An engraved portrait of Cardinal Prince Hohenlohe.
Cardinal Hohenlohe was born in the Electorate of Hesse on 26 February 1823, the son of its ruler, Franz-Joseph, 5th Prince of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfurst and Princess Caroline Friederike Constanze of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. His father was a Catholic, while his mother was a Lutheran. In the standard compromise of the era, he and his brothers were raised in the faith of their father, while his sisters were raised in that of their mother. He took holy orders in 1849 and became in 1857 the titular bishop of Edessa in Mesopotamia and almoner to Pope Pius IX. He was appointed cardinal in June 1866. He was a brother of Prince Chlodwig zu Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst, Foreign Minister to the Kingdom of Bavaria, until its absorption into the German Empire in 1871. Hohenlohe died in Rome on 30 October 1896 and was buried in the Teutonic Cemetery reserved to German nationals serving the institutions of the Church in Rome.
