Palais Augarten - "a place of recreation" for Archduke Otto
Hierarchies, pecking orders, family traditions also determined the homes of family members. Yet why was Archduke Otto in the Augarten comfortabler living than the heir to the throne?
The site on which there is the Palais Augarten until today, served the Habsburgs yet at the beginning of the 17th Century as a hunting ground. Joseph II bought the site together with the palace and had thereon expanded this. In the same year, in 1775, he made his nickname of "people's emperor" all honor and made the park accessible to the population. "All people dedicated Erlustigungs (enjoyment) site of their cherisher," the Regent let, as there is still read today, write for the occasion on the front gate of the Augarten.
From 1860 to 1863, the brother of Franz Joseph Karl Ludwig lived in the Augarten Palace. 1867, High Steward Konstantin Prince Hohenlohe moved to the Augarten. Under him, and especially thanks to his wife, the estate has developed into a cultural center frequented by famous people such as Richard Wagner, Franz Liszt and Hans Markart. End of the 19th Century Franz Joseph assigned his nephew Archduke Otto the palace together with his own royal household, royal kitchen and Lipizzaners as to residence. Otto lived so comfortabler than his older brother Franz Ferdinand, who was, after the death of Crown Prince Rudolf in 1889 the heir to the throne, after all. But him was only assigned the Palais Modena in Vienna Herrengasse. Why?
Franz Ferdinand suffered from tuberculosis, so it was a long time uncertain whether he would actually be able to succeed to the throne. Franz Joseph, his potential successor had a distant relationship, only too happy to involve his favorite nephew Otto increasingly in the business of government in order to relieve the sick brother. It was obvious that Francis Joseph had the charming Otto preferred as successor. But Franz Ferdinand recovered from his illness. The old order of succession was thus already restored, when in 1899 the Palais Augarten has been extensively renovated and expanded for Otto. There he devoted himself to his favorite hobbies, to painting and photography, before he died at the age of 41. His son, Archduke Carl Franz Joseph was as Charles I the last Emperor of Austria.
Where once Archduke Otto had lived settled in 1923 the famous Augarten porcelain manufactory. In addition, live, learn and play music since 1948, the Vienna Boys Choir here. A place of amusement, as it Joseph II had wished for himself and to which it also made Otto with his cheerful way of life, the Augarten is today.
