Friedrich Egon von Fürstenberg (8 October 1813 – 20 August 1892) was a prelate of the Catholic Church who was archbishop of Olomouc from 1853 until his death almost forty years later. He was made a cardinal in 1879. By birth, he was member of the collateral branch of the House of Fürstenberg.
Friedrich Egon von Fürstenberg was born in Vienna in the Austrian Empire on 8 October 1813.[1] He had the title of Landgrave; his parents were Landgrave Friedrich Carl zu Fürstenberg-Weitra (1774-1856) and Princess Maria Theresie zu Schwarzenberg (1780-1870). He was the cousin of Cardinal Friedrich Prince zu Schwarzenberg (1809–1885).
He chose to pursue a clerical career over his family's opposition.[1] He studied theology at the University of Vienna from 1831 to 1835 and then earned a doctorate in theology at the University of Olomouc in 1838. He became a non-resident canon of the cathedral chapter of Olomouc in 1832 and was ordained a priest on 15 October 1836.
He was chosen archbishop of Olomouc by its chapter on 6 June 1853 and the pope confirmed his appointment on 27 June 1853. He received his episcopal consecration in Olomouc on 4 September 1853 from his cousin Cardinal von Schwarzenberg, the archbishop of Prague.
Pope Leo XIII made him a cardinal priest on 12 May 1879.[2] He received his red galero and the title of San Crisogono on 27 February 1880.[3]
He died in Hukvaldy, Moravia, on 20 August 1892.
