Life

Viktor comes from the Wilkenburg line of the von Alten noble family . He was the son of Lieutenant General Viktor von Alten and his wife Charlotte, née Freiin von Kinsky and Tettau (1775–1842). He was the hereditary lord of Wilkenburg, Stelle and Warmbüchen as well as Haus Leibnitz in Saxony. After the death of his uncle General Carl von Alten in 1840, he inherited the title of count.

He married Hermine von Schminke (1806–1868) in Kassel in 1829, daughter of the Electoral Hessian State Minister Friedrich Christoph von Schminke (1775–1845). Karl von Alten was his son. He also had several daughters:
