Life

Friedrich I. zu Leiningen-Westerburg-Altleiningen was the son of Count Christian Johann zu Leiningen-Westerburg-Altleiningen (1730-1770) and his wife Christiane Franziska Eleonore Wildgräfin and Rhine Countess Salm-Grumbach (1735-1809).

Friedrich I. zu Leiningen-Westerburg-Altleiningen married on September 24, 1792, divorced in 1798, first marriage Charlotte Bernhardine Wilhelmine Christine von Zech zu Rautenberg (1777–1841), the daughter of Friedrich von Zach zu Rautenberg. The marriage was divorced in 1798 due to childlessness. In his second marriage on February 7, 1813, he married Eleonore Maria Magdalena Breitwieser (1781–1841) from Assenheim (1816 Grand Ducal Hessian nobility as "Frau von Brettwitz"), the daughter of Johann Heinrich Breitwieser. Three sons and three daughters were born in wedlock, two sons were legitimized by marriage.

After the death of his father, Friedrich's older brother Christian Karl zu Leiningen-Westerburg-Altleiningen became the ruling count. The holdings of the Counts of Leiningen-Westerburg-Altleiningen and Leiningen-Westerburg-Neuleiningen on the left bank of the Rhine were incorporated into the French state in the wake of the French Revolution in 1793, and the two Counts of Altleiningen and Neuleiningen were temporarily imprisoned in Paris. They were compensated in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803 with the former abbeys of Ilbenstadt and Engelthal in the Wetterau . In 1806 their estates were incorporated into the Grand Duchies of Berg and Hessen-Darmstadt and the Principality of Nassau-Weilburg and Nassau-Usingen .

However, as noblemen, the counts retained a number of privileges, including a hereditary mandate in the first chamber of the estates of the Grand Duchy of Hesse . With the death of his brother in 1811, Friedrich I became a registrar. He was therefore formally a member of the first chamber in 1820 until his death in 1837, but never formally joined it.

After his death, his eldest son, Friedrich II. Count of Leiningen-Westerburg-Altleiningen (1806–1868), succeeded him as a registrar and member of parliament. After his death, his youngest son, Viktor Graf zu Leiningen-Westerburg-Altleiningen, took over the job of the landlord. Another son Karl August (1819–1849) died on the gallows as a Hungarian freedom fighter.
