Baron Joseph Franz Peter von Linden (7 June 1804 – 31 May 1895), was a German lawyer and politician in the Württemberg civil service.

In 1850, Linden won a seat as an elected deputy in the Frankfurt Parliament, which formed in the wake of the March Revolution.

In this sense, Linden was the successor to Johannes von Schlayer in the years 1850 to 1864 as the leading Minister of the Kingdom of Württemberg.

[2] In order for Württemberg to be able to develop positively, he worked together with Ferdinand von Steinbeis to promote agriculture, trade and industry.

[4] After Linden's dismissal as Minister by Charles I, he became Württemberg's Ambassador to the Courts of Hesse and to the Federal Convention in Frankfurt.

On 10 January 1893, at the age of 89, he resigned from his post due to health concerns and retired to his Neunthausen Manor in the Black Forest.
