About Philip Ernest, Count of Hohenlohe-Langenburg

  • Philip Ernest, Count of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (11 August 1584 in Langenburg – 29 January 1628 in Weikersheim), was Count of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and was the fourth son of Wolfgang, Count of Hohenlohe-Weikersheim (1546–1610), who later became regent of the county of Weikersheim and his wife Magdalena of Nassau-Dillenburg (1547–1643). He served in the Dutch army until he inherited the Dutch Lordship of Liesvelt from his uncle, Philip of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein.
  • When his father died in 1610, he and his brothers George Frederick (1569–1647) and Kraft (1582–1641) divided the inheritance.
  • George Frederick received Weikersheim; Kraft received Neuenstein and Philip Ernest received the Lordship of Langenburg.
  • He immediately began the construction of Langenburg Castle.
  • He spent much of his time in the Netherlands, until he was relieved of his duties as a colonel by the States-General. He died in 1628, at the age of 44, in Weikersheim, of a "stone disease".
  • He was buried, together with his wife, in the crypt of the church in Langenburg.
  • A stone monument commemorating the couple can be found behind the altar.
