Life

Johann Ferdinand, Reichsgraf von Lamberg , Freiherr zu Ortenegg and Ottenstein, Lord zu Stockern and Amerang , owner of the dominions Haindorf am Groß-Kamp in Lower Austria and Kitzbühel in Tyrol , was the penultimate son of the count, later prince, Franz Joseph von Lamberg (- Steyr) (1637–1712) from his marriage to Anna Maria Countess Trautmannsdorf († April 21, 1727).

Intended for a spiritual career, he received a canon position in Passau in 1701, but passed it on to his younger brother Franz Alois in 1709 and became a soldier. In 1714 he was lieutenant colonel and adjutant general to Prince Eugene . In this position he excelled in the Turkish War when Temesvár was captured on October 12, 1716 and brought the surrender to Vienna. After he had quit military service, he transferred to the imperial court service and was court and chamber music director (so-called music count) under Emperor Charles VI from 1732 to 1741 . In 1735 he inherited the Fideikommiss estates in Tyrol from his brother Johann Philipp (including Münichau Castle ). He was Oberstlandjägermeister in Tyrol, a real secret councilor and chamberlain and knight of the Order of St. Wenceslas .

His marriage to the twice widowed Countess Constantia Gilleis (1691–1760) in 1721 resulted in four children, three daughters and a son, Alois Franz Joseph, who died after a year. His nephew, Johann Friedrich Joseph, Prince of Lamberg, son of Prince Franz Anton and Ludowika, Princess of Hohenzollern-Hechingen , inherited him.

He was buried next to his wife in the Lamberg family crypt in the Augustinian Church in Vienna.
