Life

Ever since the 12th century, all men from the sideline Lobenstein of the house Reuss were called Heinrich.

Between 1805 and 1824 Heinrich LIV reigned as a Prince over the Principality of Reuss-Lobenstein, which was a state in the Holy Roman Empire (Current Germany.)[2]

In 1803, 20th of June, Heinrich LIV married Marie de Stolberg-Wernigerode (1774-1810), the contesse of Stolberg.

In 1810, she passed away. Heinrich LIV remarried in 1811 31st of May, to Franziska de Reuss-Kostritz (1788 - 1843).[3]

With the death of Prince Heinrich LIV in 1824, the Reuss-Lobenstein line became extinct. The Principality was later inherited by the Prince of Reuss-Ebersdorf.
