Joseph was a son of Duke Friedrich von Sachsen-Hildburghausen (since 1826 Duke of Saxony-Altenburg) and his wife Charlotte von Mecklenburg-Strelitz. He was a member of the house of Saxony-Hildburghausen, which was renamed Haus Sachsen-Altenburg in 1826. His godfathers included Emperor Joseph II, Georg III. of Great Britain and King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia. The birth of the hereditary prince was greeted in Hildburghausen with a cannon thunder and the Freemason lodge shaped a commemorative coin on this occasion. Joseph was brought up by the Coburger Hofadvokat Friedrich August Scheler. Traditionally, the prince learned the craft of a carpenter. In 1806 Joseph began studying at the University of Erlangen at the request of his mother. On the occasion of the marriage of his sister Therese with the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig, he was admitted to the Hubertus Order in 1810. Joseph was employed on January 9, 1814 as a volunteer officer in the Prussian army and assigned to the lieutenant general of Kleist. Together with his brother Georg, he fought in the wars of liberation against France in 1814. As a major in the Guard-Ulanen Regiment, Joseph left active service on August 19, 1816. In November 1849 he was appointed head of the 19th infantry regiment and from May 31, 1859, held the rank as a general of the infantry. Joseph was also a Saxon Major General. On April 24, 1817, he married Duchess Amalie (1799\u20131848) in Kirchheim under Teck, daughter of Duke Ludwig von W\u00fcrttemberg.  Duke Joseph I of Saxony-Altenburg His father’s co-regent has been with his father, followed by Joseph after his death in 1834 as the Duke of Saxony-Altenburg. On behalf of his father, he renewed the Ducal Saxony-Ernestine house order together with the dukes Ernst I of Saxony-Coburg and Gotha and Bernhard II of Saxony-Meiningen. He performed several buildings in Altenburg, including the stall building, a castle guard, which he had on the castle church in a similar style and in 1841 he created a new princely crypt in the cemetery of Altenburg. In 1839 the French castle park was converted into an English landscape garden. The restoration of the Residenzschloss started under his father continued under Joseph. Joseph ruled conservatively and unwillingly. The state parliament sessions were not public and there was still guild twang, which inhibited industry and trade. Joseph favored ultra -chirch directions and called the country in 1848 because demands for a Free State became loud. He finally had to withdraw from the government during the bourgeois revolution in 1848, which was unique in the Thuringian countries. On November 30, 1848, two days after the death of his wife, he renounced, since he had no sons, in favor of his brother Georg the throne. In 1859 his son -in -law King Georg V. After his abdication, Joseph lived, especially at Castle, happy return in Wolfersdorf. He restored it thoroughly and saved it from the impending decay. Joseph supported artistic and scientific projects. At his expense he had some paintings restored in the town hall of Altenburg. At Froitliche Castle, he received his son -in -law on June 30, 1866 after the Battle of Langensalza, the King George V of Hanover, which has just been put off, who went to his Austrian exile from here. Joseph was so closely connected to Wolfersdorf that his heart was buried here on his favorite place. In his will he had: ” I wish to be burdened as little as possible. The funeral speech is supposed to say the truth, but are seriously ensured that I am not called up lying flattery, which I always hated in life and always kept me against them. ” [first]  Duke Joseph von Sachsen Altenburg in the circle of his family (painting by Joseph Karl Stieler, 1847\/48) With his wife Amalie, Joseph had six daughters: \u26ad 1843 King Georg V of Hanover (1819-1878) \u26ad 1852 Grand Duke Peter II of Oldenburg (1827\u20131900) \u26ad 1848 Grand Prince Konstantin of Russia (1827\u20131892) Pasch.: Joseph (Duke of Saxony-Altenburg) .
