TheHouse of Liechtenstein (German:Haus Liechtenstein), from which theprincipality takes its name, is the family whichreigns by hereditary right over theprincipality of Liechtenstein. Onlydynastic members of the family are eligible to inherit the throne. The dynasty's membership, rights and responsibilities are defined by a law of the family, which is enforced by thereigning prince and may be altered by vote among the family's dynasts, but which may not be altered by theGovernment orParliament of Liechtenstein.[1]

History

[edit]

The family originates fromLiechtenstein Castle inLower Austria (nearVienna), which the family possessed from at least 1136 to the 13th century, and from 1807 onwards.

The progenitor Hugo von Liechtenstein (d. 1156) built Liechtenstein Castle around 1122-36 on afief that he received from theBabenberg margraves of Austria. He also receivedPetronell on the Danube andRohrau Castle, near the then border with theKingdom of Hungary, at first as a fief, from 1142 as a free property (allod).

Heinrich I (d. 1265), lord of Liechtenstein and Petronell, was given the lordship ofNikolsburg in southern Moravia as free property fromOttokar II of Bohemia, whom he supported politically, in 1249. It remained one of the most important seats until it was sold in 1560. In 1394, John I of Liechtenstein, lord of Nikolsburg (d. 1397), acquired the Feldsberg estate (then Lower Austria, todayValtice, Czech Republic). When he fell out of favor withAlbert III, Duke of Austria, for whom he had long conducted government business, he lost his lands south of the Danube, but could keep Nikolsburg because Bohemia and Moravia did not come to the Habsburgs until 1526.

Through the centuries, the dynasty acquired vast swathes of land, predominantly inMoravia,Lower Austria,Silesia andStyria, though in all cases, these territories were parts of countries that were ruled by other dynasties, particularly theHouse of Habsburg, to whom several Liechtenstein princes served as close advisers.

At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, the three brothersKarl,Maximilian andGundakar initiated a new period in the family history. The nobility and population in Austria, Hungary, and Bohemia had predominantly converted to Protestantism during theReformation period of the 16th century; however, the three brothers converted back to the Catholic faith at the right time before the outbreak of the mainly religiously motivatedThirty Years' War. The Habsburgs, who ruled theHoly Roman Empire almost continuously until 1806 asHoly Roman Emperors, had always preserved their Catholic faith. The three brothers supported the ultra-catholicEmperor Ferdinand II in crushing theBohemian Revolt. Maximilian, as Field Marshal, won theBattle of White Mountain. On diplomatic missions, Gundaker prepared theCatholic League, which fought for the Habsburgs in the Thirty Years' War. Karl restored order as Viceroy of Bohemia and oversaw the arrests and executions of the 27 Protestant leaders of the uprising. For this they were all three madePrinces of the Holy Roman Empire. In addition, they were able to cheaply acquire huge lands from expelled and dispossessed Protestant nobles in Bohemia and Moravia, especially since Karl himself, as the Emperor's representative, carried out these confiscations. He also received theDuchy of Troppau and theDuchy of Krnov (Jägerndorf) in Silesia from the Emperor. The respectiveFürst still holds these two ducal titles to this day.

The Moravian and Bohemian possessions acquired at the time included:Bučovice,Moravská Třebová,Moravský Krumlov,Uherský Ostroh (withKunovice andHluk),Šternberk and a palace in Prague (onMalostranské náměstí). In 1802Velké Losiny was added. Most of these estates remained in the possession of the princely house untilCzechoslovakia expropriated them in 1945. In 1622, Maximilian founded a monastery inVranov, in whose family crypt almost all Liechtenstein princes were buried, until a new crypt was built inVaduz in 1960.

Despite all the extensive land acquisitions, the rise of the House of Liechtenstein was still missing the decisive factor: Although they bore the title of Princes in the Empire, this was only anhonorary title, because the family did not yet possess any territory with semi-sovereignty(Landeshoheit) within the Empire. All their lands werefiefs (feudal grants) granted to them by the Habsburg emperor in his capacity as both Bohemian king and Austrian archduke, but none of them depended directly on the Imperial crown, the group of so-calledimmediate territories that formed the apex of the fief pyramid and enjoyed the highest prestige and, more importantly, were represented with hereditary seats in theImperial Diet (Reichstag). The then head of the family,Prince Hans-Adam I, was able to arrange the purchase from theHohenems family of the minusculeLordship of Schellenberg in 1699, and theCounty of Vaduz in 1712. Schellenberg and Vaduz were indeed a lordship and a county respectively, which were directly subordinate to the emperor as feudal lord.

The former administrative building of the Governors of Liechtenstein inFeldkirch, Austria

On 23 January 1719, after the purchase had been made,Charles VI asHoly Roman Emperor decreed Vaduz and Schellenberg to be united and raised to the dignity of a Principality by the name of "Liechtenstein", in honour of "[his] true servant,Anton Florian of Liechtenstein", the successor of Hans-Adam I. On this date, the brand new principality of Liechtenstein became a member state of the Holy Roman Empire whereby the ruling princes became themonarchs of Liechtenstein and they finally received the longed-for hereditary seat in the Reichstag. However, the ruling princes did not set foot in their new principality for several decades, a testament to the pure political expediency of the purchases. Since the small country, far away from Vienna and Bohemia, consisted only of farming villages, the administration was installed in the nearest town,Feldkirch in Austria, where the prince had an office building built for his governor.Vaduz Castle, the center of the medieval county of that name, remained unused and was rented out as a restaurant for hikers until the late 19th century.

With the end of theHoly Roman Empire in 1806, thePrincipality of Liechtenstein became sovereign and was recognized in this status by theCongress of Vienna in 1814/1815.Johann I became the first sovereign ruler. He acquired a number of castles and estates in Austria for his numerous sons, which are still mostly inhabited by their descendants today. The reigning princes continued to live in their magnificentVienna residences,Liechtenstein City Palace andLiechtenstein Garden Palace, and on their Moravian and Bohemian estates, withLednice and Valtice (German names: Eisgrub and Feldsberg) as their main residence. The border between Austria and Bohemia-Moravia, both member states of theAustro-Hungarian Empire under theHabsburg rule, ran through the park between the two castles. The local administration of the Principality of Liechtenstein was overseen by a governor, and the government office was located at the prince's seat.

It was not until theOccupation of Czechoslovakia (1938–1945) byNazi Germany at the beginning ofWorld War II that the residence was moved from Valtice toVaduz. The prince had opposed the annexation of Czech territory, including Valtice and Lednice, intoSudetenland, and as a consequence his properties were confiscated by the Nazis, and the family then relocated to Vaduz in 1939.[citation needed] Austria had also been annexed by Germany through theAnschluss in 1938.

After the Second World War, not only were the family's Czechoslovak properties expropriated, but inAllied-occupied Austria most of their properties were also located in the Soviet occupation zone and were therefore inaccessible until the end of the occupation in 1955. Due to the expropriations in Czechoslovakia as a result of theBeneš decrees in 1945, the family lost a large part of their land holdings, with about 1,200 square kilometers (463 square miles), 7.5 times the total area of the Principality itself.[2] It was only able to restore its prosperity, including the upkeep of numerous castles in Austria and of the world-famous art collections, in the last quarter of the 20th century by expanding its small Liechtenstein bank into the internationally operating financial companyLGT Group.

According to theConstitution of the Princely House of Liechtenstein of 26 October 1993, all members other than the reigning prince shall bear the titles of Prince or Princess of Liechtenstein and Count or Countess ofRietberg.

aged 65		Heirs of Hans-Adam I. Maria Theresa inherited the duchy of Opava from her father and, as she survived her offspring, Opava returned to Liechtenstein after her death. The same happened for Maria Elisabeth. As for Anton Florian, he was the heir of his brother in Wilfersdorf, and eventually inherited the majority of Liechtenstein family's estates. However, Hans-Adam left the core of today's Liechtenstein to another heir:
  • Joseph Wenzel (16 June 1712 – 12 March 1718), heir ofSchellenberg andVaduz.[7] This nomination was against the family inheritance settlement of 1606, and Joseph Wenzel eventually returned these properties to Anton Florian in exchange for the Lordship ofRumburk.

In 1719, after settling he inheritance question, Anton Florian was rewarded with thePrincipality of Liechtenstein, created byCharles VI, Holy Roman Emperor with the fusion of Schellenberg and Vaduz.
