By the will of his father (1680), Albrecht only received an
income from his older brother's lands. Without lands of his own, he spend most of his time with his wife's relatives in
Wertheim and converted to
Catholicism. As a member of the Fruitbearing Society, he received the surname
der Muntere (the cheerful one). In Wertheim on 22 June 1687, Albrecht married
Christine Therese of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort. They had two daughters: • Anna Christine (b. Wertheim, 17 July 1690 – d. Vienna, 5 March 1763) died unmarried and without issue. • Maria Auguste (b. Wertheim, 4 February 1692 – d. Wertheim, 15 February 1692) died in infancy.
