Live and act

Josef von Doblhoff was the nephew of Anton II Baron von Doblhoff-Dier (1800–1872). He first attended the Vienna Schottengymnasium and from 1863 studied law at the University of Vienna . Before he finished his studies, Uncle Anton placed him in the Lower Austrian Lieutenancy . In 1868, after successfully passing the third state examination, he moved to the Foreign Ministry , where he was “only” a provisional attaché in Bern because of careless statements in the liberal sense . In 1870 he decided to renounce diplomatic and any civil service and move into the world .

This was followed by trips, sometimes combined with longer stays, to Venice , Rome , Pompeii , Berlin , Switzerland , Spain , Egypt , Greece and New York . When Doblhoff wanted to extend his trip to New York to go around the globe , he received news of the death of his uncle, Anton (II.) Von Doblhoff-Dier. The planned trip around the world (with the dream destination East Asia ) could therefore only be started in the autumn of 1873. Doblhoff's travel companion, Julius Ritter von Blaas (1845–1922), like his father, Karl von Blaas , a trained painter, documented the expedition with a pencil. - Doblhoff's three-volume travel report, diary sheets from a trip to East Asia , appeared in 1874-75 and contained the oil sketches and photographs made by Blaas. In 1881 the work was revised under the title From the Pyramids to Niagara. A journey around the world reissued, including with zincographed drawings by Doblhoff.

Josef von Doblhoff was very committed to the preservation of cultural assets and was one of the first to advocate the creation of a monument protection law in what was then Austria-Hungary . He also founded the two associations Carnuntum (1884) and Scientific Club (1876).

From 1883 Doblhoff, following his interests, was employed at the library of the Salzburg Museum . In 1884, after the birth of his second son, Richard, the family moved to Salzburg.

After the death of his wife in 1899 and his second marriage in 1900, Doblhoff lived in his own house at Weihburggasse 10, Vienna-Innere Stadt , which he exchanged in 1910 for the property at Währinger Strasse 119, Vienna-Währing . 

In 1919 Josef von Doblhoff suffered a stroke. After the event had been repeated two more times, the couple lived in Haanschen Haus , Rotenturmstrasse 14, Vienna-Innere Stadt  - where Doblhoff died on March 9, 1928. 

Josef Freiherr von Doblhoff was buried to rest in the family grave at St. Helena cemetery , Baden near Vienna .

After the death of Robert Doblhoff and his wife, in 1960 and 1961, came in 1962 the estate of Josef Doblhoffs to the Baden Rollettmuseum  - the objects from this bequest in 1990 in the special Joseph Freiherr von Doblhoff, a world traveler from Baden 1873/74 presented , a show that was later shown in the Austrian Museum of Folklore .

Marriages and offspring

From 1875 Josef von Doblhoff was married to Antonie Freiin von Haan (1847–1899) for the first time, and from 1900, his second marriage, to the pianist Mathilde Stohl (1866–1939). The first marriage came from the two sons Robert (1880-1960) and Richard von Doblhoff (1884-1934). 

Robert von Doblhoff grew up in Salzburg, studied painting with Siegmund L'Allemand at the Vienna Art Academy , went on a trip around the world like his father, and in 1910 also honeymooned with his wife Hertha, born Schrack (1886–1961), sister of Eduard Schrack . The marriage remained childless. 

Richard von Doblhoff served in the Austro-Hungarian Navy , where he was promoted to corvette captain. From [1910] he was married to Sophie Grübl (1888–1970), daughter of Raimund Grübl , 1894–95 mayor of Vienna. Two children emerged from this community: Henriette von Doblhoff (1911–2002), a grammar school teacher for mathematics with a doctorate in 1935 , and Raimund von Doblhoff (1914–1993), from 1945 an architect in Augsburg .
