| Herbert von Bismarck |
(Nicolaus Heinrich Ferdinand) Herbert von Bismarck, Fürst von Bismarck (28 December 1849 - 18 September 1904) was born in Berlin, the son of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck and his wife Johanna, née von Puttkamer. He fought in the Franco-Prussian War, sustaining a bullet wound through the left leg during a cavalry charge at the Battle of Mars-La-Tour. He joined the diplomatic service in 1874, on his father's wishes. He advanced on both nepotism and talent. He became State Secretary of the Foreign Office in 1886. He once said that 'My father is the only person who can handle this business'. He wanted to marry Princess Elisabeth von Carolath-Beuthen in 1881, but his father would not allow it, as she was a Catholic divorcee and she was ten years older than Herbert. He pressured his son with tears, blackmail and threatening to disinherit him by getting Kaiser Wilhelm I to change the primogeniture statutes. This experience left him a very bitter and alcoholic man. He once shot five bullets through a Foreign Office window to be told he may have hit someone. He replied 'Officials have to be kept in a permanent state of irritation and alarm; the moment that ceases they stop working'. On 21 June 1892 in Vienna he married Marguerite Hoyos, Freiin zu Stichsenstein, granddaughter of Robert Whitehead, the inventor of the torpedo. They had two children, a son, Count Gottfried von Bismarck-Schönhausen, and a daughter, Hanna Leopoldine Alice von Bismarck-Schönhausen. (references) |
