Maximilian (Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen)

Maximilian von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (born January 20, 1636 ; † August 13, 1689 in Sigmaringen ) was the third Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen from 1681 to 1689 .

Life

Maximilian was the son of Prince Meinrad I of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (1605–1681) from his marriage to Anna Marie (1613–1682), daughter of Baron Ferdinand von Törring zu Seefeld . The prince was named after Elector Maximilian I of Bavaria . His father was in the Bavarian service when Maximilian was born.

Together with his younger brother Franz Anton he entered the imperial Austrian service and commanded a dragoons regiment. Like members of the Hohenzollern-Hechingen line, he fought for Emperor Leopold I in the 4th Austrian Turkish War . This was followed by a participation in the Dutch War against France, in which he received a command in the Imperial Army on the Rhine. After the Peace of Nijmegen was concluded in 1675 , Maximilian went to Vienna . On January 12, 1666 Maximilian married Maria Clara (1635-1715) in Boxmeer . His wife was the daughter of Count Albert van Berg s'Heerenberg and inherited after the death of her brother Oswald III. 1702 the county s'Heerenberg, which thus fell to the Hohenzollern. The lordships of Boxmeer, Bergh , Diksmuide , Gendringen , Etten , Wisch , Pannerden and Millingen were part of the Dutch heritage .

In 1681 Maximilian became regent of a smaller principality of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. After the death of his father, his brother Franz Anton received the Haigerloch part of the country. Maximilian thus ruled over an area that corresponded to the mere earlier county of Sigmaringen. The prince devoted himself to various building projects in the city of Sigmaringen and at Sigmaringen Castle .
