The Czech branch of the Princely House of Thurn and Taxis ((ドイツ語:Das Fürstenhaus Thurn und Taxis)) is a dynastic branch of a German family that was a key player in the postal services in Europe in the 16th century and is well known as owners of breweries and builders of countless castles. ==History== The Czech branch of the House of Thurn und Taxis was founded in 1808 by Prince Maximilian Joseph von Thurn und Taxis (Regensburg, 29 May 1769 – Prague, 15 May 1831). He was the youngest child of Alexander Ferdinand, 3rd Prince of Thurn and Taxis (1704–1773), a founder of a dynastic order of knighthood and a house order of chivalry in the Princely House of Thurn and Taxis, The Order of Parfaite Amitié, and his third wife Princess Maria Henriette von Fürstenberg (1732–1772). In 1791, Maximilian married Princess Eleonore von Lobkowicz (Prague, 22 April 1770 – Lautschin, 9 November 1834), who belonged to a Czech noble family whose origin can be traced back to Mares Martin z Ujezda (1376–90).〔Mareček 1998, pp.80–81; Marek〕 In 1808, he inherited Lautschin (Loučeň in Czech) and Dobrovice castles from his cousin Princess Maria Josefa von Fürstenberg, and in 1820 permanently settled in Bohemia.〔Mareček 1998, p.80〕 Besides Lautschin and other rural estates, the family also owned real estate in Prague that included two palaces: one in the city's uptown (V jámě 635–636, no longer exists) and one in the old town (Vrtbovský Palace in Malá Strana, purchased in 1814).〔Dročár, 2007〕 Maximilian and Eleonore had six sons:〔(Geni.com )〕 * Karl Anselm von Thurn und Taxis (1792–1844), the firstborn (not to be confused with his uncle Karl Anselm, 4th Prince of Thurn and Taxis of Regensburg, heir to the House of Thurn und Taxis wealth).〔 * August Maria Maximilian von Thurn und Taxis (1794–1862) * Joseph von Thurn und Taxis (1796–1857) * Karl Theodor von Thurn und Taxis (1797–1868) * Friedrich Hannibal Thurn and Taxis (1799–1857) * Wilhelm Karl von Thurn und Taxis (1801–1848) In 1815 Prince Karl Anselm von Thurn und Taxis (Prague, 18 June 1792 – Teplitz, 25 August 1844) married Countess Marie Isabelle von und zu Eltz Faust von Stromberg (Dresden, 10 February 1795 – Prague, 12 March 1859).
