg Order of the Golden Eagle . In 1826 he sold the goods located in the Oberamt Künzelsau under Württemberg sovereignty for 125,000 guilders , part of his rule in Krautheim, to the Kingdom of Württemberg, where he resigned from the First Chamber of the Estates . Since he retained the part of the principality of Krautheim that was under Baden sovereignty, he retained the status of Baden registrar.

family

Franz Wilhelm married Franziska Princess von Hohenlohe-Bartenstein (1770–1812) for the first time in 1796 . He went into a second marriage in 1818 with Marianne Dorothea Fürstin von Galitzin (1769-1823), a daughter of Amalie von Gallitzin .

Several children were born in the first marriage:

  • Ludwig Karl zu Salm-Reifferscheidt (-Bedbur) (1797–1797)
  • Konstantin Dominik Franz Prince and old count zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Krautheim (1798–1856), adjutant of the Grand Duke of Baden, succeeded his father as prince in 1831, ⚭ 1826 Princess Charlotte zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein-Jagstberg (1807–1873), daughter of Prince Karl Joseph and Henriette geb. Princess of Württemberg . In 1839, Prince Konstantin also sold the part of the princely estate of the Principality of Salm-Krautheim, which remained under the sovereignty of the state of Baden after the sale of the Württemberg part by Franz Wilhelm in 1826, for 1,103,976 guilders to the Grand Duchy of Baden for debt repayment, which wasestablished in 1839 from the remaining sales proceeds as well as the manor (lordship) with Hersberg Castle on Lake Constance, which waspurchased in the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1838, becamea family affide by law . In the Grand Duchy of Baden he was now a noble personalist .
  • Eleanore Princess and Former Countess zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Krautheim (1799–1851) ⚭ Victor Amadeus Landgrave of Hesse-Rheinfels-Rotenburg
  • Karl Borromäus zu Salm-Reifferscheidt (-Bedbur) (1801–1802)
  • Kottialtis Luise Polyxena zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Krautheim (1802–1818)
  • Karl Joseph Ernst Maria Guido Prince and former count zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Krautheim (1803–1864), Prussian major, ⚭ 1841 morganatic Thekla Strobel (1818–1878), daughter of the Baden court cook Franz Xaver Strobel from Salem (Baden) and Marie born . Grünwald from Karlsruhe . The wife is given the name Roesdorff-Salm and the children from the marriage the name Roesdorff . Prince Karl later asked the Grand Duke of Baden to elevate his children to the Baden nobility and to increase their name in Roesdorff-Salm . The latter is granted, but only the son Hermann Roesdorff-Salm receives the Liechtenstein noble and baron status as von Roesdorff as a Prussian lieutenant in Vienna in 1872 . In Prussia this ennoblement was initially not recognized, unlike in Baden. And so, on April 2, 1896 , Lieutenant Colonel Hermann Roesdorff-Salm , who was in Prussian service, took office in Greven without any nobility particles. However, a nobility law report was drawn up and the genealogy of the von Roesdorff family was included in the baronial part of the Gotha Genealogical Pocket Book as early as 1875 .
  • Leopoldine Josephine Christiane Polyxena Princess and former countess zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Krautheim (1805–1878) ⚭ Hugo Karl Eduard Fürst and former count zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Raitz (1803–1888), son of Hugo Franz Altgraf zu Salm-Reifferscheidt- Raitz.
  • Maria Creszentia Polyxena Princess and Former Countess of Salm-Reifferscheidt-Krautheim (1806–1878)

Prince Franz Wilhelm's youngest brother, former count Franz Joseph Anton zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Krautheim (1778–1851), was a canon of Cologne. He had two legitimate sons born out of wedlock with Apollonia Isabelle Muck (1786–1848): Karl (1809–1836) and Ludwig Ernst August (1819–1885). In 1827 they were given the Baden nobility as von Krutheim by the sovereign of the Krautheim dynasty, Grand Duke Ludwig I , in Karlsruhe .
