Biography
The eldest son of Prince Otto von Bismarck .
In the campaign of 1870-1871 he served in dragoons and was wounded near Mar la Tour .
After the war, he chose the diplomatic field and quickly made a career, consisting of embassies in Rome, London and St. Petersburg and the plenipotentiary minister in The Hague.
In 1881, Herbert von Bismarck’s romance with married Princess Elizabeth zu Carolat-Beiten attracted public attention. Herbert's father strongly opposed the formalization of relations between lovers, threatened his son with deprivation of inheritance and even suicide, and achieved a break between the lovers.
In 1885 he was made Assistant Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in 1886 Secretary of State, and in April 1888 Minister of Foreign Affairs. In some cases, Count Herbert had to replace his father, Prince Bismarck. With the resignation of the prince and his son left the civil service.
Since 1893 he was a deputy of the Reichstag, where he did not belong to any party ("wild"), but defended a conservative-agrarian policy; fought with Caprivi . In 1898, he inherited the princely title (but not the title of the Duke of Lauenburg, which was personally granted to Prince Bismarck).
