Life

Anton Anselm Capellini von Wickenburg Erbdrost von Neuhaus and Herr von Borganie (Silesia) joined the Electoral Palatinate Army , where he achieved the rank of General of the Cavalry . He also held the offices of Chamberlain and Privy Councilor under Elector Karl Theodor . On July 7, 1790, during the time of the imperial vicariate , he raised him from the baron to the hereditary imperial count and had already appointed him in 1788 as authorized minister (envoy) at the court of tsars in St. Petersburg . In 1797 he moved to Vienna in the same office , where he served until 1800 and died in 1813. There, shortly before his death, Emperor Franz II had confirmed that he was hereditary count for Austria.

Capellini von Wickenburg was married to Countess Lucia Maria von Hallberg (1765–1823), daughter of Heinrich Theodor von Hallberg († 1792), also an electoral ambassador to Vienna, the nephew of the former Electorate Chancellor Jakob Tillmann von Hallberg († 1744) and cousin of the explorer Theodor von Hallberg-Broich (1768–1862). Her son was the Austrian minister Matthias Constantin Capello von Wickenburg (1797-1880).

In 1809, Wickenburggasse in Vienna- Josefstadt (8th district) was named after Count Anton Anselm Capellini von Wickenburg , as he built the first property there that year.
