Montenuovo
The Monte Nuovo were a nobility - and princely family in the Austrian Empire , the male line of the Frankish - Swabian Count of Neipperg and the female line of the Imperial House of Habsburg-Lorraine came. The sex died out in the male line in 1951.
history
The Montenuovo come from the relationship between Archduchess Marie-Louise of Austria, Duchess of Parma and Piacenza (1791–1847) and Adam Albert Reichsgraf von Neipperg (1775–1829).
The von Neipperg family worked for the Imperial House of Habsburg-Lorraine for several generations after Eberhard Friedrich von Neipperg converted to Catholicism in the 17th century . He reached high offices in the imperial administration and his son Wilhelm Reinhard von Neipperg (1684–1774) was raised to the rank of imperial count in 1726 . Although the importance of the Neipperg in the ancestral areas in southwest Germany decreased due to the political changes of the early 19th century, the social position of the descendants of their Austrian sidelines in the service of the Habsburg monarchy increased when Adam Albert von Neipperg (1775-1829) on the Congress of Vienna 1815 represented the interests of Marie-Louise of Austria , the daughter of Emperor Franz II and the separated wife of the French Emperor Napoleon I Bonaparte, as the owner of the Grand Duchy of Parma and became her lover. After the death of his wife and the death of Napoleon on May 5, 1821, Adam Albert von Neipperg entered into a morganatic marriage with Archduchess Marie-Louise in 1821 , which legitimized their children with him.
Marie-Louise's relationship with Neipperg resulted in four children (see genealogy) who, after their parents got married, received a count's diploma from the Duchy of Parma with the name Montenuovo , an Italian translation of Neuberg or Neipperg . The surviving children were raised to the Austrian prince status on July 20, 1864 by Emperor Franz Joseph I. Emperor Franz Joseph was himself a cousin of these children, since Marie Louise was the sister of his father Archduke Franz Karl. As early as 1861, the head of the Montenuovo house had a hereditary seat in the manor house , the upper house of the Austrian Imperial Council . The Montenuovo belonged to the small circle of sixteen princely houses of the Austrian nobility that were not subject to mediatization .
Of the children of Marie-Louise with Adam Albert von Neipperg, Wilhelm Albrecht Prince of Montenuovo (1819–1895) became a general in the Imperial Austrian Army and married a daughter from the prestigious Hungarian noble family Batthyany-Strattmann . As a result of this marriage, the palace and park in Margarethen am Moos, west of Bruck an der Leitha in Lower Austria, came to the Montenuovo. Several children came from the marriage, of which Alfred Fürst von Montenuovo (1854–1927) served from 1909 to 1917 as chief steward of Emperor Franz Joseph I in the Vienna Hofburg . He was married to a born Countess Kinsky von Wchinitz and Tettau and had four children. With his son Ferdinand (1888–1951), the Montenuovo family became extinct in the male line.
After the end of the Montenuovo house, there is still a connection between the Franconian-Swabian Counts of Neipperg and the House of Habsburg-Lothringen: The current head of the Neipperg family, Karl-Eugen Graf von Neipperg (* 1951), is with Andrea Habsburg, a daughter of the last Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Otto , married.
possession
The Montenuovo had at least two residences in Vienna . The Palais Montenuovo in Löwelstraße 6 in the 1st district, which Juliana von Montenuovo bought in the middle of the 19th century and then rebuilt.
The Palais Montenuovo in Strauchgasse 1–3, the design of which was commissioned in 1864 for Wilhelm Albrecht von Montenuovo, also belonged to the family.
In Bóly (Deutsch-Bohl) in the south of Hungary the Montenuovo owned property and - together with the Batthyany-Strattmann - a family crypt.
coat of arms
On July 20, 1864, Count Montenuovo was elevated to the rank of prince. He was allowed to extend his previous coat of arms with that of his mother and late Empress Marie Louise and that of the Counts of Neipperg.
