Maria Henriette of Austria-Teschen, 1908

Maria-Henriette of Austria , with full name Maria Henriette Caroline Gabriele, Archduchess of Austria-Teschen , (born  January 10, 1883 in Preßburg , † September 2, 1956 in Mariazell ), was a Habsburg noblewoman.

Life

Maria-Henriette was the third daughter of Archduke  Friedrich von Österreich-Teschen  and  Isabella von Croÿ-Dülmen.  The couple had a total of eight daughters between 1879 and 1897 before their son Albrecht was  born in 1897  .

Until 1905, the family lived mainly in the  Grassalkovich Palace  in  Pressburg , spending the summers mostly on one of their numerous estates. Maria Henriette was also the couple's first child to be born in this palace. Your birth must have been a difficult one, because the baptism - according to Pressburger Zeitung - had to be postponed several times. However, on January 22nd, 1883, it was carried out - far too late, according to the customs of the time. The Preßburger Zeitung writes about it as follows:

Today at 1/211 o'clock in the morning the baptism of the newborn Archduchess took place in a solemn manner in the large hall of the Grassalkovich Palace, in which a large, splendidly decorated altar was erected. At 1/211 the hall doors opened, where archducal lackeys in gall uniforms were posted and the gleaming baptismal procession moved in, preceded by Sr. kuk Highness of Archduke Albrecht , followed by Archduke Rainer , Archduke Friedrich and the godmother of the newborn Archduchess , Archduchess Marie holding the person to be baptized in her arms. (...) Bishop Heiller , after the previous solemn speech, SUB INFULA and with the shepherd's crook, performed the baptismal act (...) The Archduchess-mother lived in an armchair, with the door open in the adjoining room, with the church activities.

Princess Maria-Henriette married Prince Gottfried Maximilian Maria zu Hohenlohe-Schillingfürst on June 3, 1908  . The wedding took place in the Gothic castle chapel of Weilburg Castle near Baden in Lower Austria . Emperor Franz Joseph I attended the wedding ceremony . as well as the entire courtyard. The blessing was carried out by the confessor of Emperor Franz Joseph by the Hofburg priest, Bishop Laurentius Mayer .

Henriette's husband was the son of Prince  Konstantin zu Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst  and  Marie zu Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst , née  Sayn-Wittgenstein , and nephew of the German  Chancellor  Chlodwig zu Hohenlohe-Schillingfürst . The husband Gottfried Maximilian was the Austrian ambassador in Berlin before the First World War.

Henriette von Österreich-Teschen died on September 2, 1956 in Mariazell and was buried there.
