Charles, Prince of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg (German: Karl Heinrich Fürst zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg) (21 May 1834 - 8 November 1921) was a German nobleman, the Prince of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg (1849–1908), Catholic politician and later a Dominican friar. He was the first President of the Catholic Society of Germany (1868), and a member of the Reichstag from 1871 for the Catholic Centre Party.
He was born in Haid, Kingdom of Bohemia, Austrian Empire, the second child of Constantine, Hereditary Prince of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg (1802–1838), and Princess Agnes of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1804–1835). He was a male-line descendant of Frederick I, Elector Palatine. He studied law, and succeeded to the headship of the House of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg and the title of Prince (Fürst) in 1849.
He married Princess Adelheid of Ysenburg-Büdingen (1841–1861)[1] in 1859.[2] After her death, he married Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein in Vienna in 1863. Sophie and Charles had eight children:
After the death of his wife, he became a member of the Dominican Order as Fr. Raymundus Maria in 1907, and lived in the monastery of Venlo in the Netherlands. He was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1908. The same year, he gave up his title of Prince and was succeeded by his son.[3] He died in Cologne.
He was a Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece.[4]
