Richard Freiherr Drasche von Wartinberg (born March 18, 1850 in Vienna ; † July 3, 1923 there ) was a major Austrian industrialist who also worked as an Asian researcher and painter .

Life

Richard was the son of the brick industrialist Heinrich von Drasche-Wartinberg , who had made the Wienerberger brick company one of the leading companies of its kind in Austria during the founding period in Vienna . Drasche was geologically formed.

Obituary

In addition to his work as head of the brick factories, he went on his first study trip in 1873 , which took him to the far north to Spitzbergen . 1875–1876 followed another, extensive study trip to the Indian Ocean and East Asia , where he studied the volcanoes on the then largely unknown islands of Réunion , Mauritius and Luzon . He donated 754 well-documented rock samples from this trip to the Natural History Museum Vienna , where they are stored in the petrographic collection. Another geological expedition took Drasche to Japan . In 1878 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .

On June 18, 1881 he bought the Bohemian manor of Pardubice with Kunburg for 2,080,000 guilders from his father's inheritance. In 1882 he had the Ráby hunting lodge built on Kunietitzer Berg . In 1892 he had a family mausoleum built in the Inzersdorf cemetery , which still exists today. Richard von Drasche-Wartinberg was a sponsor of the Pardubitz Museum Association, to which he leased the Kunburg in 1917 and transferred it in 1920. After the establishment of Czechoslovakia , on the basis of Act No. 215/1919 Sb on the confiscation of large estates, he lost all Bohemian real estate.

In 1884 he was raised to the status of Austrian baron by Emperor Franz Joseph I and received an improvement in the coat of arms . His descendants live on Gut Ebreichsdorf near Vienna.
