Friedrich Karl Emanuel Hauke
Friedrich Karl Emanuel Hauke (Mainz, 4 October 1737 – Warsaw, 18 June 1810) was the son of Ignatius Hauke (1705–1784) and Baroness Maria Franziska Riedesel zu Eisenbach (1718–1785), daughter of Baron George XX Riedesel zu Eisenbach.
Friedrich's brother, Peter Anton, was a canon at the Mainz Cathedral. From a young age, Friedrich worked as a secretary to the family of the Counts of Brühl, living alternately in Seifersdorf, in Saxony, and Warsaw. In 1785 Count Aloys Brühl moved permanently to Saxony, while the Haukes, whose children became attached to Warsaw, remained in the Poland. Friedrich first taught at the Crown Artillery School, then he ran an exclusive private school for boys, attended by the sons of the rich nobility. In 1807 he accepted the post of Professor of German and Mathematics at the Warsaw Lyceum, where he remained until his death.
In 1773, he married Maria Salomé Schweppenhäuser (1751–1833). Among their children include general Johann Moritz Hauke, father of Julia, Princess of Battenberg (1825–1895). Through Julia, Friedrich is a direct ancestor of the British and Spanish royal families.
