After Karl Egon IV fell from his horse on September 22, 1862 in Baden-Baden, his father left the Fürstenberg monument in the form of a pillared hall by Theodor Diebold with a guardian angel by Franz Xaver at the Echo there Build rich.

Karl Egon was brought up by private tutors and already traveled extensively in his youth. From 1872 to 1874 he attended lectures in philosophy and law at the University of Heidelberg , and until 1875 he continued his studies at the University of Strasbourg .

In 1876 he joined the Prussian army as a second lieutenant à la suite of the Guard Hussar Regiment in Potsdam and passed the officer's examination in June 1877.

With the death of his father, the Hereditary Prince became Prince of Fürstenberg on March 15, 1892. In 1893 Emperor Wilhelm II appointed him major and in 1896 colonel marshal.
