 I thr< bac HOHENLOHE e Austrians on the right bank of the Inn. e archduke believed that the French were treating, and his plan was to attack them in nt, while Klenau should cut off their retreat Munich, and Killer intercept them on the ,d to Augsburg. Moreau was indeed retreat- ing, but he chose to concentrate his army at Hohenlinden, and to wait for the enemy. The " ustrian army was divided on Dec. 3 into three lumns. The main corps, forming the mid- dle column, advanced in a heavy snow storm through the woods toward Hohenlinden, where " ey attacked the corps of Grenier and Grouchy, hich were reenforced in time to beat them k into the defile of the main road. Con- fused, and attacked by Richepanse, who was subsequently assisted by Fey, the column lost ground and finally dispersed. The other col- umns were also forced to retreat, and at 2 o'clock the victory was completely in the hands of the French, who desisted from pursuing the Austrians on account of the condition of the weather, as well as of the roads. The Austrians lost 8,000 men dead and wounded, upward of 10,000 prisoners, and 100 guns. The French announced a loss of only 5,000 men. Nego- tiations were now renewed, and terminated in the treaty of peace of Luneville. HOHENLOHE, the name of a German princely family, claiming its descent from the dukes of Franconia, named from the territory of Hohen- lohe, originally a county, afterward a princi- pality, mediatized in 1806, and now belonging partly to Bavaria and partly to Wurtemberg. It was early divided into the lines of Hohen- lohe-Brauneck and Hohenlohe-Holloch. The former became extinct in the fourth generation, and the latter in 1340 formed the two branches of Hohenlohe-Hohenlohe and Hohenlohe-Speck- feld. This last alone has been perpetuated. Georg, count of Hohenlohe-Speckfeld, who died in 1551, left two sons: 1, Ludwig Casi- mir, the ancestor of the branch of Hohenlohe- Neuenstein-Oehringen, which became extinct in 1805, as well as of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein- Langenburg, now subdivided into Hohenlohe- Oehringen or Ingelfingen and Hohenlohe-Lan- genburg ; and 2, Eberhard, the ancestor of the branch of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg, divided into Hohenlohe-Bartenstein and Hohenlohe-Schil- lingsfurst. Of the descendants of Ludwig Casimir, the best known is FEIEDEICH LUDWIG, prince of Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen, a Prussian general (born in 1746, died in 1818). He be- came a colonel in 1788, and in the war against France distinguished himself as lieutenant gen- eral in storming the defensive lines near Weis- senburg. In 1794 he gained a brilliant victory at Kaiserslautern ; in 1800 became a general of infantry, and in 1804 governor of Franconia and general military inspector of Silesia. After holding subsequently several important com- mands, he was defeated at Jena, Oct. 14, 1806, capitulated at Prenzlau on Oct. 28, and thence- forward withdrew from public life. Of the Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfurst branch HOHENSTAUFEN 761 the most distinguished are: I. ALEXANDER LEOPOLD FRANZ EMMERICH, born at Kup- ferzell, Wurtemberg, Aug. 17, 1794, died in the castle of Voslau, near Vienna, Nov. 14, 1849. He was ordained priest in 1815, distin- guished himself at Stuttgart by his charity during an epidemic, and subsequently at Mu- nich by his preaching. In 1816 he went to Rome, where he is said to have entered the society of " Fathers of the Sacred Heart." In 1824 he became canon of Grosswardein, and was made grand provost in 1829. In 1844 he was appointed bishop of Sardica in partibm infidelium. He is chiefly known for the mirac- ulous cures attributed to his prayers in con- tinental Europe and the British isles ; the first person thus reported healed by him being the princess Schwarzenberg, who had been for several years a paralytic. Much discussion was also occasioned in the United States by the sudden cure of Mrs. Ann Mattingly in Washington, D. C., March 10, 1824. The pope had been urged in 1821 to give his sanction to the method employed by Prince Hohenlohe, but declined; nor has any approval of these cures been since obtained in Rome. His works are made up of ascetic and controversial trea- tises, together with several volumes of ser- mons. His posthumous works were published by Brunner (Ratisbon, 1851). II. CHLODWIG KARL VICTOR, a Bavarian statesman, born March 31, 1819. He was first known as prince of Ratibor and Korvei, and succeeded to his brother's title Feb. 12, 1846. In 1867 he became high chamberlain to the king of Bavaria, and minister of foreign affairs. Du- ring his administration he labored to promote German unity, while opposing the Prussian policy, which aimed at absorbing the minor states. He introduced the Prussian military system into Bavaria ; but as vice president of the customs parliament, he seemed to favor the formation of a South German confedera- tion. He also endeavored to prevent the meet- ing of the council of the Vatican, and entered for that purpose into negotiations with other European governments. The Bavarian cham- bers of 1869 being almost equally divided be- tween the friends and opponents of the cleri- cal party, he advised the king to dissolve them. In the new chambers he advocated a policy adverse to Prussia ; but failing to make it pre- vail, he resigned in 1870. After having taken a conspicuous part in making Bavaria join the new German empire, he became a member of the German Reichstag, and on March 23, 1871, was elected its first vice president. He strenu- ously supports the policy of Bismarck, partic- ularly in the complications with the holy see. In March, 1874, he was appointed German ambassador in Paris. HOHENSTAUFEN, the name of a German fam- ily of princes, which ruled the German empire, with short interruptions, from 1138 to 1254. The name is derived from a castle on Mount Staufen in Wurtemberg, built by Frederick
