Johann Loschek

Johann Loschek (born July 15, 1845 in Wiener Neustadt , † February 13, 1932 in Kleinwolkersdorf ) was the valet of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria-Hungary .

Life

Johann Loschek entered court service on November 16, 1863 and was appointed chamberlain (valet) by Crown Prince Rudolf in 1883.

He was present at the Mayerling Hunting Lodge on January 30, 1889 , when the shots rang out that resulted in the deaths of Mary Vetsera and Crown Prince Rudolf. Together with Josef Graf Hoyos-Sprinzenstein , he found the bodies of the two. He retired shortly after the incident.

In 1896 he acquired the former brewery in Kleinwolkersdorf and had large parts demolished in 1899 and rebuilt as a residential building in the style of the time. On January 19, 1928, he dictated the memories of the incident to his son of the same name, which were published on April 24, 1932 in the Neue Wiener Tagblatt . These differed in part from the previous representations.

Loschek has been portrayed in various films about the events in Mayerling, including in 2006 by Nikolaus Paryla in Crown Prince Rudolf's Last Love , in the film of the same name from 1956 by Karl Ehmann , in Mayerling (1968) by Bernard La Jarrige and in The Last Half Hour: The Mayerling Story by Martin Berliner . In the world premiere of the drama Mayerling by Franzobel at the Vienna Volkstheater in 2001, Loschek was played by Heinz Petters .
