Coudenhove-Kalergi (noble family)
_by_Hans_Makart_(840-1884).jpg)
Coudenhove-Kalergi is a Bohemian noble family.
Franz Karl von Coudenhove , whose family had been imperial counts since 1790, was married to Maria von Kalergi (1840–1877). Their son Heinrich Graf von Coudenhove-Kalergi was the first count to use the double name since 1903. On the paternal side, the Brabant Coudenhoves had received the title of nobility for participating in the crusade in 1099 and were able to look back seamlessly on their ancestor Gerolf, who died on March 3, 1259. The name Kalergi comes from the Byzantine - Cretan noble family of the same name (with the Callergi branch in Venice ). The Coudenhove inherited the important Franconian noble family von Erthal in 1805 .
In 1864, Count Franz Karl von Coudenhove acquired the entire west Bohemian property of Ronsperg ( Poběžovice ) with Wasserau and Bernstein, as well as the Stockau estate for one million guilders from Count Thun-Hohenstein . In 1869 he bought the rule Muttersdorf with Schwanenbrückl and Ottensheim Castle in Upper Austria as well as possessions in Hungary. Of these properties only Ronsperg and Stockau - later the widow's residence of Mitsuko with her children before she moved to Vienna and Mödling - remained in the family's property until 1945; the Muttersdorf estate was expropriated as part of the land reform in the 1st Czechoslovak Republic in the 1920s.
The related Coudenhove-Honrichs family owned Kunštát Castle and Dalečín Castle .
