August von Bibra

August Ludwig Karl Georg Friedrich Freiherr von Bibra (30 January 1808, Romrod – 1894) was director of the business affairs of Hermann, prince of Wied.

August, as the director of the business affairs of Hermann, Prince of Wied, was privy from its inception to the development of the Verein.

He took no active part in the society until 1847, when it became apparent because of debts and dissension, that a new more business like approach must be taken in order to save the reputations and investments of the noblemen.

Bibra struggled to repay the Verein debts and to revitalize the emigration program for more than ten years.

Born in Romrod, he was the child of Christian Ernst Heinrich von Bibra (1772–1844) and Luise Charlotte Amalia Riedesel zu Eisenbach (1781–1855).
