Erwein Friedrich Karl, Graf von Schönborn-Buchheim (9 November 1842 – 20 January 1903) was an Austrian landowner and aristocrat.
Early life
Erwein Friedrich Karl was born at the Schönborn Palace in Göllersdorf, Lower Austria. He was the third, but eldest surviving, son of Karl Friedrich Eduard von Schönborn-Buchheim (1803–1854) and Countess Mária Anna Antonia Bolza, who were married at Szarvas in 1833.[1] His surviving siblings were Maria Anna Josephine Karoline (wife of Count Franz von Schaffgotsch), Eugenie Friederike Marie (wife of Count Heinrich von Wurmbrand-Stuppach), Charlotte Anna Sophie (wife of Count Karl von Arco-Valley and Baron Wilhelm Künsberg von Fronberg), and Anna (wife of Count Anton von Ludwigstorff-Goldlamb).[2]
His father became the titular Count of Schönborn-Buchheim in 1844 when his brother, Erwein, resigned his rights in his favor.[5] Ten years later, his father died and eleven year-old Erwein became the 4th Count of Schönborn-Buchheim.[6]

On 11 April 1864 in Vienna, the Count married Countess Franziska von Trauttmansdorff-Weinsberg (1844–1898), a daughter of Prince Ferdinand Joachim von Trauttmansdorff-Weinsberg (a grandson of Prince Ferdinand von Trauttmansdorff) and Princess Anna of Liechtenstein (a daughter of Prince Karl of Liechtenstein, himself a grandson of Prince Karl Borromäus of Liechtenstein). Together, they were the parents of:[2]
Anna Marie von Schönborn-Buchheim (1865–1954), who married Prince Gottfried Karl Joseph of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, a son of Prince Ludwig Karl Gustav of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and Countess Maria Gabriele von Trauttmansdorff, in 1890.[7]
