Maria Antonie Gabriele von Koháry
Maria Antonie Gabriele Koháry de Csábrág et Szitnya (* 2. July 1797 in Budapest ; † 25. September 1862 in Vienna ) was a Hungarian-Austrian magnate , heiress of the house Koháry and ancestress of the line of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-Koháry. Her son Ferdinand became King of Portugal in 1837, her grandson Ferdinand became King of Bulgaria in 1887 and her great-grandson Ferdinand I became King of Romania in 1914. She was also great-grandmother of the last King of Saxony, Friedrich August III.
Life
Antonie was born as the daughter of Count Ferenc József Koháry (1767-1826) and his wife Antonia Countess von Waldstein zu Wartenberg (1771-1854). Antonie's older brother died in 1797 at the age of five, and she thus became the heir to the wealthy Koháry family.
On January 2nd, 1816, she married Prince Ferdinand Georg August von Sachsen-Coburg in Vienna . In order to achieve their equality, Antonie's father was raised to the rank of prince by the emperor on November 15, 1815 as Prince Koháry de Csábrág et Szitnya, and Antonie became a princess. Antonie's extensive possessions in Lower Austria, Hungary and today's Slovakia with goods, forests, mines and factories covered more than 150,000 hectares and made the Coburgs one of the three largest landowners in Hungary up to the First World War.
After her marriage, she and her husband moved into the Palais Coburg at 7 Favoritenstrasse, where she lived until her death. Her youngest son Leopold then inherited the palace, who in 1865 sold it to Archduke Carl Ludwig, the younger brother of Emperor Franz Joseph. Since then, the palace has been named Palais Archduke Carl Ludwig . Antonie was the last landlady of Ebenthal Castle .
According to Harald Sandner, it has its final resting place in the ducal mausoleum in the Coburg cemetery on Glockenberg . However, some of her relatives are buried in a crypt in Kleinhadersdorf , a place in the town of Poysdorf in the Weinviertel. The Koháry family crypt is located in the Hronský Beňadik abbey church .
