The members of Reuss-Lobenstein family belonged to the
Reuss Junior Line
. Reuss-Lobenstein has existed on two occasions, it was firstly created in 1425 as a lordship with
Heinrich II, Lord of Reuss-Lobenstein
becoming the first ruler. The first Lordship of Reuss-Lobenstein came to an end in 1547 when the territory went to
Reuss-Plauen
.
Reuss-Lobenstein was recreated in 1647 again as a lordship which it remained until 1673 when the title of lord was upgraded to count. Following the death of Count
Henry X
in 1671, Reuss-Lobenstein was ruled jointly by his three sons
Heinrich III
,
Heinrich VIII
and
Heinrich X
. In 1678 Reuss-Lobenstein was partitioned with Heinrich III remaining Count of Reuss-Lobenstein, Heinrich VIII becoming Count of
Reuss-Hirschberg
and Heinrich X becoming the Count of
Reuss-Ebersdorf
. Reuss-Lobenstein was partitioned for a second time in 1710 following the death of Heinrich III with
Reuss-Selbitz
being created for a younger son
Heinrich XXVI
while his eldest son
Heinrich XV
succeeded him as count of Reuss-Lobenstein.
Reuss-Lobenstein was raised to a principality in 1790 and joined the
Confederation of the Rhine
on 15 December 1806. With the death of Prince
Heinrich LIV
in 1824 the Reuss-Lobenstein line became extinct and was inherited by the Prince of
Reuss-Ebersdorf
