Archduke Johann Salvator von Habsburg comes from Bad Ischel in the heart of the Salzkammergut in Austira, and now resides in the Salzkammergut, lives in Traunkirchen and owns a hunting lodge that belonged to the Emperor in Offensee.
Here’s the historic lineage-His Great-grand parents were Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth. His Grandmother was the youngest daughter of the Emperor and Empress Marie Valerie. His Grandfather was Duke Franz Salvator Habsburg-Lothringen from the Tuscan line of the Habsburgs. His father, Hubert Salvator, was the third child of 10. His mother was Rosemary Princess of Salm-Salm. He is the 12th child of 13 and an Austrian Archduke. A royal designation that only exists in Austria, and that Rudolf IV, the writer, also had. Archduke is equivalent to Prince.
Editor’s Notes:
If the name isn’t ringing any bells, go back to the history of how the Great War began. And a further note-as KSC-UNK’s point man for all things international, Jerry Fox tried to get the hunting lodge onto the list of stops for a river cruise line. Alas, despite its connections to all that started the Great War, the cruise line turned it down. And of course-wouldn’t a Senior College course in Austrian place names be fun. Maybe the class prize could be a night at the hunting lodge.
