His uncles Friedrich Werner Count von der Schulenburg (German ambassador to the USSR) and Fritz-Dietlof Count von der Schulenburg were among the high-ranking German officers who were executed by hanging for their central roles in the July 20, 1944 assassination plot against Adolf Hitler. His grandfather Maximilian Count von der Schulenburg was executed somewhere in Poland. His body was never discovered.
