He was the third, but eldest surviving, son of Karl Friedrich Eduard von Schönborn-Buchheim (1803–1854) and Countess Mária Anna Antonia Bolza, who were married at Szarvas in 1833. His surviving siblings were Maria Anna Josephine Karoline (wife of Count Franz von Schaffgotsch), Eugenie Friederike Marie (wife of Count Heinrich von Wurmbrand-Stuppach), Charlotte Anna Sophie (wife of Count Karl von Arco-Valley and Baron Wilhelm Künsberg von Fronberg), and Anna (wife of Count Anton von Ludwigstorff-Goldlamb).
His paternal grandparents were Count Franz Philipp von Schönborn-Buchheim and Countess Maria Sophie von der Leyen (a sister of Philip Francis, Prince of Leyen). His maternal grandparents were Count Franz Joseph von Bolza and Countess Anna Maria Clara Batthyány von Német-Ujvar.
Career
His father became the titular Count of Schönborn-Buchheim in 1844 when his brother, Erwein, resigned his rights in his favor. Ten years later, his father died and eleven year-old Erwein became the 4th Count of Schönborn-Buchheim.
