Philipp von Hanau-Hořovice

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prince Philipp von Hanau-Hořovice , full name Friedrich Wilhelm Philipp von Hanau-Hořovice (born December 29, 1844 in Kassel , † August 28, 1914 in Oberurff ) was the youngest of six sons from the morganatic marriage of Elector Friedrich Wilhelm I. from Hessen-Kassel with Gertrude Lehmann .

ancestry

On June 2, 1853, the elector awarded her and the descendants from his marriage to her the title of “Prince or Prince of Hanau”. The Austrian recognition as "Princess Hanau von und zu Hořowitz" took place on March 6, 1855. The electoral Hessian confirmation of this title and name for the children of the elector and the descendants of his sons made their marriage appropriate to their status (at least the spouse's descent from a count) Prerequisite and was recognized by the Austrian side on January 20, 1877. Philipp was thus Prince of Hanau. With the exception of the eldest, his older brothers gradually all became princes of Hanau, but each died without any descendants entitled to inherit, so that the next-born always inherited the title. Philipp himself, like his eldest brother Friedrich Wilhelm , was excluded from the succession as Prince of Hanau because of his inappropriate marriage, and his sons were "Counts of Schaumburg".

Life

Philipp, who lived with his parents in Bohemian- Austrian exile in Prague and at Hořowitz Castle from 1867 , became a cavalry captain in the Austrian service. His participation in the occupation of Bosnia by Austria in 1878 was poetically "immortalized" by Adam Trabert . After the death of his father (1875) and the absence of the agnates on the succession claims in favor of Prussia he returned to Hesse and acquired by the widow of 1871 late Prussian country director in Kassel and former Hesse-Kassel court official Philip of Wintzingerode the Good and mansion in Oberurff, today part of Bad Zwesten in the Schwalm-Eder district in Northern Hesse , as his residence. In 1877 he had Oberurff Castle built on the site , a large mansion in the neo- baroque style , along with an extensive landscaped park . Then he brought his father's library and cabinet files to Oberurff.

From 1890 to 1903 Philipp was a member of the Communal Parliament of the Prussian administrative district of Kassel and the Provincial Parliament of the Hesse-Nassau Province , but his efforts to obtain a Berlin parliamentary seat were unsuccessful.

Marriage and offspring

Philipp married Albertine Hubatschek-Stauber on March 29, 1875 in Vienna (* December 7, 1840 in Semlin ; † April 11, 1912 in Meran- Gratsch). She was made Countess of Schaumburg, and the descendants of the two were named "Counts of Schaumburg". The marriage had three sons and two granddaughters:

  1. "Philipp" (born April 17, 1868 in Purkersdorf near Vienna , † September 19, 1890 in Berlin )
  2. "Friedrich" Wilhelm August (born December 18, 1875 in Eaux-Vives ( Geneva ), † December 26, 1898 in Leipzig )
  3. "Karl August" Friedrich Felix (born August 10, 1878 in Oberurff, † December 2, 1905 in Lehrbach ), ⚭ September 28, 1901 Anna von Böchmann, b. von Trott zu Solz (born December 27, 1870 in Diez , † October 15, 1942 in Oberurff)
    1. Albertine (1902–1935), ⚭ Edwin Graf von Rothkirch and Trach (1888–1980)
    2. Marie Luise (1903), ⚭ Hans Treusch von Buttlar-Brandenfels (1885–1946)
