Biography

Prince Franz Josef of Schaumburg-Lippe (1865–1881) was a young scion of the German princely house whose brief years were shaped by the quiet responsibilities of court life and the hopes placed upon him by his family.

He was laid to rest at the military cemetery in Náchod, where the simple stones honor the ties between the dynasty and the region that sustained them.
