Jean de Turckheim was the oldest son of Baron Jean de Turckheim (1707–1793) and a brother of Bernard-Frédéric de Turckheim.[citation needed] His nephew, Jean-Frédéric de Turckheim, was the eighth mayor of Strasbourg.[citation needed]
He was elected as a deputy of Strasbourg to the Estates-General in 1789.[1] Initially supportive of the revolution, he became disenchanted with its goals after the violence of July and August 1790 and became convinced that the unrest was part of a broader plan to overthrow the king and establish a radical republic.[2] After a short term as mayor of Strasbourg, he left France, and offered his services to the Duke of Hesse, whom he served for several years, in particular as envoy to Rome. He died in Altorf (Ettenheim), in the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1824.[3]
