Count of Ysenburg-Philippseich and descendants
On January 5, 1920, Count Karl Ferdinand (* 1841), the last Count of Ysenburg-Philippseich, died on Philippseich. He was inherited by the Prince of Isenburg zu Birstein .
Karl Ferdinand's cousin, Count Ferdinand zu Ysenburg-Philippseich (1832–1893), founded the line of the Counts of Büdingen . In April 1868, he had not befitting from Weimar originating Melanie Horrocks (1845-1928), daughter of emigrants from Great Britain John Horrocks married. On February 19, 1888, she was awarded the title Countess of Büdingen by the Grand Duke of Hesse .
In addition to the Counts of Büdingen , the line of the Counts of Ysenburg-Philippseich still exists today . It goes back to the royal Bavarian lieutenant general Count Georg August zu Ysenburg-Philippseich (1741-1822), the youngest son of Count Wilhelm Moritz II, and his morganatic wife Therese Burkart (1755-1817). While the descendants of this marriage were denied recognition as “equal” by the Isenburg family , they were recognized as counts in Bavaria .
