Via Habsburg:
See Europe through different eyes –
on the trail of the Habsburgs
To a certain extent the history of the Habsburgs is also our history. In tracing the roots of this
famous family we are inevitably reminded of our own roots. From 996 to 1815 the (powerful)
personalities of this major dynasty had a decisive influence on history.
They helped form the geography and the fate of Europe. Ententes and disputes, power struggles
and territorial conquests, times of war and of peace… this 800 year-old history divided peoples
but it also reunited them and forged bonds which have survived intact. This starting point
inspired us to set up the exciting trans-national “800 years of historic European art and culture
on the trail of the Habsburgs-Via Habsburg» project.
The aim of the project is to offer travellers a journey through Europe taking in the major historic,
cultural and artistic heritage of this emblematic dynasty. 4 themed trails with a total of 64 sights
and cities in four different countries and five regions invite you therefore to embark on a journey
of variety and extraordinary discovery. Get a taste of the unique adventure which awaits you from
this document and from our website!
Via Habsburg - the result of the close cooperation of passionate teams from France, Switzerland,
Austria and Germany - has nothing to do with nostalgia. Although this experience is based on
the past, it lives in the present and connects with the future. Using the history of the Habsburgs,
in which we clearly see what unites our different homelands, Via Habsburg aims to fulfil a vision
of the future which is close to all our hearts: a spirit of solidarity and generosity which promotes
active openness and union in a Europe in which unity and variety thrive side-by-side.
We hope that you will have as much fun finding out about the Via Habsburg cultural route as we
had preparing it and we wish you a thrilling journey!

The main chapter in the history of the
Habsburgs in Further Austria
In the region which extends from the Vosges via Lake Constance to the Tyrol and which
was formally called the “ÖsterreichischesVorland“ or “Further Austria” the traveller will
discover a coat of arms here, a corner pillar there or a coping stone with an engraved date
and countless ruined chapels, fortresses, castles, churches and monasteries. They are
all important witnesses to the Habsburg dynasty which shaped a deciding epoch for the
entire region.
“GOD IN HEAVEN, SIT
TIGHT OTHERWISE
RUDOLF WILL TAKE
YOUR PLACE.”
In the Cathedral of Speyer lies the tombstone of the first of
the Habsburgs to step into the limelight of major history:
Rudolf of Habsburg. In 1273 the German electors voted
for this, considered by many “poor”, provincial noble as
a compromise candidate for German king; but they
had underestimated their man.
“God in heaven, sit tight otherwise Rudolf will
take your place” are the reputed words of the
Bishop of Basle when he learned of the choice.
He knew better from his own “bitter”
experience that this was a master of intrigue,
warmongering and besieging. However stories
vary greatly. Some say there was another side to
the Habsburger: he was magnanimous, a man of
the people, God-fearing yet also self-assured.
This assurance was due to the size of his family.
His predecessors did nothing by halves. Nor was
he “poor”. In fact since the end of the 10th Century the
family had owned land on both sides of the Upper Rhine near Lake
Constance, in Aargau, in Alsace and in the Black Forest.
And then there was the church. Even at the start of the new millennium, two sons of one Lanzelin of Klettgau are
reported as having earned repute from the establishment of monasteries. One of them, Radbot, founded the Muri
monastery whose illustrious historians are to be thanked not only for the facts of the Habsburg history but also the
histories from which stories are woven.
The other brother, also called Rudolf, earned repute by founding the Ottmarsheim convent close to present-day Mulhouse. This pious work does not imply
a lack of confidence: No less than the chapel of Charlemagne in Aachen sponsored the octagonal church.
THE HABSBURG FAMILY
AND DYNASTY, FIRMLY
ANCHORED IN THE
RELIGIOUS TRADITION,
OWES ITS NAME TO A
SECULAR STRUCTURE:
THE HABSBURG
It was perhaps surprisingly the third member of the family, Wernher, Bishop of Straßburg, who was responsible for
the strictly secular structure, the Habsburg, upstream from the confluence of the Aare and the Reuss which gave the
family and the dynasty its name. Almost 100 years passed however before any member of the family called themselves
Graf of Habsburg. Above all: the church, God and the true faith is the integral theme of the entire Habsburg history.
Monasteries, churches, pious donations and much more - a trail of riches to show that serving God and the church,
protecting the church and defending the faith against heretics, unbelievers and heathens was the very foundation of the
house.
In 1254 for instance the Habsburgs acquired the St. Blasien monastery in the Black Forest, an enviable property at that
time due to its extensive administrative rights in the south of the Black Forest. When the monastery was dissolved in
1807 (Further Austria no longer existed) the monks left the Black Forest for their new Austrian home, naturally taking
with them the bones of the early Habsburgs buried at St. Blasien along with a collection of art treasures - demonstration
of the sovereign benevolence of the Habsburgs. The existence of the Königsfelden monastery is owed to the sin and the
remembrance of a regicide in the year 1308.
The friary and convent was founded by a remarkable woman, Agnes - the Hungarian widow and daughter of the murdered King Albert I In the turbulence of the
dynasty of those days she was the sole head of the family, a skilled broker in a feudal era, including between the freedom-seeking Confederations and the dynasty
and a wise counsellor to her nephew Rudolf, who was to go down in history as the “donor” of the Stephanskirche in its current form in Vienna. The church of the
former monastery has been preserved. Its inestimably beautiful stained-glass windows allow us to imagine something of the former splendour and richness.
7
There is also the abbey of Stams with its tomb of the
Habsburg princes of Tyrol. The twelve richly gilded
statues of those buried here are indicative of the
favour enjoyed by the monastery. Here you will
also find the, albeit empty, tomb of Maximilian
I. In the Hofkirche at Innsbruck the 28 lifesize statues of Habsburg rulers are a clear
reminder of the self-assurance of the
family, so close to God’s throne.
It was also Maximilian who hoped
to become Pope, even in his old age,
in order to single-handedly reform
the church. His grandchildren and
their grandchildren, certain in such
self-assurance, then take up arms to
“convert” all who have erred from the
“true path” and become Protestant.
The “conversion” of the old cathedral
town of Constance is owed to its
allegiance to Habsburg.
And even the almost revolutionary church reform
of Maria Theresa had its foundation in the care and the
responsibility for the salvation of the faithful and their church.
The role of the family as bailiff and sponsor of the church was
defined by Rudolf I himself and it shines through here.

AUSTRIA
THE BEGINNING
OF A SUCCESSFUL
MARRIAGE
POLICY IN
EUROPE
SWITZERLAND
FRANCE
GERMANY
Maximilian I – Innsbruck is very closely connected to his name. In 1420 the city on the Inn
became the capital of the Tyrol in place of Merans. Under Maximilian it would become capital
of the Empire. One reason for this was that Maximilian had made a splendid match with the
richest heiress in Europe, Maria of Burgundy. Overnight, power had shifted west again and
the Vorlands on the Upper Rhine had become important trading partners of Bruges, Gent and
Antwerp. The Vorlands could only profit from this. For the young Emperor was stamping his
unique handwriting on his capital.
The traces still have the power to astound us today and this happy activity is echoed in the
Vorlands. The rich variety of this period bears true witness to an extraordinary period of
flourishing in all regions. Humanism and Renaissance left their marks for instance in the unique
humanist library in the Alsace Sélestat.
Prosperity reigns throughout the country: roads are expanded, e.g. g. the highly important road through the Black Forest, which
opened up a post route from Innsbruck to Mecheln in the Netherlands, agriculture and vineyards were developed, cultivation
methods were reformed. Silver from the Black Forest and the Vosges is minted into coins in Thann, Ensisheim and Freiburg.
Incidentally money was an important issue for Maximilian. His two marriages were hugely favourable from a financial perspective.
No less however was the “inheritance” of Sigismund the “rich in coin” who had no legitimate heir. With Tyrol and its salt and silver
mines plus the mint at Hall, Maximilian had full pockets which allowed him to wage wars in Hungary and against France. And
this heir gained another source of income: that of the Fugger family. Without the friendly, if not always disinterested, support of
the discrete Augsburg banker, Maximilian might have joined one his forebears as “empty in pocket”.
The administration of the Vorlands was also reorganised. The old capital Ensisheim got the “Regiment and chamber” for Further Austria, even though
subordinate to the Innsbruck “Regiment”. Ensisheim would remain the seat of government until the Peace of Westphaliaof 1648, when the house of
Habsburg finally lost Alsace. Freiburg in Breisgau then became the seat of the Further Austrian administration and 100 years later experienced similarly
flourishing times under the aegis of the dynamic Empress Maria Theresa. Even though at that time the saltpetre workers were revolting in the Black
Forest, trade and development blossomed, education and the University were reformed, hospitals were established, parishes founded, roads built and the
administration reorganised. The Freiburg mint was enjoying a boom.
THE LIST OF
GAINED REGIONS
READS LIKE A
GUIDEBOOK OF
THE MOST
DESIRABLE CITIES
TO LIVE IN
The cities were of no great significance at first for the Habsburgs as
we can see from the cathedral cities which led independent lives but this
would change in the course of the Habsburgs acquisition policy. The list
of these acquisitions from the mid-13th to the 18th centuries reads like
a guidebook of desirable cities: Pfirt, Belfort, Altkirch, Thann, Hagenau,
Breisach, Freiburg, the four Forest towns Säckingen, Laufenburg,
Rheinfelden and Waldshut, Schaffhausen, Villingen, Sigmaringen,
Mengen, Horb, Rottenburg, Oberndorf, Ehingen, Bad Waldsee,
Weingarten,Tettnang, Bregenz,Feldkirch - the list goes on.
As centres of trade and change, the cities were naturally good sources
of tax and this was to become important later in times of war against
France and the separatist Confederations, against the heretic Protestants and against the heathen Turks, even
choice of Emperor came down to money.
Cities also meant infrastructure: administration of hospitals, post stations, inns and lodgings, centres
of jurisdiction. Swathes of land could be devastated but power could be protected in cities. Their growing
significance was reflected not least in a growing confidence against rulers and Crown.
The city confederations in Alsace, the Upper Neckar and Swabia understood this, although the typical charm of
these Further Austrian country towns is still in evidence today. Whether in the town or in the country - the special
Habsburg character is instilled in the lives of the people of Further Austria, a lifestyle which focuses on the good
things - the Habsburg inheritance! Emperor Rudolf I is reported in countless stories as being extremely pious
9
but he was nevertheless friendly to his subjects and able
to enjoy feasting and celebrating - and the same goes for
the people even now. Maximilian I stayed wholly within this
tradition and his cheerful manner is reflected in plenty of
stories.
Music and dance, good company, enthusiasm for the
beautiful things in life and not least an appreciation of good
food and wine, his natural exuberance impressed all those
around him.
She was characterised by
her sense of righteousness, openness and humanity. One
of her most striking gifts was to pass on this warmth which
has since become a way of life. The engaging Habsburg
character! She gave the people in the former Further
Austrian lands and their lives the cheerful nature which is
so beloved now.

marked out this spa and bath town. It has its roots as an
Augustinian Monastery, founded in the 12th century. The
town was chartered in 1298 and shortly thereafter it was
sold by its inhabitants to Austria.
An attempt to introduce the Protestant Reformation in
Waldsee in 1680 ended with a massacre at the church
and the town’s ransoming along with four other towns.
Afterwards, the town became part of Austria again,
and remained so until 1806, when it became part of
Württemberg.

The name Basilea was first mentioned in writing in 374. In
the 8th century, Basel became the seat of a bishopric. The
Prince-Bishops were both the spiritual and secular heads
of the city. Time and again, the Habsburgs unsuccessfully
tried to make the city of Basel their own place of residence.
The thriving paper industry, along with the University
of Basel, made the city very attractive to printers. As a
result, a number of famous scholars established a circle
and had their works printed.
This group included the likes of Erasmus of Rotterdam,
Sebastian Brant and Paracelsus. Today the city is a centre
for life sciences and the chemical and pharmaceutical
industries.
The city plays host to large trade fairs, such as the
“Baselworld” watch and jewellery show and “Art Basel”,
the largest art show in the world, all of which have made
it world renown.
Bregenz. This festival town and the state capital of
Vorarlberg was purchased by the Habsburgs in 1451.
The city’s coat of arms comes from Duke Sigismund the
Wealthy, who contributed the first half, and later Emperor
Ferdinand I, who gave the second half. In 1750, Bregenz
became the capital of the «Land before Arlberg».
Dornbirn. In 1380, Habsburg Duke Leopold III acquired
the town, and in 1386 it fell to the Swiss at the Battle of
Sempach.
Hohenems. The Renaissance palace was the seat of the
Earl of Ems until 1759. When Maria Theresa acquired the
palace, she also took the title «Countess of Hohenems»
along with it. Emperor Joseph II later sold the castle to
the city. Today it is owned by the House of Waldburg-Zeil,
relatives of the Habsburgs.

Breisach. The castle hill was inhabited from the
beginning of the 11th century. The Habsburgs arrived in
1331. Because of the importance of the Rhine crossing at
Breisach, it was a perpetual bone of contention between
the Habsburgs and the French. It boasts imposing
fortifications from the Middle Ages and the 17th century.
Endingen. Pronounced cityscape boarding Austria.
From 1379 to 1805, it was under Habsburg control. The
“Schaffhauser Tor” (Upper Gate) and the “AltesRathaus”
(old Town Hallwith precious coats of arms) date from the
16th century. Krebs Palace and the Granary date from the
17th century. It also includes the Parish Church of St. Martin and the Baroque St. Peter’s Church (with Gothic tower).
Burkheim. Tradition-rich customs and travel point. It
came under Habsburg control in 1330. The most famous
lord of the castle above the city was Imperial commander
Lazarus vonSchwendi in 1560.

Radbot’sgrandson Otto II was the first “Count of
Habsburg” in the family. In 1273, Rudolf of Habsburg
became King of the Romans. With the expansion of the
Habsburg possessions, the family seat lost its political
importance. In 1804, the Habsburgs took possession of
the Canton of Aargau and it was restored several times.

Wildegg Castle. In the first half of the 13th century,
the Habsburgs built a fortress on an offshoot of the
Chestenberg. In 1483, KasparEffinger, a landed nobleman,
acquired the castle and all its possessions. From 1680,
Effinger belonged to the ruling patrician families of the
city of Bern.
Under them, Wildegg was converted in stages from a
medieval fortress into a Baroque residential palace with
extensive gardens. Since 2011, the entire castle lands have
belonged to a foundation set up by the Canton of Aargau.

Colmar. A French crown estate area mentioned for
the first time in 823, divided in half in the 10th century –
half was given to the Payerne Abbey in French-speaking
Switzerland and the other to the Constance bishopric –
and this was the beginning of the city’s future.
Built as an imperial city around 1220. In 1354, it became
a member of the Décapole (an alliance formed in 1354
by ten Imperial cities of the Holy Roman Empire in the
Alsace region to maintain their rights). The city fought
for its freedom several times against the Archbishop of
CH
Strasbourg, the Habsburgs and the Alsace nobility. It
was occupied by the Swedish during the Thirty Years War
before becoming French in 1635.
The Habsburg Dynasty Emperors left their mark: painted
busts of Maximilian I and Ferdinand I on the front of the
Pfister house, cabinets with the two-headed eagle on
the entrance-way of the Old Customs House. Although
not included in the Alsace territories of the Habsburgs,
Colmar was the economic centre from the 15th to 17th
centuries.
Ribeauvillé/Ste Marie-aux-Mines. Dominated
by these three castles, Ribeauvillé boasts silver-gilded
hanaps (large drinking goblets) decorated with the seal
from the Order of the Golden Fleece within its city hall.
At Sainte Marie-aux-Mines, there are silver mines from
the 16th century which you can visit as well as a mining
museum, which both vouch for its remarkable past.
Ortenbourg. With its 32-metre pentagonal dungeon
and its knights’ hall, Rudolf of Habsburg made this castle
into one of the finest examples of military architecture of
the Middle-Ages.
Bergheim. This Medieval city, already occupied by
the Romans, belonged to the Alsace duchy and then
became the property of the Dukes of Lorraine which
gave it as a fiefdom to the Ribeaupierre family. Henry II
of Ribeaupierre had the Bergheim ramparts built there
in 1312.
The Ribeaupierre sold the city to the Habsburgs as of
1313. The city granted the latter the right to mint coins,
the right of jurisdiction, the right of asylum (Bas-relief
Lakmi), the right of tolls and market stands. Witchcraft
trials were held in Bergheim from 1582 to 1683. Under
Louis XIV, Bergheim became French.
Sélestat. Its Humanist Library was one of the
Rhineland humanist centres during the 15th and 16th
centuries.
Built in 1843, the former granary, has been the home
to the city’s pride and joy since 1889, including both
the library of the Sélestat Latin School, the cradle of
Rhineland humanism, and the personal library of Beatus
Rhenanus, great humanist from Sélestat, ennobled by
the Emperor Charles Quint in 1523, who always backed
the Habsburgs within the context of the Reform and this
despite a deep desire for change within the Catholic
church.

Lenzburg Castle. The beginnings of Lenzburg are
unclear. It probably emerged from an early medieval
retreat and refuge. In 1340, the Habsburgs built the
“Ritterhaus” (Knights House) and left Lenzburg Castle
to their vassals as a residence and seat of government
administration.
In 1803, the new Canton of Aargau took over Lenzburg
Castle without really using it. In 1860, the Canton sold
the castle. The city of Lenzburg and the Canton of
Aargau bought the castle back in 1956 and founded the
“StiftungSchlossLenzburg” (Lenzburg Castle Foundation).
The whole castle, with Knights House, courtyard
and garden, has been open to the public ever since.
Experiences in the castle: living museum, new exhibition:
“Chivalry and nobility”, guided tours and workshops,
events, castle fox trail.
Stein Castle at Baden. The castle was already a
noble residence in the 10th century. It passed to the
Lenzburgians and later from the Kyburgians to the
Habsburgs in 1264.
Lenzburg. At the foot of the castle hill of the same name
as city, craftsmen and serfs founded their settlement.
The city fell to Bern in 1415. In its design, the old town is
largely the picture of 18th and 19th century architecture.
The castle was the seat of the Further Austrian
administration of the Habsburg estates up until 1415. In
1415, the city joined the Swiss Confederation. The Old
Town is in the form and look and a medieval city.
Wettingen. The best preserved Cistercian Monastery
in Switzerland, founded in 1227 and actively promoted
and funded by the Habsburgs.
The church (basilica with three naves, 1256) is done
in beautiful late Renaissance and Rococo styles. The
comprehensive stained glass window cycle in the
cloister dates from the Renaissance and is unique in
Switzerland.
Aarau. Founded by Kyburgians in 1240. It came into
the possession of the Hapsburgs soon afterwards. It fell
to Bern without a fight in 1415. The city is impressively
and clearly laid out. The “Rathausturm” (City Hall Tower),
the “ObererTurm” (Upper Tower) and the “Pulverturm”
(Powder Tower) date from the fortifications of the time of
the city’s founding.
Impressive cohesion of the Old Town: three-storey row
houses (16th and 17th century) and Baroque four-storey
buildings: “Rathaus” (City Hall, from several eras),
“Stadtkirche” (city church), “ObererTurm” (Upper Tower),
“SüdlicheVorstadt” (southern suburbs).

Ensisheim. A city as of the 11th century, it became the
capital of the Habsburg territories of Alsace, Breisgau
and the Black Forest between 1363 and 1411. From
1523 to 1648, it was Further Austria’s headquarters
for administration and chambers, subordinate to
Innsbruck’s central government.
The beautiful Hôtel de la Régence, built between 1535
and 1544, was their residence. It was a two-storey
building with an arcaded portico in the west wing and
a large Renaissance room. Today, in the Museum part,
you can admire its unusual meteorite glorified by Jules
Verne and which fell to earth in around 1492. Opposite
is a double house “A la couronne” with two Dutch gables
and a two-storey oriel.

this city was passed along to the House of Habsburg
following the marriage of Jeanne of Ferrette with Duke
Albert II of Habsburg, as well as Thann, Altkirch, Delle,
Delémont, Rougemont, Masevaux and Cernay. It became
French with the Westphalia Treaty.
The City Hall dates from 1572. The Counts stayed in the
Ferrette Castle. The ruins of Morimont and Landskron are
those of fortified castles which were partially demolished
during the Thirty Years War. The Landskron was rebuilt by
Vauban to become a fortress.

by the Count of Ferrette, right near the castle which was
destroyed during the Thirty Years Wars.
Ungersheim. Ecomuseum boasting about sixty

Fribourg-en-Brisgau. The Black Forest capital
city was founded in 1120 by the Dukes of Zähringen.
Construction of the Gothic cathedral began during the
early 13th century.
The rich city (thanks to silver mining) bought its own
freedom in 1368 and sought the protection of the
Habsburgs. Its university was founded by Duke Albert
VI in 1457. It served as an economic (gemstone, silver
mining, salt trade) and cultural focal point between the
Black Forest and the Vosges. Freiburg was the seat of the
Further Austrian government from 1754. In 1805, it was
given to the Grand Duchy of Baden.
St. Peter/Black Forest - Schwarzwald. Its
monastery was founded in 1093, and the city was under
Habsburg rule from 1526. Golden age during the 18th
Century.The Baroque church and monastery by the
Vorarlberger Peter Thumb and the library in the Rococo
style date from this period. Annual “Music Festival of St.
Peter.”

entire Breisgau area.
Neuenburg am Rhein is a young and modern town
with a great past. The city was founded around 1175 by
Zähringen Duke Berthold IV. In 1331, the city was pledged
to Dukes Otto and Albert of Austria.
The city was at this time under the Habsburgs and thanks
to its excellent geographical location it was one of the
most important cities on the Upper Rhine. When the
Peace of Pressburg of 26 December 1805 swept Further
Austria off the map, the whole Further Austrian Breisgau
area and the city of Neuenburgan Baden went with it.
Staufen. This small wine town was Habsburg from 1368.

Hall/Tirol. Salt works in Hall were first mentioned in
documents from 1232. At the city survey in 1303, the foundation stone had already been laid for the future expansion of the city. In 1477, Archduke Sigismund the Rich,
Duke of Tyrol and Regent of Further Austria, moved the
Habsburg Mint from Merano to the important salt works
town of Hall. In 1486, and from Schwaz silver, he created

Empress Elisabeth apartment. The interior apartment
was luxuriously appointed in the mid-19th century
for Empress Elisabeth, called Sisi. The high quality
toilet and single bed refer to Sisi’s beauty cult and her
individualism.
Palace furniture. Chairs and other furniture pieces tell
the eventful history of the establishment of the Palace,
the changing fashions and styles of social hierarchy
while sitting at the court and production methods and
restoration. The new range of furniture in the showrooms
is rarely encountered elsewhere: chairs discovered by
accident from the time of Maria Theresa, original seating
by the Innsbruck cabinetmaker Johann Geyr.
Schloss Ambras/Ambras Castle (now on the
southern outskirts of Innsbruck) was built in the 11th
century to resemble a medieval castle under the Bavarian
Counts of Andechs, remodelled by Emperor Maximilian I
as a hunting lodge and expanded by Archduke Ferdinand II
in the middle of the 16th century in the Renaissance style.
He founded his “Kunst- und Wunderkammer” (Arts &
Curiosities Chamber) here, which is the oldest museum
in Central Europe. The castle includes the weapons
collection of the Archduke.
The High Castle includes a collection of portraits of
Habsburgs and representations with in-laws (14501750). In the “SpanischerSaal” (Spanish Hall), which
was built from 1570-72 as a freestanding ballroom, the
«Ambraser Schlosskonzerte» (Ambras Castle Concerts)
and events from the Festival of Early Music take place
today.
Maria Theresa’s Staterooms. Innsbruck Palace, former
residence of Emperor Maximilian, owes its present
appearance Maria Theresa. The Rococo façade, the court
orchestra and the state rooms bear her signature. The
monarch had the palace set up as a memorial after the
death of her husband. In the Riesensaal, the portraits
of her 16 children demonstrate the fertility and political
power of an unusual regency.
Königsfelden
Innsbruck
Hofburg/Innsbruck Palace.
Königsfelden: klosterkirche • Brugg • Windisch
Königsfelden. The Murder of King Albert I of
Habsburg led to the construction of the Königsfelden
monastery during 1310 -1312. Dowager Queen Elisabeth
created, in the spirit of medieval healing and afterlife, a
memorial space for the Habsburgs.
After the death of Queen Elizabeth, her daughter Queen
Agnes became patroness of the monastery. Under her,
the double monastery reached its economic and artistic
climax in the 14th century.
The glass windows of this period are some of the most
outstanding works of European stained glass from the
late Middle Ages. Today, the monastery belongs to the
Museum of Aargau and cultural events bring new light
into the sepulchre of the Habsburgs.
Experiences at the monastery: one of a kind glass
windows, audio guides, tours and workshops, events.
Brugg. Founded by the Habsburgs around 1200,
though in use in Roman times. In 1284, the city status
was changed, as for many Habsburg cities, as a new
model (self-management). It was part of Bern after
1415. Distinctive medieval townscape.
Windisch. Significant remains of the Roman
Innsbruck was from 1420 - 1665 the seat of the
Tyrolean princes. As the residence of the Habsburgs,
the city gained importance, especially under
Maximilian I, when he installed important offices
there. For a short time, Innsbruck became the centre
of Austrian succession and the treasury of the empire
was located here (1490-1519).
After the extinction of the Tyrolean Habsburgs, the
country was governed from the centre of Vienna,
though it was still the seat of governors. In 1849,
Innsbruck became the state capital.

Reichenau. The island of Reichenau, a UNESCO World
Heritage Site, is the largest of the three islands on Lake
Islands. In 724, the itinerant bishop Pirmin founded a
Benedictine monastery on the island, which from the 8th
to the 11th centuries developed into a spiritual centre
of the West. Witnesses of the great past are the three
Romanesque churches, famous for their murals.
Radolfzell. The city was founded in 826 on the Untersee

Rheinfelden. The shore settlement developed along
with Stein Castle situated on an island in the Rhine stone
by the Counts of Rheinfelden. The city was founded in
1130 by the Zähringers. In 1330, the city was pledged
to Habsburg rule - and stayed so, with an interruption
from 1415 to 1449, almost half a millennium. In 1803,
Rheinfelden arrived at the Canton of Aargau.
Fricktal. The Fricktal remained under Habsburg
rule until 1802, after which it belonged to the Canton of
Aargau. Others often pledged to rain great destruction
during the Thirty Years’ War. The reforms of Maria Theresa
resulted in advanced education and management. Typical
Habsburg places: Oeschgen (castle for court gentlemen
from Schönau), Herznach (Parish Church, whose choir
room is one of the most beautiful creations of late
Baroque design is Swiss).
Laufenburg (CH). This bridge city on the Rhine was
founded in 1207 by Count Rudolf II of Habsburg, with a
hermitage endowed by the Säckingen monastery. The
bridge between the Black Forest and the Habsburg
possessions in central Switzerland was commercial,
administrative and judicial and included the other three
forest towns of Rheinfelden, Säckingen and Waldshut.
Under the castle and halfway towards the Rhine, there
are the Town Hall (late Gothic style in 1600) and the
Courthouse (Coat of Arms, pediment, belfry, interior
Rococo), next to church (after 1650, large Rococo). For old
city fortifications: Wasen Tower, Schwertlisturm and parts
of the old city wall.

Laufenburg (D). The history of Laufenburg, on the
right banks of the Rhine and as a free city, began after
the Luneville Peace (1801) by Napoleon forced secession
of the left bank of the Rhine from the Hapsburg monarchy.
After initial difficulties, the small town grew and from 1805
it was known as Little Laufenburg and from 1 November
1930 as Laufenburg (Baden). Railway construction in
1855/56, but especially the construction of a hydroelectric
power plant at the beginning of the last century, brought
great and serious changes in the cityscape with it.
Laufenburg
Constance/Konstanz. Emerged as a Celtic
marketplace in the 2nd Century BC at the outlet of the
Rhine from Lake Constance, became Roman in the
Alpine campaign of 15 BC. In the 4th Century, it was the
border fort to the Alemannic area of Constantia, named
after Constantine II, emperor and son of Constantine the
Great. From 1414-1418, Constance was home to a council
which eliminated the schism and elected a new pope.
The Bohemian reformer Jan Hus was killed at the stake
here. In the Counter Reformation, a Spanish attack forced
Habsburg Constance to surrender. It was Austrian country
town. Only the reorganisation by Napoleon I in 1806 ended
the Austrian period. Constance was then part of Baden.

Muri. The foundation of the monastery at Muri (1027)
goes back to Ita of Lorraine and her husband Radbot
of Habsburg. Until the violent secularisation of the
monastery in 1841, active construction, including the
installation of the famous octagon and the associated
Baroque style. Out of piety towards the monastery
founded by ancestors, the Austrian dynasty, transferred
to the Convent after the closing down an existing
monastery in Gries near Bolzano. Today, the convent
continues to live in Gries and Sarnen, with a small
presence in Muri.
Bremgarten. First mentioned in 1140. The town
received its charter in1256 from Count Rudolf of
Habsburg. In the 14th and 15 century, it formed its own
territory, with the same living and patronage of Muri. It
was conquered in 1443 by Swiss Confederates.

Hof Palace/Schloss Hof owned by the
Habsburgs. In one of the bloodiest battles of the
Middle Ages, Rudolf of Habsburg was victorious over the
Bohemian King Ottokar and thus justified the domination
of his home in Austria.
Ottmarsheim. Its remarkable octagonal church was
part of a Benedictine abbey founded in the 11th century by
Rudolf of Habsburg.
The church was consecrated in 1049 by Pope Leo IX from
the Eguisheim Counts family. The octagonal shape was
copied from the Charlemagne chapel in Aix-la-Chapelle.
The impressive architectural precision comes from its
proportions: the church diameter and height are 20 m
each, and the height of the gallery and the diameter of the
dome are respectively 10 metres.
After the death of Prince Eugene, the unique beauty of
Hof Palace had its effect on Maria Theresa. In 1755, the
monarch acquired the property from the heirs of Prince
Eugene and give it to her husband, Emperor Franz
Stephan, as a present. In all tourist stays at the estate, the
strict rules of the Vienna ceremonial court to 200 nearly
staff care for the royal couple.
To make this remedy a lack of space, the now widowed
Maria Theresa decided in 1770 to allow the building
to increase by one floor. In the course of this work, the
imperial court architect Franz Anton Hillebrandt also
furnished the facade and the interiors to the tastes of the
time, including rich neo-classical decor.
He was therefore very important in contributing to Hof
Palace’s present appearance.
Mulhouse is the second largest city of Alsace. It became
a free imperial city under Rudolf of Habsburg. As of 1364
it belonged to the Décapole d’Alsace (an alliance formed in
1354 by ten Imperial cities of the Holy Roman Empire in the
Alsace region to maintain their rights). Between 1515 and
1798, this wealthy city belonged to the Swiss Confederation
before becoming part of France. Mulhouse established
its industrial reputation as of the 18th century with is
manufacture of indienne, printed or painted textile. With
this age-old technical culture, Mulhouse proudly opens
its magnificent and noteworthy museums which perfectly
blend technique and art.

St. Blasien.The climatic health resort was built around
the 9th century as a Benedictine monastery. The landmark
is now the mighty domes church in early classical style, the
third largest in Europe. In 1218, the Habsburgs acquired
the Bailiwick. The monastery operated with the continuous
settlement and clearing of the southern Black Forest and
granted the settlers generous privileges. From 1368, the
abbot of St. Blasien held the presidency of the Austrian
prelate front stand. In 1746, Emperor Francis I bestowed
the monastery with the title of prince-abbot. The “Habsburgersaal” (Habsburg hall) has portraits of members of the
imperial family (in today’s Jesuit High School). Museum in
stables with documentation of Salpeter Riots.
Bad Säckingen. Today, a spa, built around the Be-
nedictine monastery founded in 878. The town was under
Habsburg rule from 1173. Medieval St. Fridolin Minster, in
17th century Baroque style. Minster treasury and medieval houses.Gallusturm 14th century, Schönau Castle (museum). The wooden bridge (16th century) is the longest of

exceptional views, close to the recreational areas around
the Schluchsee (Lake Schluchsee); various sports and
hiking opportunities in winter and in summer.
Waldshut-Tiengen. One of the four forest towns on the
Upper Rhine, along with Säckingen, Laufenburg and Rheinfelden. Since the late 13th century it was Habsburg, built to
protect the monastery of St. Blaise and with the development of the southern Black Forest, as well as to ward off
attacks by the Swiss Confederates. Medieval old town with
old town houses and gates, including “AlteMetzig”, today
the local history museum“Heimatmuseum”.

Strasbourg Formerly called Argentoratum, was
founded during the time of the Emperor Augustus.
It became a bishopric and the cathedral boasts a Roman
crypt. Strasbourg became a free imperial city as of 1201
or 1205, before becoming French in 1681.
After the death of Maximilian III in 1620, the Archduke
Leopold, Archbishop of Passau and Strasbourg, was
entrusted with the administration of Tyrol and Further
Austria.
He was the last Prince to reign over an Alsace under
Habsburg power, as it once again became French after
the Westphalia Treaty in 1648. In 1770, the Strasbourg
inhabitants joyfully welcomed the future queen, Maria
Antonia, daughter of Maria Theresa, during her trip
towards Paris.

most famous silver coin in the world?
The Maria Theresa thaler is the most famous silver coin in the world. First minted in 1741 it looked very different then. This is what the thaler
looked like with the Empress wearing a widow’s veil after the death of her husband. At the end of her life they swapped the youthful image of the
Empress for the one which is still used today. Ever since the death of the Empress in year 1780 the thaler has been restruck as a trade coin with
the same date. The image of the Empress is encircled by a Latin text.
English: Maria Theresa, by God’s grace Empress of the Romans, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia, Archduchess of Austria, Duchess of Burgundy,
Countess of Tyrol. The initials S. F. stand for the two mint officials of the time.
The back shows a double eagle with the Imperial Crown. The arms of Hungary, Bohemia, Burgundy and Burgau are depicted on the shield. The
edge of the thaler is grooved and bears the motto of the Empress Maria Theresa “Justitia et Clementia”, which means justice and clemency.
In Austria the thaler was officially recognised as legal tender until 1858. In parts of Africa it was legal tender even at the end of the Second World
War. Its scope reaches from the north-west Africa to parts of India. Its great significance also means that during the Second World War the mints
in Rome, London, Paris, Brussels and even Bombay reminted the Maria Theresa thaler largely in its original form. Over the first 200 years 320
million coins were manufactured.
As an historical item of immense international significance, the Maria
Theresa thaler is highly valued throughout the world and is minted today
exclusively by MünzeÖsterreich AG.
