Wolfgang-Ernst, Prince (Fürst) of Ysenburg and Büdingen is presented by the press as the lord of Schloss Büdingen in the Wetterau [1][2].

In 2004 WELT am Sonntag described Fürst Wolfgang-Ernst zu Ysenburg und Büdingen looking after the castle and park himself, with about 750 years of family history at Büdingen, and the hotel and event rooms used to help maintain it [1]. In September 2021 the Wetterauer Zeitung reported that he opened the 17th Landpartie garden festival on the castle grounds, alongside Fürstin Leonille [2].

Note on sources. These sources call him Fürst but do not explicitly call him head of the house. The year of birth (1936) comes from GOTHA's database (Wikidata Q2589017) only; these sources do not state it. The most recent source found dates from 2021; GOTHA has not found a later one.
