King of Württemberg Wilhelm II (1892)

Biography

German monarch and field marshal who reigned as the last King of Württemberg from 6 October 1891 until the abolition of the kingdom on 30 November 1918.

Wilhelm was the only child of Prince Friedrich of Württemberg (1808–1870) by his wife Princess Katherina Friederike of Württemberg (1821–1898), herself the daughter of King Wilhelm I of Württemberg (1781–1864). His parents were first cousins, being the children of two brothers, and Wilhelm was their only child.

On 15 February 1877 at Arolsen he married Princess Marie of Waldeck and Pyrmont (1857–1882). They had three children. Marie died on 30 April 1882 in Stuttgart, from complications resulting from the birth of her third child, a stillborn daughter. On 8 April 1886, at Bückeburg, he married Princess Charlotte of Schaumburg-Lippe (1864–1946). They had no children.

In 1891, Wilhelm succeeded his childless maternal uncle, King Karl I (1823–1891) and became King of Württemberg. King Wilhelm became a Generalfeldmarschall during World War I. In 1918, he was deposed from the throne along with the other German rulers. King Wilhelm finally abdicated on 30 November 1918.

He died on 2 October 1921, aged 73, in Bebenhausen, Württemberg, Weimar Republic. The royal branch of the House of Württemberg thus became extinct and the headship of the house devolved to Albrecht, Duke of Württemberg.
