Life

Anton August Graf von Attems-Gilleis was born as the son of Hermann Eduard Graf von Attems (1800–1874) and Leopoldine Freiin von Gilleis (1807–1875), Lady of the Cross . He married on July 8, 1858 in the parish church to the Scots Maria Countess zu Hardegg (1836-1906), the older sister of the future Prince Grand Prior Fra 'Rudolf zu Hardegg on Glatz and in the Machlande (1851-1939).

As a member of the large estates in the Reichsrat , he originally belonged to the conservative-clerical-feudal group, but voted with those who were loyal to the constitution. He was therefore able to hold his mandate in 1871 even under constitutional superiority in large estates and was re-elected to the Reichsrat in 1873 under the power of the curia .
