Rudolf von Reuthen

Count Rudolf von Reuthen (1851-1928) was a Braslander politician.

Although he was born in a family linked to the Conservative Party, he was a convinced liberal who believed the Crown and the Catholic Church should have limited power in Braslander society. He entered politics at the age of nineteen, becoming a prominent leader inside the Liberal Party. He served as a Member of Parliament until its dissolution in 1891.

In 1879 he married Countess Agathe von Weisseck. They had four children: Franz (born 1880), Aglaë (born 1881), Vincenz (born 1883) and Ladislaya (born and died 1887). Agathe died in 1889.

Rudolf remarried in 1893 to Wilhelmine von Magnat. They had children: Karl (born 1895), Engelbert (born 1896), Elisabeth (born 1897), Hubertus (1899-1923), Carl (born 1901) and Larissa (born 1904).

After Parliament was dissolved Rudolf became a practising lawyer, leaving the administration of his estate in the hands of his brother-in-law. However, after some problems with him, he fired him and took charge of his lands himself, dying at Schloss Vissen in 1928.
