Life and assassination
Josef Ettenreich was the son of an innkeeper of the same name. He first became a butcher and later traded in oats, which made him rich. In 1845 he retired into private life. On February 18, 1853, as was his custom, he went for a walk to the Kärntnertor Bastion . He witnessed how the tailor János Libényi tried to stab the emperor. Ettenreich intervened vigorously and, together with Colonel Maximilian Graf O'Donnell , who accompanied the emperor, was able to repel the assassination attempt.
In gratitude for this, the Kaiser personally presented him with the Franz Joseph Order on February 20 . On April 23, 1853 he was ennobled as "Knight of Ettenreich". On February 25th he had already received the great gold Salvator Medal of the City of Vienna. Ettenreich was later elected director of the Erste Österreichische Spar-Casse .
Ettenreich is buried in the Helenenfriedhof in Baden near Vienna .
progeny
Ettenreich's only child, his daughter Barbara (born January 18, 1830 in Vienna; † January 7, 1908 ibid) married Robert Neumann von Spallart (born July 4, 1825 in Vienna; † July 6, 1880 ibid) on April 18, 1854 , to which Ettenreich's knighthood had been transferred with the imperial approval. This gave rise to the noble family Ritter Neumann-Ettenreich von Spallart.
Josef Ettenreich's grandson, Robert Neumann-Ettenreich , permanent reporter at the Austrian Constitutional Court , died at the age of 69 on March 27, 1926 in Vienna. His son was the physicist, radio pioneer and inventor Robert Ettenreich (1892–1951). He was born with Elisabeth (Liesi).
