Erwein Friedrich Karl was born at the Schönborn Palace in Göllersdorf, Lower Austria. 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.[1] 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).[2]
His father became the titular Count of Schönborn-Buchheim in 1844 when his brother, Erwein, resigned his rights in his favor.[5] Ten years later, his father died and eleven year-old Erwein became the 4th Count of Schönborn-Buchheim.[6]
