Clemens Salvator of Austria-Tuscany (later: Habsburg-Lothringen , then Altenburg ; * October 6, 1904 at Wallsee Castle , Lower Austria ; † August 20, 1974 in Salzburg ) was an Austrian Archduke as a child and therefore a member of the Habsburg imperial family .

Life

The Archduke was baptized in the full name of Clemens Salvator Leopold Benedikt Antonius Maria Joseph Ignatius of Austria-Tuscany . Through his mother Marie Valerie (1868–1924) he was a grandson of Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary . His father, Archduke Franz Salvator (1866–1939), belonged to the Tuscany line of the Habsburgs, so his parents were second cousins. Clemens Salvator was their eighth child.

Clemens studied at the Stella Matutina Jesuit College in Vorarlberg. On February 20, 1930, he married Elisabeth Rességuier de Miremont (October 28, 1906– July 9, 2000), the daughter of Friedrich Bernard Rességuier de Miremont and the Countess Christiane von Wolkenstein-Trostburg . The marriage was not considered befitting. The couple had nine children.

On April 2, 1930, he applied for the name to be changed to "Altenburg", and in 1931 the family name Habsburg-Lothringen was changed with the approval of the Lower Austrian provincial government. With the inappropriate marriage and the subsequent name change, this branch of the family officially withdrew from the House of Habsburg.

He was a member of the Order of the Golden Fleece . Clemens Altenburg found his final resting place in the Aigen cemetery .

One of his grandchildren is the actor Leopold Altenburg (* 1971).
