Life

Johann Nepomuk Anton was the first-born son of Josef I. Adam Franz von Schwarzenberg and Maria Theresia (Marie Therese) von und zu Liechtenstein (* December 28, 1721; † January 19, 1753), daughter of Josef I. Johann Adam von Liechtenstein , and 5th Prince of Schwarzenberg. During his short term in office from 1782 to 1789, he devoted himself to the administration and increase of Schwarzenberg's assets and, in contrast to his father and grandfather, lived a very secluded life. He also did not occupy their important position at the Viennese imperial court. After all, he was a KUK Chamberlain and Real Privy Councilor . He was also a coronation ambassador in Rome and Reichswebhofrichter in Rottweil , as well as a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece . He was interested in improving agriculture and forestry. He advocated new, more effective methods of cultivating agricultural fields and had clover and alfalfa grown. Primarily he followed and supported the forestry development in the Bohemian Forest . During his reign, construction began on the Schwarzenberg canal based on designs by Joseph Rosenauer and the construction of the Main crane in Marktbreit after the heavy flood of 1784 .

On July 14, 1768, he married Countess Marie Eleonore zu Oettingen-Wallerstein at Schönbrunn Palace , Vienna (* May 22, 1747; † December 25, 1797). His sons Joseph II. Johann and Karl I. Philipp founded the branches of the Krumau and the Altsatteler line of the Schwarzenberg in 1802 and 1804 respectively .
