Archduke Rainer Ferdinand Maria Johann
Evangelist Franz Ignaz of Austria (11 January 1827 – 27 January 1913), a member
of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine and nephew of Emperor Francis II, was an
Austrian politician who served as Minister-President of Austria from 1861 to
1865.
Born in Milan, the capital of the Austrian
Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia, he was a son of Viceroy Archduke Rainer of Austria
(1783–1853) and his consort Princess Elisabeth of Savoy (1800–1856). Rainer
spent most of his youth at the Royal Villa of Monza. He studied law at the
University of Vienna and in 1843 joined the Austrian Imperial Army in the rank
of an Oberst (Colonel).
In 1852, he married his cousin Archduchess Maria Karoline of Austria
(1825–1915), a daughter of Archduke Charles, known for his victory at the 1809
Battle of Aspern. The marriage was a very happy one, and, with numerous public
appearances and charitable activities, the couple was probably the most popular
amongst the Habsburg family. The lavish celebration of their diamond wedding in
1912 was rated as one of the last great events of the dissolving
Austro-Hungarian Monarchy before World War I. However, the marriage remained
childless.
In 1854, Rainer achieved the rank of Generalmajor in the Imperial Army and in
1861 was raised to Feldmarschall-Leutnant (Field marshal lieutenant). Beside his
military career, he was also interested in art and science, in particular the
emerging Papyrology. In 1899 he donated his extensive Faiyum papyrus collection
to the Austrian National Library, part of the UNESCO Memory of the World
Register since 2001.
Already in 1857, Archduke Rainer was appointed president of the Austrian
Imperial Council by Emperor Francis Joseph I. In the course of the
implementation of the 1861 February Patent constitution, he took up office as
nominal Minister-President chairing the liberal cabinet of State Minister Anton
von Schmerling.
