From 1901 to 1918 he was a member of the Saxon state parliament . He was the last count of Seifersdorf near Radeberg . From 1909 he was entrusted to Groß Strehlitz (Upper Silesia).
He was entitled: Imperial German Legation Secretary a. D., Royal Prussian Rittmeister a. D., bearer of the Order of St. John.
Life
Karl von Brühl-Renard had no children in either marriage. Throughout his life he showed a high level of social commitment together with his first Else and his second wife Agnes. In 1886, Count Brühl financed the construction of a complete new poor house in Seifersdorf for 4,700 marks for the local poor.
From 1887, Karl von Brühl-Renard headed the first German children's recreation home, the Bethlehemstift in the Berghaus des Augustusbad , which was founded in 1875 by Hugo Woldemar Hickmann together with doctors from Dresden and the Inner Mission . In 1900 von Brühl bought the country house of the Radeberg manufacturer Rumpelt with the associated park and had a children's house built, which was named "Graf-Brühl-Haus" in 1925 and was in operation until 1945.
At Christmas 1888, the counts of the Brühl family invited poor residents and children to their castle for a "pre-Christmas celebration".
From 1889 to 1923 he was chairman of the board of directors of the Kleinwachau epileptic institution, which was founded on the initiative of the Inner Mission of Saxony. There he was responsible for the admission and discharge of the foster people, the employment of the nursing staff and the supervision of the entire operation.
From 1901 to 1918 he was a member of the First Chamber of the Estates Assembly of the Kingdom of Saxony , the Saxon State Parliament.
Von Brühl-Renard inherited the Seifersdorf moated castle , which his grandfather Carl von Brühl had rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style in 1818 with the help of the famous Prussian master builder Karl Friedrich Schinkel . From 1880 he had major modifications made to the manor and castle in Seifersdorf. The former castle brewery in the castle park was demolished in the 1870s. The palace park was redesigned and enlarged by Max Bertram to the present day complex. In the castle itself, the theater hall was expanded in favor of servants' apartments. Wooden coffered and stucco ceilings were installed on the 1st floor.
In 1909, after the death of his cousin Mortimer von Tschirschky-Renard , he took over the Fideikommiss Groß Strehlitz . During this time he also acquired the property in Kalinow (812ha). From then on it was part of the property of the Fideikommissherrschaft Groß Strehlitz with a total of 6561 hectares.
The manor Dollna, the manor Nieder-Ellguth, the manor Groß-Vorwerk with the Vorwerk Schewkowitz, Gollaschützen, Koczorowna and the manor Neudorf, the manor Himmelwitz with the Vorwerk Gonschiorowitz and Wernerau belonged to the Graf Renardschen Güter-Direktion (Fideikommiß Groß Strehlitz ). the Kobelwitz manor in the Cosel district, the Olschowa manor with the Xionslas, Komorniken and Johannishof farms, the Poremba manor, the Rogau manor with the Krenzel farm, the Allodial Rosniontau manor with the Railshof farm, the Salesche manor with the Oberhof farm, Niederhof, Mittelhof and Wiesenhof, the Scharnosin manor with the Annahof farm, the Schironowitz manor, the Sucholohna manor with Mokrolohna and Brezina with the Gruschek farm.
He carried the name Brühl-Renard when he took over the Fideikommiss Groß Strehlitz . This was determined by grandfather Andreas Maria von Renard . Karl did not leave any children behind, so he would have liked to see his nephew Wolfgang zu Castell-Castell inherit the property.
But it turned out differently. Georg Graf von Schlieffen, Karl von Brühl-Renard's half-brother, inherited the Groß Strehlitz estate after his death in 1923. Georg Graf von Schlieffen also bore the name Renard with the inheritance. In 1932 he transferred Groß Strehlitz to Count Wolfgang zu Castell Castell, the son of his half-sister Elisabeth.
He was a member of the local military club and the Seifersdorf gymnastics club.
