  ## Life
  
  Born in Düsseldorf, he was the fifth child but second son of Philip William, Elector Palatine and Landgravine Elisabeth Amalie of Hesse-Darmstadt.
  
  Since his older brother Johann Wilhelm was to succeed his father in all the secular offices, he was destined for the church. Wolfgang Georg was appointed Auxiliary bishop of Köln and later elected Prince-Bishop of the Diocese of Breslau (Wrocław); however, he suddenly died before the coming election by a papal audience in Rome, one day before his 25th birthday in Wiener Neustadt.
  
  He was buried in the Hofkirche in Neuburg an der Donau. His grave stone still exists in the St. George Cathedral of Wiener Neustadt. In his place, his younger brother was Franz Ludwig appointed Prince-Bishop of Breslau.
