Dietrichstein family

[beladona]

That is true, no dynastic names. All children of Mercedes Dietrichstein married citizens of Argentina and their children have typical (?) spanish names.
Olga have with Josef Daubek four children. Till the beginning of WW2 they lived in Czech republic, where Josef died in 1935. Then they left Czech republic to Austria. I have no detailed information about children of Olga and their families, maybe some of her daughters fled for Argentina, but some members of family are still living in Austria.
Btw. Georg Doubek, brother of Josef, married a famous opera singer and actress Jarmila Novotna.

Marc, thanks for the beautiful pictures, I know only the last one of them. Prince Franz Joseph looks here very ugly and arrogant. Where are those pictures from? Do you know any pictures of Joseph (born 28.3.1798, died Friedland 10.7.1858), the only son of Prince Franz Joseph and Alexandra, born Shuvalova?

Norbert, thanks for info about the family of Princess Olga. I found on internet also one Joseph Daubek (born 1980) - maybe it is descendant of her?

I found some pictures on my other lap-top and I often google in search for them,so no specific site about Dietrichstein family :-(((

[beladona]

no specific site about Dietrichstein family, that is true.
I found on internet two graphics of count Moritz Dietrichstein (1775-1864). He married countess Therese Gilleis and had two children, Moritz (1801-52) and Julia (1806-83), married Oettingen-Wallerstein - I found no pictures of them.
Last male member of DIetrichstein family, count Moritz:

Should we add the Counts Mensdorf Pouilly to this site?

[beladona]

Sure, if you please:))...and do you mean the Dietrichstein-Mensdorff-Pouilly linie, which continued in Nicolsburg - descendents of ALexander Mensdorff Pouilly (1813-71) - or Mensdorff-Pouilly linie, descendents of his older brother Count Alphons (1810-94), owner of castle Boskovice in Moravia?

[Norbert]

Best start with Baron Emanuel de Pouilly cr 1818 Ist Count Mensdorff-Pouilly and husband of Pss Sophie of Saxe-Coburg . Originally from Nancy, I believe he had fled with his family from revolutionary France in 1795. Love to know more about their meeting and marriage. I presume he must have been quite wealthy to build Schloss Boskowitz in Moravia and for their  younger son Alexander to be a successful suitor for the  Dietrichstein's.

So here is Emanuel (1777-1852)


And Sophie, born Sachsen-Coburg-Saafeld (1778-1835)


I do not know much about their meeting and marriage. Should it be a love match? Sophie was oldest from four sisters and in 1804 all her sisters were married, Antoinette with duke Alexander Wurttemberg, Juliane with Grand duke Konstantin of Russia and Viktoria with Prince zu Carl Leiningen. Sophie was 26 year old. Maybe it was one of reasons for her to marry not very rich and „only“ Count Emanuel de Pouilly? (I think she and her family should view this marriage as morganatic.) Sophie and Emanuel had six sons – should we collect here informations about them and their portraits?
And just a small correction – castle Boskowitz was buildt by Count Franz Dietrichstein and his son Franz Xaver Dietrichstein. Mensdorff-Pouilly family inherited it with marriage of Alphons Mensdorff-Pouilly with Teresia Dietrichstein, daughter of Franz Xaver.

I read that Sophie after some time of her marriage lived in Mainz and although ''just'' a Countess,she was always reffered there as ''die Fuerstin''!

[beladona]
