the emperor and his inheritance

Franz Joseph I was born on August 18, 1830 in Schönbrunn Castle and ruled as Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary and King of Bohemia from 1848 to 1916. With a reign of almost 68, he was one of the longest -acting rulers of the 19th and 20th centuries. His rule was characterized by political upheavals, including the creation of the double monarchy of Austria-Hungary and the outbreak of the First World War after the murder of his heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand in 1914.

Franz Joseph was considered the kind older gentleman and was often perceived as a father, despite the political difficulties with which he was confronted. He died of pneumonia on November 21, 1916 and was buried in the imperial crypt in Vienna. His death was considered a harbinger of the end of the monarchy in Austria in 1918, which fell after the turbulent events of the First World War. The objects now to be auctioned are not only material values, but also keys to one of the most fascinating chapters in European history.
