Johannes, Prince von Fürstenstein (born 1940) is the head of the Princely House of Fürstenstein, one of Brasland's great families. He is the son of Prince Albrecht von Fürstenstein.

He is married to Ghislaine Luppin, daughter of Philibert Luppin, an industrialist who amassed one of Brasland's largest fortunes. They have seven children: Johanna (born 1968), Karl (born 1969), Anne (born 1971), Josef (born 1972), Odette (born 1977), Florentine (born 1979) and Eléonore (*1984).

Prince Johannes has divided his time between the reorganisation of the Fürstenstein estates, in order to turn them into sustainable businesses, and increasing the family's art collection. He is one of the country's best connoisseurs in modern art, and a promoter of artists and cultural institutions, sitting on the boards of several of them.
