August Friedrich Oswald Freiherr von Fabrice (born January 8, 1820 in Bonn , † June 3, 1898 in Munich ) was a senior Saxon civil servant.

Life

Oswald Freiherr von Fabrice entered the Saxon service in 1852 and rose to the Royal Saxon Secret Council, in 1869 as envoy in London and in 1874 as extraordinary envoy of Saxony in Munich . His brother Alfred von Fabrice was long-time Minister of War of the Kingdom of Saxony.

origin

He comes from the Hessian counts Fabricius, who were ennobled in three main lines and at the end of the 17th century, instead of Schmidt, mostly adopted the Romanized name form "von Fabrice". The progenitor is Weyprecht Schmidt called Fabricius (1551-1610). Oswald von Fabrice himself (later Freiherr) was a son of the Saxon major Friedrich Joseph Anton von Fabrice (1786–1850), who remained in France as part of the occupation army after the victory over Napoleon. His mother was Charlotte Luise von Weißenbach (1798–1855). Other sons were the older Alfred von Fabrice (1818-1891) and the younger Bernhard von Fabrice (1827-1866), who married Countess Ida von Schönburg-Glauchau and Waldenburg.

family

At 24, Oswald married on January 4, 1844 in Dresden Helene Countess von Reichenbach-Lessonitz (* 1825 Wilhelmshöhe Palace , † 1898 in Munich ), the very wealthy, youngest daughter of the rich Elector Wilhelm II of Hesse. And his second wife Countess Emilie von Reichenbach-Lessonitz born Ortlöpp.

Her only son, Wilhelm Friedrich Maximilian Freiherr von Fabrice (* 1845 in Dresden, † 1914 in Munich), was at times electoral Hessian chamberlain of the last elector Friedrich Wilhelm I (Hesse-Kassel) . Maximilian was the last male name bearer of this family line. He married the Hungarian Countess Ilma Almasy von Zsadany and Török-Szent-Miklos (* 1842 in Budapest ; † 1914 at Schloss Gottlieben ) in Dresden in 1874 and had five children with her, some of whom were born at the Schloss Gottlieben at Lake Constance . Gottlieb Castle was sold in 1950 to the Swiss opera singer Lisa della Casa (* 1919; † 2012) with her husband Dragan Debeljevic.

Almost all of the daughters were married several times.
