THE HOUSEof HABSBURGHABSBURG

In the late Middle Ages, Swiss CountRudolph von Habsburg married the daughter ofCount Burkhard III of Hohenberg becoming animportant vassal in the domains of old German Tribes,increasing his importance through his wife’s valuableestates and thus founding The House of Habsburg.Through similarly smartly arranged marriages, his heirsevolved their status until The House of Habsburgbecame one of the most powerful dynasties in thehistory of Europe. Count Rudolph’s sons began asix-century-long succession as Dukes and Archdukesof Austria and, after five generations, his descendentsbegan a hereditary line of 19 Holy Roman Emperorscreating a family tree which traces their lineage toKings of Bohemia and Hungary as well as the Romans.These strategic unions allowed them to acquireterritories spanning from Portugal to Poland, from theMediterranean to the North Sea and, at one time,the Habsburgs even controlled Spain’s interests inthe Americas.

From their seat of power in the inspiring classicalcity of Vienna, The Habsburgs’ cultural influenceflowed out to their vast empire. The Reign of EmpressMaria Theresa, from 1740 until the 19th century,brought one of the most fascinating chapters ofAustrian art and architecture—Baroque to art deco(Jugensdstil). Fashion became an art form, where each“tracht” identified a person’s social, marital andtrade status. Today, the Habsburgs’ Viennese influenceis prevalent throughout the heart of Central Europeand perhaps the greatest of the Empire’s legacies arosein the sonorous notes of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,Ludwig van Beethoven and Johannes Strauss,

whose music has continuedto resound through

the centuries.
