family

Margarita von Boch is the second child and only daughter of doctoral lawyers and Croatian embassy Council Alfred Adam Maria Baron Rukavina of Vidovgrad (born January 1, 1907 in Belec; † 6 September 1969 in Buenos Aires), the last men on Castle Belec in Croatian Selnica (Međimurska županija), and his wife Franziska Countess von Clary and Aldringen (born October 15, 1919 in Rétfalu , † January 7, 2013 in Salzburg ). After the Second World War , the couple emigrated from the emerging Socialist Republic of Croatia to Argentina and married there in 1949. Their daughter Margarita was therefore born in South America and grew up there. Margarita von Boch has both Argentinian and German citizenship. Since 1975 she has been married to the economist, farmer and forester Eugen Alfred Leopold Pius Maria von Boch (born January 23, 1951), a great-great-grandson of the entrepreneur Eugen von Boch . The marriage produced three daughters.

Life

When Margarita Rukavina von Vidovgrad began her interpreting studies in Munich in the early 1970s, she met her future husband there in 1973. He worked for the family company Villeroy & Boch from 1975 to 2010 , at the end of the 1970s in Bordeaux in the south of France, most recently as director of the tableware division at the headquarters in Mettlach, Saarland . In the 8th generation he is a partner in Villeroy & Boch AG.

In the early 1980s they both settled in Saarland. Margarita von Boch subsequently decided to support disadvantaged Saarland children on a voluntary basis. In 1999 she founded a social project, Kinderhilfe Saar , which she has been chairwoman of since then. The registered association acts as a neighborly aid in order to be able to offer needy children medical, psychological or social support or musical support.

Award

At the suggestion of the Saarland Prime Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer , Margarita von Boch was honored with the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany on December 5, 2016, the International Day of Honorary Office , which was awarded to her by Federal President Joachim Gauck in Bellevue Palace in Berlin .
