Ferdinand Eduard von Stumm

Ferdinand Eduard, Freiherr[a] von Stumm (12 July 1843 – 10 May 1925), was a Prussian and German diplomat.

[4] While his older brother Carl took over the management of the ironworks, Ferdinand benefited from the profits of the family business as a silent partner.

Stumm and his wife built several public buildings in Rauischholzhausen, including a church, a Protestant community center, a dairy and a retirement home.

[6] On 28 June 1879, Stumm married American heiress Pauline von Hoffmann (12 August 1858 – 9 October 1950), in Fulda.

[18] Through his eldest son Ferdinand,[19] he was a grandfather of Nora von Stumm (1916–2000), who married Count Hyacinth Strachwitz.
