Count Albrecht Friedrich Wilhelm Bernhard of Hohenau was a German nobleman.
Background
Frederick, also known as Fritz, was a son of Prince Albrecht of Prussia (1809–1872), who was a brother of Emperor William I and King Frederick William IV of Prussia, from his second, morganatic marriage with Rosalie (1820–1879), daughter of the Prussian War Minister Gustav von Rauch.
Career
In 1901, together with Friedrich Botho, a brother of Philip, Prince of Eulenburg, he had to leave the Prussian military service because of his homosexual inclinations. Frederick was also involved in the two biggest scandals of the German Empire under Kaiser Wilhelm World War II
Frederick married Charlotte von der Decken (1863–1933) at 21 June 1881 in Berbisdorf. The couple had the following issue:
Albrecht (1882–1966)
Wilhelm (1884–1957), a horse rider who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics
Friedrich Karl (1895–1929)
Friedrich Franz (1896–1918), killed in action during the First World War.
Membership
Because his father’s marriage to his mother was morganatic, Frederick was not counted as a member of the House of Hohenzollern.
