Friedrich Ludwig, Prince of Hohenzollern-Hechingen

He was an imperial Field Marshal and Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian army on the Upper Rhine.

He fought under Prince Eugene of Savoy in the Austro-Turkish War of 1716–1718 and against Hungarian rebels.

His passion for hunting led him to construct a Jagdschloss and summer residence, despite the principality's awkward financial situation.

The architecturally outstanding Lindich Castle was constructed between 1739 and 1741, three kilometers west of Hechingen.

These construction projects worsened the principality's financial problems and led to confrontations with his subjects.

Lindich Castle was built at the instigation of Friedrich Ludwig
