Joachim, Count of Schönburg-Glauchau (German: Joachim Heinrich Maria Carl Rudolf Franz Xaver Joseph Antonius Christophorus Hubertus Alfons Graf von Schönburg-Glauchau; 4 February 1929 in Glauchau, Saxony – 29 September 1998 in Passau, Bavaria) was the nominal successor head of the former mediatised German Counts of Schönburg-Glauchau until 1945. Dispossessed and expelled from his homeland in 1945, he and his family migrated to the Rhineland, where he was an author and journalist. After the fall of the Berlin wall, he returned to his homeland, represented the district in the Bundestag, and served in local government.
He grew up in the idyllic setting of Wechselburg (51°0′11″N 12°46′36″E / 51.00306°N 12.77667°E) in the Zwickauer Mulde river valley, about 25 kilometers north of Chemnitz. The Schönburg family had occupied the Schloss Rochsburg there since 1637. His parents were Count Friedrich Carl von Schönburg-Glauchau, born 26 July 1899 in Wechselburg and died 12 April 1945 in the defence of Breslau, and Countess Maria Anna Baworów-Baworowska (1902–1988). He was the second of their eight children.
