Heinrich XXXIX. (Reuss-Köstritz)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prince Heinrich XXXIX. Reuss zu Köstritz (born June 23, 1891 in Ernstbrunn , Lower Austria , † February 24, 1946 in Salzburg ) was a German nobleman. From 1910 he was the eighth and last paraglider of Reuss-Köstritz .

Life

Heinrich XXXIX. came from the non-ruling branch line Reuss-Köstritz from the younger line of the old, widely ramified German noble family of the Reuss . His parents were the composer Prince Heinrich XXIV. Reuss zu Köstritz (1855-1910) and Princess Elisabeth Reuss zu Köstritz (1860-1931). He married on August 7, 1918 in Castell Antonia Emma Elisabeth, born Countess zu Castell-Castell (born April 18, 1896 in Castell, † May 4, 1971 in Ernstbrunn), the daughter of Prince Friedrich Carl zu Castell-Castell .

He studied political science and law and completed his studies with a doctorate. Since October 2, 1910, he was the heir of his father's owner of the Paragium Reuss-Köstritz. He renounced the associated prince title. Associated with this was a virile vote in the Reuss younger line of parliament : from December 5, 1912 to February 12, 1919, he was a member of the parliament. The entry into the state parliament led to protests because the prince was not yet 25 years old. The mandate was sanctioned by a decision of the parliament on December 5, 1912. He was also the owner of the family entails Ernstbrunn and Hagenberg in Lower Austria.

He was a member of the Masonic lodge "Archimedes for the Eternal Covenant" in Gera .
