Florian von Hohenburg

Florian, Prince von Hohenburg (1830-1904) was a Braslander nobleman. He was the son of Prince Adam von Hohenburg.

During his tenure as Prince von Hohenburg, the family's postal system entered into a period of decline. The foreign branches were bought by the respective governments and, in 1871, the Braslander Crown decided to do the same, buying the Hohenburg post in its entirety. Florian, still the richest man in the country, focused on buying new lands and increasing his art collection, as well as building some residences scattered across the country. The family seat, the Inner Palace of St Leon's Abbey, was some sort of Princely Court in Thurwald, where the Hohenburgs had a semi-sovereign status (afforded socially, not legally). Florian patronized countless institutions and generously donated to numerous causes.

In 1855 he married Princess Luisa von Ettingen und Steinbach. They had eleven children: Alexandrine (born 1856), Helene (1857-1860), Adam (born 1859), Philipp (born 1861), Marie Henriette (born 1863), Johanna (born and died 1865), Maria (born 1866), Peter (born 1868; priest), Catharina (born 1871; unmarried), Gerhard (born 1872) and Juliana (born 1874).

He died in 1904.
