Frederick of Hohenau

Count[1] Albrecht Friedrich Wilhelm Bernhard of Hohenau (21 May 1857, in the Albrechtsberg Castle, in Dresden – 15 April 1914, in Ochelhermsdorf) was a German nobleman.

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.

In 1901, together with Friedrich Botho, a brother of Philipp, Prince of Eulenburg, he had to leave the Prussian military service because of his homosexual inclinations.

[3] Frederick was also involved in the two biggest scandals of the German Empire under Kaiser Wilhelm II.

He belonged to the Liebenberg Round Table and played a role alongside his wife in the so-called Kotze Affair [de].
