Early life
Hohenlohe was born at Bartenstein in Hohenlohe-Bartenstein on 12 December 1766. He was the second son of Louis Charles, Prince of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein (1731–1799), and Countess Polyxena Benedikta Josepha Philippine Antonia von Limburg-Stirum (1738–1798). Among his siblings was elder brother, Louis Aloysius, who succeeded their father as the 3rd Prince of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein in 1803.
His paternal grandparents were Charles Philip, Prince of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein, and Sophie Friederike of Hesse-Homburg. His maternal grandparents were Count Christian Otto von Limburg-Stirum and Caroline von Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst.
Career
In 1798, following his father's death, the territory of Hohenlohe-Jagstberg was partitioned out of the Principality of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein, which was then ruled by his elder brother, Louis Aloysius. His territory was elevated as a separate principality at the same time, and, in 1803, he acquired Haltenbergstetten Castle in Niederstetten as its seat. His reign, however, was short-lived, as upon the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the Imperial State of Hohenlohe-Jagstberg, as well as Hohenlohe-Bartenstein, were both mediatised to the Kingdom of Württemberg.

On 5 July 1796, Prince Hohenlohe was married to Duchess Henriette Charlotte Friederike of Württemberg (1767–1817), the youngest of three daughters of Louis Eugene, Duke of Württemberg (the reigning Duke of Württemberg from 1793 until his death in 1795) and Countess Sophie Albertine von Beichlingen.
