Aloysius Liechtenstein (Red Prince)


Prince Alojzy Liechtenstein (Aloys, Prinz von und zu Liechtenstein), also called the Red Prince (Roter Prinz) (born 18 November 1846 in Vienna, March 25, 1920) is an Austrian politician The Liechtenstein family, one of the founders of the Austrian Christian-Social Party and its president in 1910-1918.

He was the cousin of John II, Prince of Liechtenstein. He studied law at the University of Vienna. In the early 1970s he worked in the Austrian diplomatic service. On his return to the country he became involved in political activities as an opponent of liberalism and an advocate of social reform, working with Karl von Vogelsang. In 1878 he was elected to the House of Deputies of the Austrian Reichsrat. In 1881, with his brother Alfred founded a Christian-social Liechtensteinklub. In 1888, he headed the conservative parliamentary club of the Center and made a speech on the project of establishing religious schools. In the face of the controversy raised by this idea, he made a mandate in 1889.

He was in close contact with Karl Lueger, with whom he founded the Austrian Christian-Social Party. He was one of its most important activists, and again he sat down (from 1891) in the Reichsrat House of Deputies. In 1896 he was also a member of the Lower Austrian National Sejm, and in 1906-1918 he even served as the Marshal of the country. In 1907 he joined the party of the Catholic-conservative movement (which was his goal for a long time). After Lueger's death, Liechtenstein, who was one of the main ideological leaders of the party, became its new chairman (1910). A year later he lost his parliamentary mandate, but was later a member of the House of Lords of the Reichsrat. He resigned in 1918. Bibliography Authoritative control (person):
