Early life
editA hereditary prince of the House of Hohenlohe, he was born in Stuttgart on 27 May 1816. He was the son of August, Prince of Hohenlohe-Öhringen.[1]
His paternal grandparents were Frederick Louis, Prince of Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen, and Countess Maria Amalie von Hoym. His uncle was Prince Adolf zu Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen (who briefly served as Minister-President of Prussia in 1862 and was succeeded by Otto von Bismarck),[2] and his cousin was Prince Kraft zu Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen.[3]
Career

His paternal grandfather, Frederick Louis, had acquired the estates of Slawentzitz, Ujest and Bitschin in Silesia by marriage in 1782, an area of 108 square miles. Prince Hugo inherited these lands, as well as his Franconian properties (Öhringen and Neuenstein), and established calamine mines. He also founded one of the largest zinc smelting plants in the world. The Prussian king, William I (later German Emperor), granted him the hereditary title of Herzog von Ujest (Duke of Ujest) upon the king's coronation in 1861.[4]
