Hubert Salvator was the second son of Franz Salvator of Austria-Tuscany and his wife Marie Valerie of Austria , daughter of Emperor Franz Joseph I. In 1926 he married Rosemary zu Salm-Salm at Burg Anholt in Westphalia , with whom he had 13 children.

First World War

During the First World War he served as a first lieutenant and Rittmeister in Dragoon Regiment No. 4 . He took part in trench warfare at Bug and Dubno . Then he was riding orderly officer with the 9th Mountain Brigade Command in the Dolomites . In 1914 Hubert Salvator received the Order of the Golden Fleece .

From September to November 1917, he was commissioned by Emperor Charles I , together with the orientalist Alois Musil , the Austrian Orient mission to Asia Minor , Syria and Palestine . The mission should protect the interests of the monarchy, especially in competition with the ally Germany , in the Ottoman Empire . Habsburg held the "representative management" of the mission, the head of the mission was the specialist Musil. The mission, officially sent to inspect troops and maintain contact with Ottoman officials and oriental Christians, also served the “dream” of Emperor Charles of a “religious protectorate of the Habsburgs in the Orient”. Karl wanted to take over the religious protectorate of France over the oriental Christians. The mission had economic, scientific-cultural and propaganda motives, while the military aspect was only a cover.

The experienced Austrian ambassador to Constantinople János von Pallavicini , who had tried in vain to prevent the mission because he feared conflicts with the Ottoman government, subsequently ruled that the Archduke had correctly grasped the situation in Palestine and Syria. Field Marshal Lieutenant Joseph Pomiankowski , kuk military plenipotentiary in the Ottoman Empire, remarked that Hubert Salvator made the best impression due to his very sympathetic appearance, his modest, amiable demeanor and his calm seriousness .

After the end of Austria-Hungary

Imperial villa Bad Ischl

After the end of the Habsburg monarchy , Hubert Salvator issued a waiver under the Habsburg law in 1919 and was therefore allowed to stay in Austria. In 1920 he received his doctorate from the University of Innsbruck for Dr. jur. Apparently excluded from the Order of the Golden Fleece because of the waiver, he and his father were reinstated in November 1922.

Hubert Salvator successfully managed a large forest enterprise in Persenbeug . Because of its extensive holdings, it was nicknamed "Schleusen-Hubsi". In 1924 he inherited the imperial villa in Bad Ischl from his mother . In the First Republic and in the time of Austrofascism , Habsburg was a high functionary of the Home Guard as a Gauführer . He was politically persecuted during the Nazi era .

During the Russian occupation after World War II , Habsburg was the chairman of the Persenbeug community committee . He lived and eventually died at Persenbeug Castle, which he owned together with eight other members of the Habsburg family.
