Life

Philipp Grünne , son of Count Ferdinand von Grünne († 1779 as Austrian field marshal lieutenant), entered the imperial military service as a sub-lieutenant in 1782.

In 1794 he was appointed adjutant wing of Emperor Franz II. In the campaign of 1797 he was promoted to colonel and adjutant general of Archduke Karl . Promoted to major general in 1800 , he gained military fame , especially on May 10th, through the fortunate defense of Kempten, on which the preservation of the Tyrolean passports and the connection with the main Austrian army at Memmingen depended.

After the Battle of Hohenlinden , he concluded the armistice on December 15, 1800, which preceded the Peace of Lunéville . When the reorganization of the army began in 1804, Grünne became head of the Office of the War Ministry and, in this position, played an essential role in the major military reforms and restructuring of the time. In 1806 he was appointed owner of the 3rd Uhlan Regiment, in 1808 Lieutenant Field Marshal, and in 1809 head of the Generalissimo’s Chancellery.

After the battle of Wagram Grünne retired from active service and took over the position of chief steward of Archduke Karl (1771–1847) , which he held until his death.

In 1802 Philipp Graf von Grünne bought the Dobersberg and Illmau estates near Waidhofen an der Thaya , and in 1812 the Peigarten estate and relocated his official seat and the goods management to Dobersberg Castle . Since Grünne was not often in Dobersberg because of the coalition wars ( 1805 and 1809 ), he had leased the property until 1810. The manorial courts fell into such disrepair in those years that Count Grünne had to rebuild almost all of them after his return. He also had the palace gardens redesigned and spent considerable sums on it, but was pleased that this park was repeatedly praised as the most beautiful in the Waldviertel .

In 1817 he became general of the cavalry, and in 1836 he became a real secret councilor and chamberlain. In 1847 he was retired.

Grünne was married to Rosalie Freiin von Felz. Karl Ludwig von Grünne emerged from this connection .

Philipp Graf von Grünne, deceased in Bräunerstraße 10, Vienna I. , was buried in a temporary grave on January 28, 1854 in the General Währinger Friedhof until the crypt was completed.

On April 29, 1903, the Grünnes cemetery, which was closed in 1874, was exhumed and brought to the market town of Dobersberg for burial .
