Haus Und Fürstentum Liechtenstein Auswahlbibliographie Studia historica Brunensia 64 / 2017 / 1 https://doi.org/10.5817/SHB2017-1-14 Haus und Fürstentum Liechtenstein Auswahlbibliographie The Liechtensteins and Liechtenstein A Selected Bibliography Zusammengestellt von Tomáš Knoz und Markéta Peřestá Tomáš Knoz / [email protected] Historický ústav, Filozofická fakulta, Masarykova univerzita, Brno, CZ BIBLIOGRAFIE / BIBLIOGRAPHIE Markéta Peřestá / [email protected] Historický ústav, Filozofická fakulta, Masarykova univerzita, Brno, CZ Abstract One of the objectives of the Czech-Liechtenstein Commission of Historians was to try to chart the contemporary state of research into several historical themes which had been suggested as a result of the Czech-Liechtenstein declaration of 2009. This concerns the history of the Principality of Liechtenstein with a particular focus on Czech-Liechtenstein relationships, as well as on the history of the Princely House of Liechtenstein, again in relation to its activities on the territory of the Czech lands as well as in Central Europe. This overview of the literature shows that the history of the Liechtenstein family and its standing in Central European and European history has been a long-term presence in European historiography. The history of the Liechtenstein family has been studied within the context of aristocratic history/the history of social elites, the history of states, cultural and art history, as well as regional and local historiography. Within Czech historiography, the Liechtenstein family is typically present as part of the history of the Czech state and the history of Czech society, particularly in connection with the history of the medieval Czech kingdom, the history of the Battle of White Mountain, as well as relating to research into the foundation of the Czecho- slovak Republic and the history of memory and identity. Therefore, the history of the Liech- tenstein family differs substantially from the traditional histories of the nobility and individual aristocratic families. In terms of the historiography of Liechtenstein itself, there is a relatively close connection between the history of the Liechtenstein family and the Liechtenstein state. Keywords bibliography, Princely House of Liechtenstein, Principality of Liechtenstein, history 319 Tomáš Knoz – Markéta Peřestá Haus und Fürstentum Liechtenstein. Auswahlbibliographie Eine der Aufgaben der Tschechisch-Liechtensteinischen Historikerkommission bestand darin, den aktuellen Stand bei der Erforschung einiger geschichtlicher Themen, die auf der Grundlage der tschechisch-Liechtensteinischen Deklaration aus dem Jahre 2009 definiert wurden, näher zu untersuchen. Es handelt sich dabei um die Geschichte des Fürstentums Liechtenstein, und zwar insonderheit mit Blick auf die tschechisch-liechten- steinischen Beziehungen, sowie die Geschichte des Fürstenhauses Liechtenstein, wiede- rum im Zusammenhang mit seinem Wirken auf dem Gebiet der böhmischen Länder sowie in Mitteleuropa. Die hier vorgelegte Literaturübersicht knüpft an einige ältere Bibliographien an, die zu den aufgeführten Subthemen herausgegeben wurden, vor allem an die Auswahl- bibliographie zur Literatur, die einen Bestandteil der von Peter Geiger – Tomáš Knoz – Eliška Fučíková – Ondřej Horák – Catherine Horel – Johann Kräftner – Jan Županič und Thomas Winkelbauer unter dem Titel Liechtensteinisch-tschechische Beziehungen in Geschichte und Gegenwart: Synthesebericht der Liechtensteinisch-Tschechischen Historikerkom- mission, Vaduz 2014 bildet (eine tschechische Version erschien, herausgegeben von den gleichen Autoren, unter dem Titel Česko-lichtenštejnské vztahy v dějinách a současnosti: BIBLIOGRAFIE / BIBLIOGRAPHIE souhrnná zpráva Česko-lichtenštejnské komise historiků, Brno 2014). Im Unterschied zu eini- gen anderen Literaturübersichten präsentiert die hier vorgelegte Bibliographie die ein- zelnen Punkte in chronologischer Reihenfolge (im Rahmen der einzelnen Jahre sind die Arbeiten alphabetisch nach Autoren geordnet; im Falle von Sammelbänden werden die einzelnen Beiträge unter dem Titel des Sammelbandes hinter einem Sternchen nach der ursprünglichen Reihung in der Publikation aufgeführt). Das Hauptziel der gewählten Vorgehensweise besteht darin aufzuzeigen, in welcher Art und Weise sich im Verlaufe der Zeit das Interesse an der Geschichte Liechtensteins und des Hauses Liechtenstein wandelte, welche Themen gewählt und in welcher Form und mit welchen Methoden diese erarbeitet wurden. Dabei zeigt sich, dass das Thema der Geschichte des Geschlechts der Liechtenstei- ner und ihrer Stellung innerhalb der mittel- und gesamteuropäischen Geschichte in der europäischen Historiographie stets präsent war. Die Geschichte des Hauses Liech- tenstein wurde zum einen im Kontext der Geschichte der Aristokratie bzw. der Ge- schichte der gesellschaftlichen Eliten, jener des Staates, der Kultur- und Kunstgeschichte sowie innerhalb der regionalen und lokalen Historiographie erforscht. Mit Blick auf das hier behandelte Thema erweist sich für die tschechische Geschichtsschreibung als charakteristisch, dass das Thema der Liechtensteiner auch als Bestandteil der Geschich- te des tschechischen Staates und der Geschichte der tschechischen Gesellschaft einen Forschungsgegenstand bildete, und zwar insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit der Ge- schichte des mittelalterlichen Königreichs Böhmen, der Geschichte der Geschehnisse um die Schlacht am Weißen Berg sowie sekundär auch im Kontext der Erforschung der Entstehung der Tschechoslowakischen Republik und jener der Geschichte der Erinne- rung und Identitäten. Das Thema der Geschichte des Hauses Liechtenstein unterschied sich somit markant von jenen klassisch frequentierten Geschichten des Adels und ein- zelner Adelsgeschlechter. In ähnlicher Weise wurde das erwähnte Thema auch in der österreichischen Historiographie behandelt, wobei es dessen ungeachtet keine „schick- 320 Tomáš Knoz – Markéta Peřestá Haus und Fürstentum Liechtenstein. Auswahlbibliographie salhafte“ Rolle spielte. Im Verhältnis zur Geschichte des Hauses Liechtenstein spielt die Tatsache eine wichtige Rolle, dass dieses Thema präsent blieb und dabei zugleich einige für die Geschichte des Adels bzw. der Kirchengeschichtsschreibung innerhalb der Kultur-, Kunst- und Architekturgeschichte wenig vorteilhafte Perioden überlebte (in diesem Bereich muss beispielsweise auf Arbeiten aus dem Gebiet der Barockarchitektur in Mähren, vor allem aber auf Arbeiten aus dem Bereich der Denkmalpflege verwiesen werden). Die Geschichte der Liechtenstein erfuhr traditionell in Mähren und in der Region Mährisch Ostrau (Ostrava) eine größere Beachtung als in Böhmen. Dessen un- geachtet widmete sich die Geschichtsforschung in den böhmischen Ländern erst nach 1989 intensiver dieser Thematik, die – im Vergleich zu anderen Themen – eine überra- schend große Rolle spielte. Hierbei bildete darüber hinaus die Geschichte des Fürsten- tums Liechtenstein ein Forschungsfeld innerhalb der tschechischen Historiographie, vor allem als spezifischer Bestandteil der Geschichte der Diplomatie. Sofern es um die eigentliche liechtensteinische Historiographie geht, lässt sich eine relativ enge Verknüpfung der Geschichte des Hauses Liechtenstein und der Geschichte des Fürstentums Liechtensteins konstatieren. Die Geschichte des Fürstenhauses wurde historisch vornehmlich außerhalb des Gebietes des heutigen Liechtensteins erforscht, BIBLIOGRAFIE / BIBLIOGRAPHIE wobei man sich heuristisch und methodologisch in erster Linie der österreichischen Geschichtsschreibung annäherte. Es handelte sich dabei um eine historische Auffas- sung, die seit den Zeiten Jacob von Falkes und Franz Wilhelms mit der Erforschung der Quellen des Hausarchivs der regierenden Fürsten von und zu Liechtenstein verbunden war, wobei das historiographische Bild in spezifischer Weise auf Bestellung der Fürsten entstand. In einigen Fällen wurde diese Auffassung zu einem Bestandteil der „großen“ europäischen Geschichtsschreibung, und zwar beispielsweise dank der Arbeiten Her- bert Haupts, Volker Press’ oder in jüngster Zeit Thomas Winkelbauers. Aufgrund der Rolle der Architektur und der Kunstsammlungen innerhalb der Geschichte des Hauses Liechtenstein begann sich die Historiographie immer stärker der Geschichte des Samm- lungswesens und der Kunstgeschichte anzunähern. In weitaus stärkerem Umfang als Franz Wilhelm vertiefte diese Tendenz dessen Sohn und Nachfolger Gustav Wilhelm, während aktuell als deren Vertreter vor allem Johann Kräftner gelten darf. In Liechten- stein selbst erscheinen Untersuchungen zur Geschichte der Fürsten von Liechtenstein in erster Linie im Rahmen der Periodika und Publikationen des Historischen Vereins für das Fürstentum Liechtenstein, der als solcher dieses Thema mit Blick auf die Geschichte Liechtensteins als historisches Land bzw. mitunter in regionalgeschichtlicher Perspektive vermittelt. Personell und thematisch ist dieser Verein darüber hinaus mit dem Liechten- stein-Institut in Bendern verbunden, für das sich als typisch eine modern interpretierte Verknüpfung der Geschichte im Rahmen transdisziplinärer Sozialstudien (Politologie, Soziologie, Jura, Wirtschaftswissenschaften) sowie ein Bemühen zur Erforschung der Geschichte des Fürstentums Liechtenstein im Kontext breit aufgefasster Tendenzen der europäischen Integration erweisen. 321 Tomáš Knoz – Markéta Peřestá Haus und Fürstentum Liechtenstein.

    How the World is, and has been controlled by the same Families for Millennia These are the Secret Elite Families that rule the world from behind the scenes and what WE can do to change society for the better Let us begin with a quick look at the current (as of May 2015) British Prime Minister David Cameron; Aristocracy and politics Cameron descends from King William IV and his mistress Dorothea Jordan through their illegitimate daughter Lady Elizabeth FitzClarence to the fifth female generation Enid Agnes Maud Levita. His father's maternal grandmother, Stephanie Levita (née Cooper) was the daughter of Sir Alfred Cooper and Lady Agnes Duff (sister of Alexander Duff, 1st Duke of Fife) and a sister of Duff Cooper, 1st Viscount Norwich GCMG DSO PC, the Conservative statesman and author. His paternal grandmother, Enid Levita, who married secondly in 1961 a younger son of the 1st Baron Manton, was the daughter of Arthur Levita and niece of Sir Cecil Levita KCVO CBE, Chairman of London County Council in 1928. Through the Mantons, Cameron also has kinship with the 3rd Baron Hesketh KBE PC, Conservative Chief Whip in the House of Lords 1991–93. Cameron's maternal grandfather was Sir William Mount, 2nd Baronet, an army officer and the High Sheriff of Berkshire, and Cameron's maternal great-grandfather was Sir William Mount Bt CBE, Conservative MP for Newbury 1910–1922. Lady Ida Feilding, Cameron's great-great grandmother, was third daughter of William Feilding, Earl of Denbigh and Desmond GCH PC, a courtier and Gentleman of the Bedchamber.

  • Hauslab-Liechtenstein Map Collection
    The Occasional Papers Series No. 14 A Philip Lee Phillips Map Society Publication The Hauslab–Liechtenstein Map Collection Walter W. Ristow i The Occasional Papers A Philip Lee Phillips Map Society Publication Editorial Staff: Ryan J. Moore Chief Editor, Design and Layout Anna Balaguer Editor David Ducey Copy Editor Geography and Map Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. Summer 2018 The Hauslab-Liechtenstein Map Collection By Walter Ristow (1908-2006) Edited by Ryan J. Moore Foreword It is with great pleasure we have republished former Geography and Map Chief Walter Ristow’s article on the Hauslab-Liechtenstein Map Collection. The piece originally appeared in the April 1978 edition of The Quarterly Journal of the Library of Congress, which is no longer in publication. The Division has chosen to posthumously republish the article forty years later because for the first time a catalog record and a finding aid, both completed in 2018, represent the collection online. Ristow’s article was invaluable in the preparation of these resources. In fact, Ristow’s article remains the most substantial study of this amazing and unique collection of cartography that dates from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. The collection has an interesting provenance, which I shall leave to Ristow’s article to tell in complete detail. However, briefly stated, the materials were collected by the Austrian general and mapmaker Franz Ritter von Hauslab (1798-1883). Upon Hauslab’s death, Prince Johann II of Liechtenstein (1840-1929) purchased the collection, and following World War II, the Princely House of Liechtenstein later sold it along with portions of their own collection to New York antiquarian dealer Hans Peter Kraus (1907-1988).

  • The Princely House of Liechtenstein in the History of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown Introduction the History of the Liecht
    The Princely House of Liechtenstein in the History of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown Introduction MAREK VAŘEKA – ALEŠ ZÁŘICKÝ The history of the Liechtensteins, princes from 1608, is inextricably connected with the history of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown. The activities of this dynasty can be traced continuously from the Middle Ages to 1945, when they were interrupted for a time until their revival in the presen day – based on new, democratic principlex in an emerging integrated Europe. The main aim of the international conference The Princely House of Liechtenstein in the History of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown was to present and discuss the history of this dynasty in the widest possible range of contexts – not only in relation to the Czech lands but also in conncection with the Habsburg monarchy and Europe as a whole. The conference – the first Czech-Liechtenstein academic event after the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries – took place on 24–26 November 2010 in the impressive surroundings of the Archdiocesan Museum in Olomouc; it was organized by the Centre for Economic and Social History at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ostrava in conjunction with the Historical Society of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The event featured 45 academics from 7 European countries, and was held under the auspices of the Prince of Liechtenstein Hans Adam II, the Archibishop of Olomouc and Metropolitan of Moravia Mons. Jan Graubner, and the Auxiliary Bishop of Olomouc and Titular Bishop of Thunudrum, Mons. Josef Hrdlička. The individual panel discussions at the conference traced the history of the dynasty, individual figures, their political, economic and cultural activities, and aspects of their everyday lives.

  • Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72
    º Creation of Order of Chivalry Page 0 of 72 º PREFACE Knights come in many historical forms besides the traditional Knight in shining armor such as the legend of King Arthur invokes. There are the Samurai, the Mongol, the Moors, the Normans, the Templars, the Hospitaliers, the Saracens, the Teutonic, the Lakota, the Centurions just to name a very few. Likewise today the Modern Knight comes from a great variety of Cultures, Professions and Faiths. A knight was a "gentleman soldier or member of the warrior class of the Middle Ages in Europe. In other Indo-European languages, cognates of cavalier or rider French chevalier and German Ritter) suggesting a connection to the knight's mode of transport. Since antiquity a position of honor and prestige has been held by mounted warriors such as the Greek hippeus and the Roman eques, and knighthood in the Middle Ages was inextricably linked with horsemanship. Some orders of knighthood, such as the Knights Templar, have themselves become the stuff of legend; others have disappeared into obscurity. Today, a number of orders of knighthood continue to exist in several countries, such as the English Order of the Garter, the Swedish Royal Order of the Seraphim, and the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav. Each of these orders has its own criteria for eligibility, but knighthood is generally granted by a head of state to selected persons to recognize some meritorious achievement. In the Legion of Honor, democracy became a part of the new chivalry. No longer was this limited to men of noble birth, as in the past, who received favors from their king.

  • Freedom and Prosperity in Liechtenstein: a Hoppean Analysis
    JOURNAL OF LIBERTARIAN STUDIES S JL VOLUME 22 (2010): 273–93 FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY IN LIECHTENSTEIN: A HOPPEAN ANALYSIS ANDREW YOUNG LIECHTENSTEIN HAS LONG BEEN recognized as one of the most free and prosperous countries in the world. However, there has been little analy- sis of Liechtenstein’s development because the scant research that existed was in German and therefore inaccessible to most American scholars. Furthermore, many saw no need to study Liechtenstein, view- ing it as an accident of history with an anachronistic political system. Liechtenstein’s Monarchy, unlike the monarchies in most other European states, retains extensive powers and is involved in the day-to- day operations of government. In fact, in 2003, Liechtensteiners voted to give the Monarchy even more power, prompting the BBC to remark that they had “voted to make their prince an absolute monarch again.”1 Recent scholarship, however, allows us to examine the reasons for Liechtenstein’s success. David Beattie, former British Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein, published a comprehensive history of Liechtenstein in 2004.2 This book, along with Pierre Raton’s earlier research, provides sufficient material to analyze Liechtenstein’s devel- opment. ANDREW YOUNG was a law student at the University of Louisville. He would like to thank Professor Sean Busick for his comments on an earlier version of this article and Professor Hans-Hermann Hoppe for helping to clarify my under- standing of Prince Hans-Adam II’s position on secession. This article also ben- efited from the comments of an anonymous referee. All opinions and interpre- tations, of course, are entirely my own, and I alone am responsible for any errors.
