place of birth: Frankfurt am Main
Königreich Preußen
Baron
von Reischach served for many years in Kaiser Wilhelm II's court as
the Oberhofmarschall, or senior administrative official in charge
of the Imperial Court, supervising all of its financial affairs. He had
initially served as an Imperial Cavalry officer in the Garde du Corps.
Von
Reischach was the son of
Hermann Friedrich von Raischach and
Albertine von Bonin. When he married
Princess Margarethe Marie von Ratibor-Corvey, the
youngest daughter of the Duke of Ratibor, he thus secured a place in the
household of the Empress Augusta. Kaiser Wilhelm II appointed Reischach
as Senior Equerry in 1905, putting him in charge of the Imperial
stables. In 1914, von Reischach became Wilhelm's Oberhofmarschall
and Hausmarschall, remaining in this capacity for the duration of
the War.
