  2. Fürst Carl

The story of FÜRST CARL begins on 24th May 1815. The Field Marshal Carl Philipp, Earl of Wrede (1767 Heidelberg – 1838 Ellingen) received the Teutonic Castle Ellingen from King Max I. Joseph as a royal throne and fiefdom. Out of respect and in honour of the brave and passionate Field Marshal, since then every first-born within the Earl of Wredes family has the first name Carl.

Today the company, the Fürst von Wrede GmbH & Co. Unternehmens KG, is run by the sixth and seventh generation: The Right Honourable Carl Friedrich Earl of Wrede, The Right Honourable Carl Christian Earl of Wrede and The Right Honourable Katalin Countess of Wrede.

The diverse corporate divisions are united under the umbrella brand FÜRST CARL. We stand together for the region, tradition & innovation, quality and sustainability.
