About this person
The actual heir was his uncle Anton Florian, who was not very popular among the family. Therefore, Hans-Adam chose Josef Wenzel as his heir. He later decided to hand over the Principality in exchange for his getting the Dominion of Rumburk in 1718. 30 years later, he inherited Liechtenstein again after his nephew Prince Johann Nepomuk Karl died without male issue. As a military figure, Wenzel is known for his command of the Austrians at the Battle of Piacenza and also for the reorganization of the Austrian artillery with the new "Liechtenstein artillery system".
