Königswarter (noble family)
The barons of Königswarter are an Austro-Hungarian noble family of Jewish origin, whose name is derived from the Czech town of Königswart , from which the family originally came. The family worked in Fürth and Frankfurt am Main and later performed again in Austria-Hungary and Moravia.
history
The founder of the wealth of this family was the privileged wholesaler Moritz Königswarter (* 1780 - June 12, 1829 in Vienna). His son Maximilian Königswarter (1817–1878), a former deputy of the Seine department in the French legislature, became a Portuguese baron. His request for confirmation of this foreign title came because of the fall of Napoleon III. not to be dealt with. The sister of Baron Maximilian, Josephine (April 13, 1811 - May 14, 1861), married her cousin in 1829, the banker's son from Frankfurt am Main, Jonas von Königswarter (1807–1871), grandson of Jonas Königswärter, whose son had lived in Fürth Marx (Markus) had settled in Frankfurt am Main as a banker around 1824 .
Jonas was raised to the Austrian knighthood on March 25, 1860 in Vienna, and to the Austrian baron on October 26, 1870 there.
Hermann Freiherr von Königswarter , a grandson of Jonas, also received the Hungarian baronate on March 13, 1897 and the title "de Csabacsüd" on June 6, 1897.
Jonas Freiherr von Königswarter built a Ringstrasse palace in Vienna.
