Friedrich Wilhelm Eugen Karl Hugo, Prince of Hohenlohe-Öhringen, Duke of Ujest (title in German: Fürst zu Hohenlohe-Öhringen, Herzog von Ujest; 27 May 1816 – 23 August 1897) was a German nobleman, politician, mining industrialist and general in the armies of the kingdom of Württemberg and the kingdom of Prussia.

Early life

A hereditary prince of the House of Hohenlohe, he was born in Stuttgart on 27 May 1816. He was the son of August, Prince of Hohenlohe-Öhringen.

His paternal grandparents were Frederick Louis, Prince of Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen, and Countess Maria Amalie von Hoym. His uncle was Prince Adolf zu Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen (who briefly served as Minister-President of Prussia in 1862 and was succeeded by Otto von Bismarck), and his cousin was Prince Kraft zu Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen.

Career

Portrait in 1878

His paternal grandfather, Frederick Louis, had acquired the estates of Slawentzitz, Ujest and Bitschin in Silesia by marriage in 1782, an area of 108 square miles. Prince Hugo inherited these lands, as well as his Franconian properties (Öhringen and Neuenstein), and established calamine mines. He also founded one of the largest zinc smelting plants in the world. The Prussian king, William I (later German Emperor), granted him the hereditary title of Herzog von Ujest (Duke of Ujest) upon the king's coronation in 1861.

On 15 April 1847, he married Princess Pauline Wilhelmine Karoline Amalie zu Fürstenberg (Donaueschingen, 11 June 1829 – Slawentzitz, 3 August 1900). She was the youngest child of Amalie of Baden and Charles Egon II, Prince of Fürstenberg.
