As his father became increasingly wealthy, especially in the Aschaffenburg area, he gave up his previous residence in Schönborn Castle in Heusenstamm, which had been built by his father, Baron Philipp Erwein von Schönborn, in favor of Anselm Franz. Established as a German statelet in 1717, the County of Schönborn-Heusenstamm was a partition of Schönborn, in the south of modern Hesse, Germany.[8]
Personal life
Schönborn was married to Countess Maria Theresia von Montfort (1698–1751), a daughter of Count Anton III von Montfort-Pfannberg and Countess Maria Anna Leopoldine von Thun und Hohenstein.[9] Together, they were the parents of one son:[10]
Schönborn died on 10 August 1726 in Mainz before his son and heir, Eugen Erwein, was born there on 17 January 1727. After his son's death in 1801, the Heusenstamm property passed into the hands of the Wiesentheid branch of the family.[9]
