Life
Origin and family
His father was Freiherr Johann Baptist von Buol-Schauenstein (1729–1797), Canon of Chur and imperial envoy to the Three Leagues; his mother, whose wife Johanna (1732–1791) geb. from Sarentheim. Johann Rudolf's older brother was Karl Rudolf von Buol-Schauenstein (1760–1833), Prince-Bishop of Chur and St. Gallen.
Johann Rudolf married on August 18, 1795 Maria Anna Alexandrine geb. von Lerchenfeld-Köfering , a daughter of Count Philipp von Lerchenfeld-Prennberg . Their children include three daughters and the future statesman Karl Ferdinand von Buol-Schauenstein (1797–1865). In 1802 Buol-Schauenstein was raised to the status of Austrian count.
Professional career
Buol-Schauenstein began his career in the diplomatic service as Austrian embassy secretary in Mainz (1789), then charge d'affaires in The Hague (1790). As the successor of his father, he became 1792 Austrian ambassador to the Swiss Confederation and the Three Leagues in Basel , then in 1794 imperial Direktorialgesandter the everlasting Reichstag in Regensburg and 1795 imperial envoy in Lower Saxony Circle and the three free Hanseatic cities in Hamburg . In 1801 he was appointed imperial ambassador to the Bavarian court in Munich , but here he misinterpreted the Bavarian position on France and Austria. After the outbreak of the Napoleonic Wars , he was transferred to less significant offices, including a. as envoy or minister in smaller states of the Rhine Confederation .
Under Foreign Minister Klemens von Metternich , he was appointed envoy in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany towards the end of the Wars of Liberation (1814), and the following year in the Electorate of Hesse-Kassel . As the successor to Franz Joseph von Albini , Buol-Schauenstein was appointed presidential envoy to the German Confederation in Frankfurt am Main in December 1815 , and in November 1816 he led the opening of the German Bundestag . Partly out of personal opportunism, and partly out of diplomatic or political inexperience and clumsiness, he was not up to the demands of this office and Metternich had him replaced by Joachim Eduard von Münch-Bellinghausen in 1823 . Until 1833 he served as president of the kk court commission.
