#crown princess antonia of bavaria

[royal-confessions]

“Crown princess Antonia of Bavaria had such a tragic life. She was imprisoned in a concentration camp, due to her and her husband’s not supporting the nazis. She was reportedly tortured and was very malnourished when they found her in a hospital. She never talked about her experiences and vowed that she would never return to Germany. She died prematurely in her mid fifties after a decade of suffering from the aftermath.” - Submitted by Anonymous

[leifgrandeduchesse]

Grand Duchess Charlotte photographed with her freed sister Antonia, Crown Princess of Bavaria, and a nurse in 1945.

“Both Grand Duchess Charlotte and her younger sister, Princess Antonia, spent the wartime years resisting the Nazi regime. The two sisters did not have similar experiences, with Antonia's story being far more tragic than that of her older sister. The cadet sister of Luxembourg’s matriarch was profoundly affected by her wartime experience, which saw Antonia and her daughters imprisoned in several concentration camps. The family [of Antonia and her husband Rupprecht] became associated with a resistance plot in 1939 and the Gestapo seized Wittelsbach properites, including their main residence, Schloss Leutstetten. Rupprecht fled to Italy in exile and Antonia and the children followed not long after. Thus, in parallel with her sister, Antonia was no longer welcome at her home and living in exile, resisting the Nazis. After an assassination attempt was made on Adolf Hitler's life in 1944, Rupprecht and his son Heinrich went underground in Italy, separating from the rest of the family. Rupprecht and the family were quickly designated as opponents to the Nazi regime, and hunted down. The Nazis employed the use of Sippenhaft, the notion of kin liability and that a whole family is liable for the actions of one of the family members, to go after the Wittenbachs. Rupprecht may have been in hiding, but Adolf Hitler personally ordered the arrest of Antonia and her children. The Gestapo managed to capture Rupprecht's son from his first marriage in addition to Antonia and her three youngest daughters in northern Italy on 27 July 1944. Although accounts vary, it is generally believed that Antonia contracted typhus and was left at a hospital in Innsbruck, whilst her daughters were transported to the Sachsenhausen-Oranienburg concentration camp north of Berlin. Princess Irmingard, the eldest daughter of the couple, was captured separately near Lake Garda and brought to the same hospital as her mother. The two were eventually deemed 'well enough' to be transported to Sachsenhausen, although they were separated near Weimar. Generally, the historical consensus is that the family was moved first to Flossenbürg, then Dachau, as the Soviets advanced through eastern Germany. However, one source maintains that Antonia was held at Buchenwald concentration camp and cruelly tortured there. The obituary for Princess Irmingard also reports that her mother was found at a hospital in Jena in April 1945, which is 30 kilometres from Buchenwald. It has been difficult to ascertain the truth of this, but the internment in concentration camps had its toll on Crown Princess Antonia. When found in the hospital, she weighed less than 40 kilograms. The war had its toll on Antonia even in the after-war years. Prince Félix [Charlotte's husband], her brother-in-law, escorted her back to Luxembourg where she was reunited with her sister to recover, and her children joined in May 1945.”

In 1916, the sisters had no idea what fate they would one day live through. Charlotte, Antonia and Hilda (back from left to right) and Sophie, Marie-Adélaïde and Princess Elisabeth.

The sad fate of the Luxembourg princesses

Grand Duchess Maria-Adelheid: She died disempowered and young.

Her life was more than tragic. When Marie-Adélaïde (* 1894- † 1924) was 17 years old, her father Grand Duke William IV died. Because there was no male heir, she was appointed Grand Duchess a few months later at the age of 18. But her reign did not last long. The First World War and many political crises overshadowed their rule. The population and political opponents accused her of being friendly to Germans and lacking patriotism. The long-standing domestic political crisis led to unrest in the country and Marie-Adélaïde was accused. Finally, on January 9, 1919, she abdicated in favor of her younger sister Charlotte.

Marie-Adélaïde eventually joined a monastery in Modena, Italy. But her psyche continued to suffer. The former Grand Duchess became depressed and weaker and weaker. Due to her poor health, she had to give up the monastery life. Finally she began training as a nurse in Munich. But her health was still poor. She showed clear symptoms of paratyphoid, a milder form of typhoid. There was no more salvation. She died on January 24, 1924 at the age of 29. She had never married and had no children. Would she have died so young if she hadn't had to give up the throne? Nobody can say for sure.

Grand Duchess Charlotte: She had to carry her son to the grave.

After her sister abdicated, Charlotte (*1896-1985) ascended the throne. Together with her husband Prince Felix of Bourbon-Parma, she provided plenty of offspring: Their marriage produced six children, including the future Grand Duke Jean († 2019). But even in her fulfilled life, Grand Duchess Charlotte was not spared a stroke of fate: she had to carry her own child to the grave. Her second oldest son, Prince Charles, died of a heart attack at the age of 49.

Princess Hilda: She remained childless.

Princess Hilda (* 1897 - † 1979) was the third oldest daughter of Grand Duke William IV and Marie Anne. In 1930 she married Prince Adolf, 10th Prince of Schwarzenberg. Although many members of the grand ducal family enjoyed a great child blessing, Hilda was not granted a child. She had no offspring with her husband.

Princess Antonia of Luxembourg had to go to the concentration camp.

A terrible fate also befell Princess Antonia. The Luxembourger and her husband, Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, were opponents of the Nazi regime. In 1939 they had to flee from the Nazis into exile in Italy. From there the princess moved on to Hungary with her children. When the Germans occupied the country in 1944, they captured Antonia and her children. The noblewoman was first deported to Sachsenhausen, then transferred to the Dachau concentration camp in April 1945. In the same month, Princess Antonia was freed, but her health suffered considerably from the strain. She died nine years later at the age of 54.

Princess Elisabeth: Her great love died in a car accident.

The fifth oldest of the sisters also experienced a tragedy. Her great love, Prince Ludwig Philipp of Thurn und Taxis, died at the age of just 32 as a result of a car accident. Princess Elisabeth (*1901- † 1950) had to raise her children Prince Anselm (9) and Princess Iniga (then 7) alone. It shouldn't be the last stroke of fate in her life: she too had to bury a child. Her son Anselm died in World War II in 1944.

Princess Sophie: She succumbed to a serious illness at the age of 39.

Princess Sophie (* 1902 - † 1941) was not granted a long life either. The youngest of the sisters died of pneumonia at the age of 39. It was tragic how much suffering the princesses had to experience.
