The Klinger mausoleum near the Kollmitz castle ruins near Raabs an der Thaya in Lower Austria is the burial place of the Klinger von Klingerstorff family. The mausoleum is a listed building ( list entry ).

Reason for establishment

During the First World War, Baron Klinger met the then Comtesse Sybille von Spiegelfeldt in the military hospital in Opava . The marriage entered into in 1916 had three children. In 1925 the baroness fell ill with a lung disease and moved to Meran to recover . There she met Cyrill Orlov, who was ten years her junior and came from Russia, and fell in love with him.

After her return to Raabs an der Thaya, she confessed this love to her husband, but after a discussion with her father in Vienna , she promised not to leave him. Nevertheless, they later met secretly in Vienna and also in Raabs.

On June 2, 1926, Cyrill Orlov met Baron Hugo Klinger von Klingerstorff in a forest near Raabs an der Thaya Castle to talk to him about the situation. There was an exchange of fire in which both parties were wounded and subsequently admitted to the hospital in Waidhofen an der Thaya .

The gendarmerie was supposed to take Sybille Klinger von Klingerstorff from the castle to the examining magistrate on 3 June for questioning, whereupon she committed suicide by shooting. On June 5, she was buried in the Raabs cemetery in Oberndorf. After the mausoleum was built, it was transferred there. Hugo Klinger von Klingerstorff was later buried there as well as their children.

Cyrill Orlov died on June 15, 1926 in the hospital in Waidhofen an der Thaya of pneumonia. He was buried in the cemetery in Waidhofen an der Thaya. His grave no longer exists. Baroness Elfriede Klinger von Klingerstorff died on June 13, 2020 and was buried in the Klinger mausoleum on June 25, 2020.
