Born at Prague on 24 January 1844 into an ancient noble House of Schönborn, he was the fourth son of Count Erwein Damian Hugo von Schönborn (1812–1881) and his wife, Countess Christina Maria Josefa von Brühl (1817–1902), granddaughter of Count Alois Friedrich von Brühl.[1]

His paternal grandparents were Count Friedrich Karl Joseph von Schönborn and his wife, Baroness Maria Anna von Kerpen (younger daughter of Baron Wilhelm Lothar Maria von Kerpen and sister to Baroness Maria Charlotte Karolina von Kerpen (1782-1841), the wife of Ferdinand, 5th Prince Kinsky of Wchinitz and Tettau).[2]

Schönborn served as the 5th Bishop of České Budějovice from 1883 to 1885, 28th Archbishop of Prague from 1885, and was created Cardinal-Priest of Santi Giovanni e Paolo in 1889.[3]
