Austrian Royalty: Grand Duke Karl Ludwig (1918- )


Figure 1.--Here we see Grand Duke Karl Ludwig with his brother Rudolph. We would guess the photograph was taken about 1925.

We do not have much information on Carl Ludwig. As he and Rudolph were born about the same time, they were very close. They were often dressed similarly and had their hair styled the same. The Austrian monarchy was abolished in 1918 and an attempt to established a Hungarian monmarchy failed. Thus Carl Ludwig and Rudolph necer experienced life as aince in an illustrious ruling family. They lived with their family as royal refugees in Switzerland and other countries. We have one impage of Karl Ludwig with his brother in Spain. Carl Ludwig was like his brothers briefly associated with the U.S. Army Free Austria Brigade in 1943.
