Early life and ancestry

Born as the tenth child and sixth son of Wolfgang Fugger von Reh (1519/20–1568) and his wife, Margarethe Tetzel, whose family were part of Patriciate of the Imperial City of Nuremberg. He was the last surviving member of this branch of the Fugger family.

His grandfather, Gastel Fugger (1475–1539), was the one awarded with a patent of nobility. Johann Christoph Fugger had no descendants.
