Johann Christoph Fugger

Johann Christoph Fugger (1561-1612) was a German nobleman and businessman.

Early life and ancestry Born as the tenth child and sixth son of Wolfgang Fugger von Reh (1519/20–1568) and his wife, Margarethe Tetzel, whose family were part of Patriciate of the Imperial City of Nuremberg. He was the last surviving member of this branch of the Fugger family.

Biography He was employed at the royal court in Prague. In 1603, he married Regina Greiner (b. 1565), widow of Christoph Buroner from Augsburg (1535-1601). Johann Christoph was a member of the German nobility. His grandfather, Gastel Fugger (1475–1539), was the one awarded with a patent of nobility. Johann Christoph Fugger had no descendants. Contemporary members of the Fugger vom Reh are descendants of Matthäus Fugger (1442-1489/92). The current head of the family is Markus Fugger von dem Rech (born 1970).
