Life

At the age of 22, Friedrich von Waldburg-Wolfegg-Waldsee began studying forest sciences at the Political Science Faculty of the University of Tübingen in 1884, which he gave up after a year. As the eldest son of the family, to the delight of his mother and after consultation with his uncle, Domkapitular August Wolfegg, he entered the Jesuit order in 1887, i.e. in the same year that Countess Marie made her final decision to live in the monastery. At an early age, Friedrich was on the way to fulfilling his mother's greatest wish: to have a priest for her son.

Friedrich Waldburg-Wolfegg received his training as a novice, which began in 1887, in Blyenbeck / Holland , where he was called 'Carissimus der Waldburg'. His superiors wrote about him: "All his endeavors were aimed at being and appearing like everyone else: a good member of the Society of Jesus." He studied philosophy and theology in Ditton Hall / England . The celebration of his primacy took place in the castle courtyard of Wolfegg in 1894 , more than 5000 people are said to have participated.
