Henry Frederick, Count of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (7 September 1625 in Langenburg – 2 June 1699 ibid) was the youngest child of Count Philip Ernest of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and his wife Countess Anna Maria of Solms-Sonnewalde.[1]
He was head of the house of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and added the bell tower to the town church of Langenburg, which supports four bells, and still stands today. The count worked hard and successfully to rebuild his county, which suffered badly during the Thirty Years' War. He also managed to reduce the county's public debt.
