[2] Fugger von Glött received a typical upbringing for a young, aristocratic country man of his time: he completed his Abitur at the elite Gymnasium "Stella Matutina," took part in World War I as a lieutenant for an extremely prestigious Bavarian cavalry regiment, and completed his "Studium" after the war at the University of Hohenheim.
After the 20 July plot failed, Fugger von Glött was arrested at his castle in Kirchheim on 3 September 1944 by the Gestapo for his role in the assassination attempt.
Unlike the majority of conspirators, Fugger von Glött was sentenced to penal servitude rather than execution.
[4] After the war, Fugger von Glött returned to his hometown in order to devote himself once again to his family and chores.
Fugger von Glött quickly began to invest himself in politics, and helped found the CSU in 1945/1946.
