Joseph (Joseph Georg Friedrich Ernst Karl; 27 August 1789 ? 25 November 1868) was Duke of Saxe-Altenburg from 1834 to 1848.

Biography [ edit ]

Joseph was the second but first surviving son of Frederick, Duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen (of Saxe-Altenburg from 1826) and Duchess Charlotte Georgine of Mecklenburg-Strelitz . Joseph succeeded his father as Duke of Saxe-Altenburg after his death in 1834.

In 1814, Joseph and his brother George fought with the allies against France in the Napoleonic Wars . Later, he held the rank of General Major in Saxon services.

Joseph implemented several buildings in Altenburg, but his government was considered conservative and resistant to reform; for this, he was forced to abdicate during the civil revolution of 1848.
