a historical connection of great importance

Away from the grief for the deceased, there are also bright spots in history: The relationship between Archduke Johann and Anna Plochl, which began in 1819, shows the social challenges and triumph of connections between noble and bourgeois. This relationship, which lasted over more than two decades, was considered exceptionally resilient, although it was not officially recognized. The historical report of habsburger.net emphasizes that the archduke, filled by the desire for a legitimate marriage, was finally given the permission of the emperor to get married.

Although this wedding was not accompanied by great ceremony, the course of events shows the changeability of traditions and the power of love. True to the customs, the relationship was initially only allowed as 'housekeeping'. Anna was only officially recognized years later as his wife, which was an outcry in the aristocratic circles of Vienna. The couple thus falls into the history books because it exceeded the limits of social classes and could defy these old norms.
