Kurt Riedesel was the son of Hereditary Marshal Volprecht IV. Riedesel zu Eisenbach (1578-1632) and his first wife Sidonie von Dörnberg (born July 13, 1578 in Hausen ; † July 8, 1824 in Treysa ).
Kurt Riedesel had the sisters Anna (1602-1625) and Anna Catharina (1612-1665) and the half-brother from his second marriage Wilhelm Georg (1627-1667) and the half-sister Apollonia (* 1629).
