Early life

edit

Prince Joseph Franz was born 17 February 1803 in Vienna. He was a youngers son, of twelve children, born to Joseph Franz, 7th Prince of Lobkowitz (1772–1816) and Princess Maria Karolina von Schwarzenberg (1775–1816).[1]

His paternal grandparents were Ferdinand Philipp, 6th Prince Lobkowicz (son of Phillip Hyacinth, 4th Prince of Lobkowicz) and Princess Maria Gabriella di Savoia-Carignano (a daughter of Louis Victor, Prince of Carignano and Princess Christine of Hesse-Rotenburg).[2][3] His maternal grandparents were Johann I, Prince of Schwarzenberg [de] and Countess Maria Eleonore zu Oettingen-Wallerstein (a daughter of Count Philipp Karl von Oettingen-Wallerstein). His maternal uncle was Joseph II, Prince of Schwarzenberg.[4]

Career

edit
 
Dolní Beřkovice Castle

Upon the death of his father in 1816, his elder brother, Ferdinand Joseph, became the 8th Prince of Lobkowitz, however, the family's Imperial immediacy over Princely county of Störnstein in the Holy Roman Empire had been mediatized to Bavaria in 1807.[5] As he was just one of many sons, the family estates were divided amongst the brothers, thereby creating several new subsidiary lines with Prince Johann Nepomuk founding the line of Křinice, Prince Ludwig Johann founding a line in Hungary, and Prince Karl Johann serving as Governor of Lower Austria, Moravia, and of Tyrol.[5]

Prince Joseph Franz, who served as Head of Household of the Empress Elisabeth founded the line of Dolní Beřkovice near the old Lobkowicz land in north-central Bohemia, located on the Elbe river.[6] His seat, Dolní Beřkovice Castle, was rebuilt in the mid-19th century.[5]
