(f ´l p fürst ts oi´l n-b rkh) (KEY) , 1847–1921, German diplomat, friend and confidential adviser of Emperor William II. He served (1894–1902) as ambassador to Austria-Hungary, but it was his role as intermediary between the emperor and his government that made him important. In 1906 a scandal seriously damaged his reputation and indirectly weakened respect for the government. A famous raconteur and a dilettante composer, Eulenburg also left memoirs. | 1 | | See biography by J. Haller (2 vol., tr. 1930, repr. 1971). | 2 |
