Ladislaus von Szögyény-Marich
Ladislaus von Szögyény-Marich von Magyar-Szögyen and Szolgaegyháza (born November 12, 1841 in Vienna , † July 11, 1916 in Csór , Fejér County ) was an Austro-Hungarian diplomat.
Life
Szögyény, who came from an old Hungarian noble family, was born in 1841 as the son of the later Hungarian Judex curiae Ladislaus von Szögyény. After studying in Vienna, Szögyény joined the administrative service in his home county Stuhlweissenburg in 1861 . After eight years of administrative work there, he was elected to the Hungarian Reichstag in 1869 . There he joined Sennyey's party and later the Liberal Party. In 1882, Szögyény gave up his parliamentary activity to move to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Vienna.
In 1884 he was accepted into the Order of the Golden Fleece .
In the Foreign Ministry, Szögyény acted as the second section head and finally as the first section head with responsibility for the great powers, before he took over the Hungarian ministry at the court camp in December 1890 as the successor to Baron von Ordzy. At the same time, Szögyény took care of the inspection of the estate of the late Crown Prince Rudolf , whose special trust he had enjoyed.
After visiting Emperor Franz Joseph in Gödöllő in October, Szögyény was sent to Berlin in October 1892 as the Austro-Hungarian ambassador . There he also held the post of ambassador for the individual German states of Prussia , Mecklenburg-Schwerin , Mecklenburg-Strelitz , Oldenburg and Braunschweig . The end and climax of his Berlin mission were the events of the July crisis in 1914, when he received the so-called “ blank check ” that the imperial government handed over to the Austrian leadership ( Mission Hoyos ) and witnessed the outbreak of the First World War . He then returned to his homeland, where he died two years later.
