He was born on 2 February 1848 in Regensburg, Kingdom of Bavaria.[1][2]
Family
Paul, one of his elder brothers, was an intimate friend and aide-de-camp of King Ludwig II of Bavaria.
Marriage
On 8 September 1877, Gustav married Princess Karoline of Thurn and Taxis, daughter of Hugo Maximilian Prince of Thurn and Taxis and Almeria Countess of Belcredi, in Lautschin, Austria-Hungary. The couple did not have any children.
Later life
From 1882 to 1888, he was Bezirkshauptmann of Bregenz, Vorarlberg, Austria-Hungary, where he died at the age of 66 on 9 July 1914.
