Life

Katalin and Camillo Bregant 1950

She was born as the daughter of Ludwig Ritter von Fautz (1865-1936) in 1893 and grew up in Somogyszil south of Lake Balaton in the Kingdom of Hungary on a feudal administrator's residence. Her father was in the service of Count Hunyady over 40,000 hectares of property and a trotter horse breeding and she was the great niece of Ludwig von Fautz (1811-1880), Austrian admiral and naval commander.

In the early summer of 1914 on the occasion of the annual imperial maneuvers, her husband, who later became Major General Camillo Bregant , at that time still first lieutenant, was quartered in Szyl am Gut. After three years and a job as a Red Cross nurse in a convalescent hospital on the front in Galicia , they married on August 22, 1917. For the marriage license, the so-called “bail” had to be deposited by their father. This financial deposit went into a war loan and was irrevocably lost at the end of the war. The household was in the garrison town of Marburg an der Drau . The peace treaty for German Austria from St. Germain decreed the separation of Lower Styria and thus also Marburg to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia . With the relocation of the remains of the 5-er Dragoons to the large cavalry barracks in the St. Leonhard district, she and her husband moved to Graz.

In 1934, her husband was in the corporate state such as a major general. b. V. (for special use), as "notoriously loyal to the emperor", put into temporary retirement. After Austria was annexed to the German Empire , her husband was also z. b. V. posed because politically not trustworthy. The family was even deprived of the right to dispose of or “farmer's ability” over property in the community of Glanz an der Weinstrasse, and an administrator was appointed for the 24 hectare farm.

After the Second World War , Styria became the zone of occupation of the British . Because of her knowledge of English, she served as an interpreter for the British occupying forces. This set up a mobile Red Cross service with military medical vehicles (at the end of the war, only a large cart was available for patient transport). In 1947 the Styrian Red Cross was founded with Arnold Wittek as President and Katalin Bregant as Vice President (1947–1973). In addition, she organized holiday stays for Styrian children in Switzerland (“chocolate trains”), which she herself accompanied several times. She was also active in a leading position in 1956 in the context of the relief operations for Hungarian refugees , where she was able to use the Hungarian mother tongue. Later she was also involved in social care for the population in the Styrian border districts (especially in the Leibnitz district on the Styrian border with the then Republic of Yugoslavia ). In 1973 she resigned from her position, but made her experience available to the Executive Committee well into old age.
