biography

Otto von Guggenberg was born in 1887 as the fourth son of the politician and health resort doctor Otto von Guggenberg . After studying law at the Universities of Vienna and Innsbruck , he returned to Brixen. During the First World War he served as an artillery lieutenant on the southern front .

In 1919 von Guggenberg and Walter Lutz were sent to Bern , where they were entrusted with the task of influencing diplomats from the Entente, newspaper correspondents and influential personalities in order to prevent the annexation of South Tyrol by Italy . These efforts were ultimately in vain. After the Italian government had denied him entry for a long time, he was only able to return home in 1925. As a result, he took care of the management of the family property.

After the end of the Second World War , von Guggenberg was appointed Vice Mayor of Brixen in 1945, but he resigned this office in 1946 after differences with the Italian prefect. In the same year, together with Friedl Volgger, he represented South Tyrolean interests at the Paris Peace Conference , during which the Gruber-De-Gasperi Agreement was concluded. From 1947 to 1952 he acted as state secretary of the South Tyrolean People's Party (SVP), from 1952 to 1954 as its chairman. From 1948 to 1958 von Guggenberg represented his party as a member of the Chamber of Deputies in the Italian Parliament .
