Life

Arthur von Enzenberg attended high school in Innsbruck. After taking part in the Italian campaign of 1859, he began to study law at the University of Innsbruck . With Viktor von Ebner-Rofenstein he became active in the Corps Chinesia in 1860. When he was inactive , he moved to the Catholic University of Leuven , the University of Graz and the University of Vienna . In 1865 he was promoted to Dr. jur. PhD . After working as an intern at the Innsbruck Lieutenancy and the Ministry of the Interior and Culture, von Enzenberg became District Captain of Merano in 1875. In 1882 he was appointed Vice President of the Graz Lieutenancy. In 1885 he was appointed head of section in the Ministry of Culture and Education. In 1892 he retired. The Innsbruck Corps Rhaetia - traditional Chinese since 1913 - awarded him membership in 1914.

His special merit was the preservation of the castles and palaces of Tyrol including the family- owned castles Tratzberg and Campan. Due to his intervention, the princely castle in Merano was not torn down . For decades he was curator of the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum . He bequeathed his private collection of Tyrolean coins with a value of 60 million crowns to the Ferdinandeum. This represents the core of the state museum's coin collection.
