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.
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. His maternal grandparents were Imperial Count Clemens August von Westphalen zu Fürstenberg (sole heir of his maternal great-uncle, Prince-Bishop of Paderborn William Anton of Asseburg, and his paternal uncle, Prince-Bishop of Hildesheim Friedrich Wilhelm of Westphalia) and Countess Maria Antonia Waldbott von Bassenheim.[2][3]
Career
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. Schönborn-Wiesentheid, a partition of Schönborn, inherited the other line of Schönborn-Heusenstamm in 1801 before it was mediatised to Bavaria in 1806.[1]
Upon the death of his father in 1840, his elder brother Hugo became the titular Count of Schönborn-Wiesentheid. Upon his brother's death in 1865, he became the 3rd Count. As a landowner in Lower and Upper Franconia and a hereditary member of the Reichsrat, Schönborn-Wiesentheid was also a member of the Chamber of Imperial Councillors from 1865 to 1877.[4]
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]
