A summary family history<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ducal House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is a branch of the German noble house of Wettin and has its ancestral seat in Coburg. Its progenitors ruled from 1423 to 1547 as Electoral Princes of Saxony and later as Dukes of Coburg. The Saxon duchy of Gotha was acquired in 1826 and since that time the family bears the name of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 19th century was the golden age of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. During that era, through diplomacy and shrewd marriage politics, it became one of the most significant European ruling dynasties up to the end of the monarchies in 1918.The \u201eCoburgs\u201c were closely related to almost all European princely families and furnished the sovereigns of four royal dynasties: Belgium, Portugal, Great Britain and Bulgaria.<\/p>\n

The House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha\u2019s family relations with Europe\u2019s ruling nobility came, in a large part, from Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and his wife, Queen Victoria of England. It is through their nine children and 42 grandchildren that the current dynastic lines of Great Britain and Coburg were continued. Furthermore, the progeny of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert also ruled in the German Empire, Russia, Romania, Yugoslavia, Greece, Spain, Norway, Sweden and Denmark \u2013 and still do today in the latter four. Please also see the attached PDF<\/a> for additional information.<\/p>\n

This spectacular family history of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is at home in Castle Greinburg and is highlighted in the Saxe-Coburg und Gotha Festive Rooms.<\/p>\n

The present head of the house of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is Prince Andreas. He descends from the British line established by his great great grandfather Prince Albert.<\/p>\n

Schloss Dreinburg \u2013 Historical overview<\/strong>
\n\"geschichte_seite\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

1488-1493<\/strong>
\nUnder the later Reichsfreiherr (Baron whose title has been confirmed upon him by the German king) of Stettenberg and Earls of Hardegg, Heinrich and Siegmund Pr\u00fcschenk, the Castle of Greinburg was erected between 1488 and 1493 as one of the first castles in the German- speaking region.<\/p>\n

1533<\/strong>
\nIn 1533 the Imperial Counsel, Burgvogt (Governor of a castle) of Enns and Landvogt (Governor of a territory) of Swabia, Johann Leble (L\u00f6bl), acquired the Castle. Under Leble (L\u00f6bl) the building received most of its present- day form. In 1621 the Castle of Greinburg was sold to the Earl Leonhard Helfrich of Meggau, who carried out basic changes. A three storeyed, columned arcade became the main feature for the appearance of the inner courtyard. Furthermore, under Meggau the Sala terrena (so-called stone theatre) was installed. In 1625 the “Rittersaal”, the Hall of Knights, and an adjoining chapel in the south west tower were redecorated. Anna of Meggau brought Castle and dominion of Grein into her marriage with her husband, Earl Ludwig Sigmund of Dietrichstein.<\/p>\n

1700<\/strong>
\nSince 1700 the owner of Greinburg was Earl Oktavian Karl of Carioni, who sold the Castle to Franz Ferdinand of Salburg and Prandegg in 1709.<\/p>\n

1810<\/strong>
\nIn 1810 the family of Dietrichstein became once again the owners of Greinburg, however they sold the estate in 1811 to Josef Fink, the Mayor of Hainburg.<\/p>\n

since 1822<\/strong>
\nThe Dukes of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha have been owners of the Castle only since 1822. In 1822 Duke Ernst III of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, who in 1826 became Ernst I. of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, also acquired the dominions of Aich, Prandegg, Kreutzen, Ruttenstein and Zellhof together with the dominion of Grein. The son of Ernst I., Duke Ernst II., was proprietor of the Castle of Greinburg from 1844 until 1893. After his death in 1893 Queen Victoria of England was also briefly the owner of Greinburg. Until this day the Castle has been inhabited by the ducal family. The Castle of Greinburg was chosen, for instance, by the Duchess Viktoria Adelheid as her summer residence. Her son, Prince Friedrich Josias, lived there permanently until his death.<\/p>\n

The building, which comprises four wings, houses the Coburg Rooms, which are the official rooms of the ducal family, as well as the Upper Austrian shipping museum.<\/p>\n

Jahrhunderts. Durch Diplomatie und geschickte Heiratspolitik war es bis zum Ende der Monarchie 1918 eine der bedeutendsten europ\u00e4ischen Herrscherdynastien. Die \u201eCoburger\u201c waren mit fast allen F\u00fcrstenh\u00e4usern eng verwandt und stellten die Regenten von vier K\u00f6nigsh\u00e4usern: Belgien, Portugal, Gro\u00dfbritannien und Bulgarien.\r\n\r\nDie Familienbeziehungen des Hauses Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha mit den europ\u00e4ischen K\u00f6nigsh\u00e4usern stammen gr\u00f6\u00dftenteils aus der Zeit von Prinz Albert von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha und seiner Frau, Queen Victoria von England. Durch ihre 9 Kinder und 42 Enkelkinder wurden die dynastischen Linien von Gro\u00dfbritannien und Coburg fortgef\u00fchrt. Au\u00dferdem regierten die Nachkommen von Queen Victoria und Prinz Albert auch im deutschen Kaiserreich, Russland, Rum\u00e4nien, Jugoslawien, Griechenland, Spanien, Norwegen, Schweden und D\u00e4nemark \u2013 und regieren noch heute in den vier letztgenannten L\u00e4ndern.

Unter Leble (L\u00f6bl) erhielt das Bauwerk weitgehend seine heutige Gestalt. 1621 wurde die Greinburg an den Grafen Leonhard Helfrich von Meggau ver\u00e4u\u00dfert, der grundlegende Umbauten durchf\u00fchren lie\u00df. Ein der Fassade vorgeblendeter dreigeschossiger\u00a0S\u00e4ulenarkadengang wurde pr\u00e4gend f\u00fcr das Erscheinungsbild des Innenhofes. Unter Meggau wurde ferner die Sala terrena (sog. Steinernes Theater) eingerichtet. 1625 kam es zur Neuausstattung des Rittersaales und einer daran anschlie\u00dfenden Kapelle im S\u00fcdwestturm. Anna von Meggau brachte ihrem Gemahl, dem Grafen Ludwig Sigmund von Dietrichstein, Schloss und Herrschaft Grein mit in die Ehe.\r\n\r\n1700<\/strong>\r\nSeit 1700 war Graf Oktavian Karl von Carioni Eigent\u00fcmer der Greinburg, der das Schloss 1709 an Franz Ferdinand von Salburg und Prandegg verkaufte.\r\n\r\n1810<\/strong>\r\nDie Familie von Dietrichstein war seit 1810 abermals im Besitz der Greinburg, verkaufte das Anwesen jedoch bereits 1811 an den B\u00fcrgermeister von Hainburg, Josef Fink.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\nseit 1822<\/strong>\r\n\r\nErst seit 1822 ist das Herzogliche Haus Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha Schlosseigent\u00fcmer. Zusammen mit der Herrschaft Grein erwarb Herzog Ernst III. von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld, seit 1826 Ernst I. von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha, 1822 auch die Herrschaften Aich, Prandegg, Kreutzen, Ruttenstein und Zellhof. Der Sohn Ernsts I., Herzog Ernst II. , war Schlossherr auf der Greinburg von 1844 bis 1893. Nach seinem Tod 1893 war kurzzeitig auch K\u00f6nigin Victoria von England Eigent\u00fcmerin der Greinburg. Bis heute wird das Schloss von der herzoglichen Familie bewohnt. So w\u00e4hlte beispielsweise Herzogin Viktoria Adelheid die Greinburg als Sommersitz. Ihr Sohn, Prinz Friedrich Josias, wohnte bis zu seinem Tod st\u00e4ndig dort.\r\n\r\nDie vierfl\u00fcgelige Anlage beherbergt neben den Repr\u00e4sentationsr\u00e4umen der Herzoglichen Familie, den\u00a0Herzoglichen Festr\u00e4umen, auch das Ober\u00f6sterreichische Schiffahrtsmuseum.","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-223","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.schloss-greinburg.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.schloss-greinburg.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.schloss-greinburg.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.schloss-greinburg.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.schloss-greinburg.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/www.schloss-greinburg.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/223\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2385,"href":"https:\/\/www.schloss-greinburg.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/223\/revisions\/2385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.schloss-greinburg.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
