List Of Counts Of Austria-Hungary
This page lists Austrian nobility, comital families in the territories of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, whether extant or extinct. Mediatized counts (''Reichsgrafen'') were entitled to the style of ''Erlaucht'' (Illustrious Highness), while others bore the style of ''Hochgeboren'' (High Born). The Austrian comital title (''Graf'') was the second most prestigious Title of nobility, title of the Austrian nobility, forming the higher nobility (''hoher Adel'') alongside the List of princes of Austria-Hungary, princes (''Furst''); this close inner circle, called the ''100 Familien'' (100 families), possessed enormous riches and lands. They also had great influence at the court and thus played an important role in politics and diplomacy.The German forms of the titles are ''Graf'' (count) and ''Gräfin'' (countess), while Hungarian forms are ''gróf'' (count) and ''Grof, grófnő'' (countess born or granted with the title) or ''grófné'' (wife of a count).

Austrian Nobility
The Austrian nobility (german: österreichischer Adel) is a status group that was officially abolished in 1919 after the fall of Austria-Hungary. The nobles are still part of Austrian society today, but they no longer retain any specific privileges. Austria's system of nobility was very similar to Germany's (see German nobility), as both countries were previously part of the Holy Roman Empire (962–1806). Any noble living in the Habsburg-ruled lands, and who owed allegiance to the dynasty and therefore to the Emperor, was also considered part of the Austrian aristocracy. This applied to any member of the Bohemian, Hungarian, Polish, Croatian, and other nobilities in the Habsburg dominions. Attempting to differentiate between ethnicities can be difficult, especially for nobles during the eras of the Holy Roman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian monarchy (1867–1918). A noble from Galicia, for instance, such as the Count Jordan-Rozwadowski (see section "Noble titles" below un ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Althann
The House of Althann (also spelled Althan, Altham or Altheim) is the name of an ancient German noble family that originated from Lower Bavaria, whose members occupied many important political and clerical positions during the Holy Roman Empire. From 1714, they held the position of hereditary Cup-bearers for the Holy Roman Emperor. History They are one of the oldest extant German noble families, going back to at least 1129. By 1400, they had moved to Austria, where they were created barons, in 1574, and Imperial Counts, in 1610. After Brandenberg-Prussia annexed Silesia in the First Silesian War, a branch of the family joined the Prussian nobility. In the nineteenth century, they had seats in both the Austrian and Prussian Prussia, , Old Prussian: ''Prūsa'' or ''Prūsija'' was a German state on the southeast coast of the Baltic Sea.

Von Berényi
The term ''von'' () is used in German language surnames either as a nobiliary particle indicating a noble patrilineality, or as a simple preposition used by commoners that means ''of'' or ''from''. Nobility directories like the ''Almanach de Gotha'' often abbreviate the noble term ''von'' to ''v.'' In medieval or early modern names, the ''von'' particle was at times added to commoners' names; thus, ''Hans von Duisburg'' meant "Hans from he city ofDuisburg". This meaning is preserved in Swiss toponymic surnames and in the Dutch or Afrikaans '' van'', which is a cognate of ''von'' but does not indicate nobility. Usage Germany and Austria The abolition of the monarchies in Germany and Austria in 1919 meant that neither state has a privileged nobility, and both have exclusively republican governments. In Germany, this means that legally ''von'' simply became an ordinary part of the surnames of the people who used it. There are no longer any legal privileges or constraint ...
