About Leopold, 2nd Prince of Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach

Lived 1795 – 1861 (aged 65–66).

Leopold Maria Carl Eberhard Fidel Alois Stephan Martin, 2nd Prince of Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach (11 November 1795 – 26 April 1861) was a German prince and politician.

Early life Leopold was born at Bad Wurzach on 11 November 1795. He was the son of Hereditary Count Leopold von Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach (1769–1800) and Countess Maria Walburga von Kirchberg-Weißenhorn (1771–1841). Among his siblings were Countess Walpurgis (wife of Charles Joseph, 1st Prince of Hohenlohe-Jagstberg), Count Maximilian (who died unmarried), Count Carl (who died unmarried), and Countess Maria Theresia (wife of Count Karl von Maldeghem). The Principality had been mediatised to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806, the year before he became Prince. Because of his minority, he was initially under guardianship until 1815. Her brother, Anton, 2nd Prince Fugger von Babenhausen, married Princess Franziska of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein-Jagtsberg (a daughter of Charles Joseph, 1st Prince of Hohenlohe-Jagstberg). Together, they lived at Wurzach Castle and were the parents of:

Countess Maria of Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach (1822–1893), who never married. Countess Maria Theresia of Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach (1827–1831), who died young.

Descendants Through his son Eberhard's first marriage, he was a grandfather of Countess Marie of Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach (1857–1924), who married Count Karl von Waldburg-Zeil (later Waldburg-Syrgenstein), and, after his death, Austrian diplomat Baron Karl Heidler von Egeregg. Through his son Eberhard's second marriage, he was the grandfather of five, including Countess Xaveria of Waldburg-Zeil-Wurzach (1860–1901), who married Count Sigismund von Attems-Petzenstein, and Countess Elisabeth of Waldburg zu Zeil-Wurzach (1866–1950), who married Count Maximilian von Moy de Sons.
