Johann Anton Ernst von Schaffgotsche was the youngest son of Johann Ernst Schaffgotsche and Johann Nepomucen von Blümegen (nephew of Hermann Hannibal von Blümegen, bishop of Bohemia in 1763-1774). He was the nephew of Johann Prokop von Schaffgotsche's first Czech bishop.

He studied philosophy in Vienna, then theology in Brno, where he was ordained priest on 8 September 1827. He worked in Šternberk and Velke Dyjákovice (from 1829 as an administrator, from 1831 as pastor). In 1837 he became an Olomouc canon without a residency requirement. On March 25, 1838, he became the parish priest of St. Maurice in Olomouc. In 1839 he became the bishop of Aureliopolis and the auxiliary bishop of Olomouc. He was ordained Bishop on October 20, 1839 in Kromeriów. In the same year he became director of the Theological Studies at the University of Olomouc.

In 1848, together with the Olomouc Metropolitan, Maximilian Josef Sommerau-Beckh issued a letter on the freedom of the church. He set up a lower seminary. In the years 1859-1862 it led to the settlement of the borders of the Diocese of Brna and Olomouc. Vyškov and Boskovice decaffeinated. The other was attached to the Diocese of Brno.

In 1852, in the Moravian Church, Swedish princess Karolina Vasa was admitted to the Roman Catholic Church, later to Saxony's wife, Albert Vitaly. Two years later the baptism of his hands was accepted by the mother of Princess Luisa Badeńska (wife of Prince Gustav Vasa).
