Life
Hubert Salvator was born in Schloss Lichtenegg, Wels, Upper Austria, Austria-Hungary, the third child and second-eldest son of Archduke Franz Salvator of Austria, Prince of Tuscany and his wife Archduchess Marie Valerie of Austria. Through his mother, he was a grandson of Franz Joseph I of Austria, and through his father, he was a great-grandson of Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany.
Hubert Salvator married Princess Rosemary of Salm-Salm, the second eldest child and daughter of Emanuel Alfred, Hereditary Prince of Salm-Salm and his wife Archduchess Maria Christina of Austria, on 25 November 1926 civilly at Anholt Castle in Westfalen and religiously on 26 November 1926. [2]
World War One
During the First World War he served as an Oberleutnant and Rittmeister in Dragoon Regiment No. 4 . He took part in trench warfare on Bug and Dubno. He was then a riding Ordonnanzoffizier with the 9th Gebirgsbrigadekommando in the Dolomites. [3] In 1914 Hubert Salvator received the Order of the Golden Fleece.
From September to November 1917, on behalf of Emperor Charles I, he took over the Austrian mission to the Orient to Asia Minor, Syria and Palestine together with the Orientalist Alois Musil. [4] The mission was intended to protect the interests of the monarchy in the Ottoman Empire, especially in competition with its ally Germany. [5] Hubert Salvator was in charge of the mission's “representative leadership” and the head of the mission was the expert Musil. The mission, officially sent to inspect troops and maintain contact with Ottoman officials and oriental Christians, also served Emperor Charles' dream of a "religious protectorate of the Habsburgs in the Orient". Charles wanted to take over the cultural protectorate of France over the oriental Christians. [6] [4] The mission had economic, scientific-cultural and propaganda motives, but the military aspect was only a cover. [5]
The experienced Austrian ambassador in Constantinople János von Pallavicini, who had tried in vain to prevent the mission because he feared conflict with the Ottoman government, later judged that the Archduke had correctly grasped the situation in Palestine and Syria. [5] [4] Feldmarschallleutnant Joseph Pomiankowski, the imperial and royal military representative in the Ottoman Empire noted that Hubert Salvator left the best impression due to his very pleasant appearance, his modest, amiable demeanor and his quiet seriousness.’’ [4]
After the end of Austria-Hungary
After the end of the Habsburg Monarchy Hubert Salvator made a declaration of renunciation after the passing of the Habsburg Law in 1919 and was therefore allowed to stay in Austria. In 1920 he received his doctorate in law from the University of Innsbruck . Apparently expelled from the Order of the Golden Fleece because of the declaration of renunciation, he and his father were readmitted in November 1922. [7]
In Persenbeug, Hubert Salvator successfully managed a large forestry operation. [3] Because of his extensive holdings, he was nicknamed “Schleusen-Hubsi.” [8] He inherited the Kaiservilla in Bad Ischl from his mother in 1924. During the First Republic and the Federal State Hubert Salvator was a high-ranking Heimwehr functionary as Gauführer. [9] He was politically persecuted under National Socialist rule. [10]
During the Soviet occupation after the Second World War, Hubert Salvator was chairman of the municipal committee of Persenbeug. [11] [3] He lived and ultimately died at the age of 76 at Persenbeug Castle, which he owned together with eight other Habsburg family members. [12]
