Das Haus Habsburg, auch als Haus Hapsburg bekannt, war eine der bedeutendsten königlichen Dynastien in Europa und spielte eine entscheidende Rolle in der Geschichte Österreichs und Ungarns. Die Habsburger stiegen im Laufe der Jahrhunderte zu einer der mächtigsten königlichen Familien auf und regierten über das Austro-Hungarian Empire, das auch als Donaumonarchie bekannt war.

Die Geschichte des Hauses Habsburg reicht bis ins Mittelalter zurück, und es war vor allem die Hochzeit von Maximilian I. mit Maria von Burgund im Jahr 1477, die den Grundstein für die Ausdehnung des Habsburger Reiches legte. Unter Kaiser Karl V. erreichte das Habsburgerreich seine größte territoriale Ausdehnung, und es erstreckte sich über weite Teile Europas.

Die Habsburger waren nicht nur Monarchen, sondern auch wichtige Förderer der Künste und der Wissenschaften. Wien, die Hauptstadt des Habsburgerreiches, wurde zu einem Zentrum der Kultur und des intellektuellen Lebens. Der Wiener Hof, auch bekannt als der „Imperiale Hof“, war berühmt für seine Pracht und seinen Glanz.

Zu den prominenten Mitgliedern des Hauses Habsburg gehörten Erzherzöge und Erzherzoginnen, Kaiser und Kaiserinnen von Österreich und Ungarn. Die bekanntesten darunter sind Kaiserin Maria Theresia und Kaiser Franz Joseph I. sowie seine Frau Kaiserin Elisabeth, auch als „Sisi“ bekannt.

Die Habsburger trugen auch eine beeindruckende Sammlung von königlichem Schmuck, zusammen, in der Schatzkammer ist, noch ein kleiner Teil davon zu sehen . Diese wertvollen Schätze waren Zeugen der Pracht und des Reichtums der Habsburgermonarchie.

Die Geschichte der Habsburger endete mit dem Zusammenbruch des Austro-Hungarian Empire nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Die Monarchie wurde abgeschafft, und die Habsburger gingen ins Exil. Dennoch bleibt ihr Erbe in Österreich und Ungarn bis heute lebendig, und ihre Geschichte ist eng mit der Geschichte dieser Länder verknüpft.

Es gab auch eine bemerkenswerte königliche Hochzeit im Hause Habsburg, als Erzherzog Karl von Österreich und Prinzessin Zita von Bourbon-Parma heirateten. Dieses Ereignis war von großer Bedeutung für die Dynastie und markierte einen wichtigen Moment in der Geschichte der Habsburger.

Insgesamt ist das Haus Habsburg ein faszinierendes Kapitel in der Geschichte von Österreich und Ungarn, das mit Kaiserinnen, Kaisern, königlichem Schmuck und einer reichen monarchischen Tradition verbunden ist.Austria Österreich Habsburg Hapsburg Oesterreich Erzherzog Erzherzogin Royal Jewellery & Aristocratic Jewels Imperial Court Royalty Donaumonarchie,Archduke of Austria, Archduchess of Austria, Kaiser, Kaiserin von Österreich, Ungarn, Donaumonarchie,Vienna court,Wien, Monarchy, Imperialer Hof, Haus Habsburg, austro-hungarian empire, austrian hungarian empire,

Fürstin Marie Aglaë von und zu Liechtenstein | Kinsky Honeysuckle Tiara – from the Princely Family of Liechtenstein

Princess Marie Astrid of Liechtenstein and her husband Ralph Wonthington married today at Duomo di Orbetello, Tuscany.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
The bride wore a gown with French sleeves and a V-neckline both in the front and in the back. But if something stood out about him, it was the embroidery that formed crisscross lines and geometric figures throughout the entire design. Great prominence also for the queue, which had to be carried by two of the guests to make it easier for Astrid to walk without much difficulty. And if the tail was long, the veil has not been short, several meters too and lit from the tiara, that element that can not be missing in any royal wedding.

The Emerald Parure of Marie-Louise Empress of France | Emerald and Diamond Diadem

Marie Louise went to Vienna after the fall of Napoleon I and took with her her personal jewelery, including the emarald parure. The parure stayed in the Habsburg family until 1953.
Then a Scandinavian decendant of the Habsburg family sold the diadem and kept the other pieces of the parure. They sold it to the famous Jewelhouse Van Cleef and Arpels.

Marie Louise Diadem from Emerald to Turquoise tiara -  Marie Louise's Diadem -The Marie Louise Diadem is a diamond and turquoise diadem made in origin with emeralds, for Marie Louise of Austria, the wife of Emperor Napoleon of France.

In 1946 the Parure crossed destroyed Europe, hidden in a harness. In fact, Archduke Karl Albrecht left the castle in Zywiec in southern Poland with his wife Archduchess Alice and their daughters on a rickety horse cart. Imprisoned by the Nazis and then persecuted by the Polish Communists, they were forced into exile. Crossing Poland, Germany and parts of Denmark, they finally managed to reach Sweden, the country of birth of Princess Alice. The hurriedly hidden jewels were her only valuables. The diamond and emerald parure – tiara, necklace, earrings and brooch found its way to Van Cleef & Arpels in New York at the beginning of 1953. The emeralds from Columbia, which are of considerable size, also have a well-known origin; Napoleon I gave them to his second wife, Empress Marie Luise, an Austrian Archduchess. The design above of the Napoleonic Tiara shows the original version and the emeralds in detail and their size, from left to right the top large emeralds have a weight of: 8.05ct, 12.15ct, 13.43ct, 12.04ct, 6.31ct, 13.20ct, 12.46ct, 6.82ct, the oval emeralds in the center 6.31ct The middle row and lower emeralds 2.16 ct, 1.34 ct, 2.59 ct, 3.25 ct, 2.77 ct, 5.41 ct, 1.32 ct; 1.39 ct, 5.43 ct; 3.50 ct, 3.31 ct, 2.60 ct, 2.23 ct, 1.34 ct, 2.80 ct. After her death in 1847, Marie-Louise bequeathed the Parure with the diadem, the emerald necklace, the emerald earrings and the emerald brooch to her Habsburg relatives.
