Klemens August Emmerich, 3rd Count of Schönborn-Wiesentheid (8 October 1810 – 24 August 1877) was an Austrian Reichsrat and Member of the Reichstag of the German Empire.

Early life

Schönborn-Wiesentheid was born on 30 January 1846 in Gaibach into the Hochadel (high nobility). He was a younger son of Count Franz Erwein von Schönborn-Wiesentheid and Countess Fernandine von Westphalen zu Fürstenberg. His elder brother was Hugo, 2nd Count of Schönborn-Wiesentheid.[1]

His paternal grandparents were Count Erwein von Schönborn-Buchheim and Countess Maria Anna von Stadion zu Thannhausen und Warthausen.

The County of Schönborn-Wiesentheid was in Lower Franconia, the northwestern Region of modern Bavaria, and comprised various isolated districts spanning from the Regnitz River to the Main River east of Würzburg.

From 1874 to 1877, he was a member of the German Reichstag for the constituency of Lower Franconia (Kitzingen) for the Centre Party. In a by-election made necessary by his death on 27 November 1877, his son Friedrich Carl succeeded him in parliament.[5]
