Biography

Ferfried of Hohenzollern (German: Ferfried Maximilian Pius Meinrad Maria Hubert Michael Justinus Prinz von Hohenzollern) (born 14 April 1943) is a member of the princely House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and former champion race car driver.

Early life

Ferfried is the youngest child and fourth son of Frederick, Prince of Hohenzollern and his wife Margarete Karola, daughter of the last Saxon king, Frederick Augustus III. The Swabian Hohenzollerns were elevated to princes in 1623 and ruled until 1849. Pope Pius XII was Ferfried's godfather.

Career

Ferfried of Hohenzollern in Brno, Czech Republic in May 1969

In 1971 Ferfried won the second 24-hour race at Nürburgring in Germany with a BMW 1600 Alpina. After 36 years of absence from active racing, he raced again for the private racing team Racing Strip.com live in 2007, again in a BMW.

Marriages and children

His first marriage, on 21 September 1968, was to Angela von Morgen (11 November 1942-11 January 2019), daughter of Ernst von Morgen and Countess Margarethe von Schlitz gen. von Görtz. They were divorced in 1973, having had two daughters:

  • Valerie Alexandra Henriette Margarethe (born 10 April 1969)
  • Stefanie Michaela Sigrid Birgitta (born 8 May 1971)

His second marriage, on 7 April 1977, was to Eliane Etter (born 4 May 1947), daughter of Dr. Hans Etter and Irmgard Zosso. They were divorced in 1987, having had two children:

  • Henriette Annabelle Gabriele Adrienne (born 26 March 1978)
  • Moritz Johannes Axel Peter Meinrad (born 5 May 1980)

In 1999 he married Maja Synke Meinert (born 8 October 1971). They were divorced in early March 2007.

Ferfried's three marriages were morganatic, although the first marriage to Angela von Morgen in 1968 (sister of Erika von Morgen, wife of Carl-Philip, Prince of Salm-Salm) was to a member of Germany's historical nobility, albeit untitled.

In the media

Beginning 8 May 2006 the reality programme Tatjana & Foffi – Cinderella Becomes A Princess was broadcast on television, focusing on Ferfried's former relationship with Tatjana Gsell. He appeared on TV Gusto’s Royal Dinner, co-hosting alongside Birte Karalus.
