About Anton Aloys, Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen

  • Anton Aloys, Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (1762–1831) was Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. Anton Aloys was the son of Prince Karl Friedrich, Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (1724–1785) and his wife Johanna (1727–1787), daughter of Count Franz Wilhelm of Hohenzollern-Berg.
  • Anton Aloys was born during the Seven Years' War and grew up mostly in 'Bergh-'s-Heerenberg on his mother's Dutch estate.
  • His father participated in the War, so his mother lived there with her brother.
  • Later he was educated at the universities of Freiburg, Heidelberg and Ingolstadt.
  • He married on 13 August 1782 at Schloss Dhaun, Amalie Zephyrine (1760–1841), the daughter of Philipp Joseph, Prince of Salm-Kyrburg. In 1785 he succeeded his father, and two years later after his mother's death inherited her rich Dutch estates through the county of Bergh-s'Heerenberg.
  • In 1789 the Brabant Revolution took place in the Austrian Netherlands, which Anton Aloys followed intently due to his possessions there.
  • At the 1790 coronation of Emperor Leopold II of the House of Habsburg-Lotharingia, Anton Aloys held the office of Lord Chamberlain.
  • At the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars, Anton Aloys fled to Vienna, and returned again in 1796.
  • France received from Germany the territories on the left Rhine, so Anton Aloys lost all his Dutch estates in 1802.
  • As compensation he received the territory of Glatt in the northern Black Forest, and the old monasteries of Inzigkofen, Beuron and Holzen.
