from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes Friedrich Michael Karl Maria Prince of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein and Jagstberg (born August 20, 1863 at Bartenstein Castle , † August 19, 1921 there ) was a German officer and registrar of the Kingdom of Württemberg .

Life

He was born the son of Prince Karl zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein (1837–1877) and Rosa, born Countess von Sternberg (1836–1918) and had two siblings. He spent his youth in Vienna and attended high school there . He then studied political science at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen . In 1887 he became a corps loop bearer of the Corps Suevia Tübingen . In April 1888 he entered the officer's career in the Württemberg Army . Until 1915 he rose to the rank of colonel of the Uhlan regiment "King Karl" (1st Württemberg) No. 19 . He also held high military ranks in the Bavarian Army and in the Saxon Army . During the First World War he was a stage delegate for voluntary nursing in the army department under Infantry General Ludwig von Falkenhausen .

When his father died in 1877, Prince Johannes became head of the House of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein , combined with a mandate in the chamber of the landlords of the state estates in Stuttgart . Because of his minority he was initially unable to exercise the mandate himself and was represented there by his uncle, Prince Albert. In 1886 he entered the Chamber personally and remained there as a registrar until 1918. From 1911 to 1918 he was President of this so-called First Chamber of the Württemberg State Estates. Prince Johann was also a hereditary member in the Chamber of Imperial Councils of the Crown of Bavaria .

In addition to his military service and his public offices, Johannes administered the princely family property. With the death of his uncle Prince Albert zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein-Jagstberg in 1898 he was able to reunite the Jagstberg and Niederstetten rulers with his main line of Bartenstein.

In 1896 Johannes zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein was awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of the Württemberg Crown . He was also a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece , the House Order of the Rautenkrone and the Order of St. George .

  4. ↑ a b Article 109 of the Weimar Imperial Constitution (WRV) of August 11, 1919 stipulated that the public law privileges of birth or status were to be abolished and that nobility designations could no longer be awarded. At the same time, the previous nobility names were declared part of the civil family name. In the case of the House of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein , all members have since then been given the civil and legal surname Prinz or Princess zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein . In this article, however, for a better understanding of who is the head of the other family lines, the historical nobility title of Prince is used, as it is still practiced today in the corresponding noble families in Primogenitur . In the present case, the family also transferred the title of prince to the second son, because the latter linked to the historical Hohenlohe-Jagstberg line .
