“She is unfit for her position both as Empress and as wife”: Elisabeth and Dr. Seeburger
Left: Doctor Johann Seeburger, by Ludwig Angerer, c. 1860. Via the Royal Collection Trust. Right: Empress Elisabeth of Austria, by Ludwig Angerer, c. 1861. Via Wikimedia Commons.
I had this sitting on my drafts for months, yet I didn’t find any motivation to finish this post. That is, until the first teaser of Die Kaiserin season 2 dropped, featuring, among other things, a scene in which Elisabeth spits a doctor in the face. And while something as rude as this never happened, the young empress of Austria did have a troubled relationship with one doctor at the Habsburg court: Johann Seeburger. I don’t know if the doctor in the teaser is meant to be him, but given that he and Elisabeth ended up being borderline hostile towards each other, I wouldn’t be surprised if Seeburger was the inspiration (assuming the doctor is an actual character with lines and not a random physician that will get spit on the face for no reason). So without further ado, let’s look at what we know about Elisabeth and Seeburger’s relationship.
I couldn’t find information on Dr Johann Seeburger, only that he was born in 1800, and seems to have worked at court since at least the beginning of the reign of Franz Josef (probably earlier, since it was very difficult to access court). We don’t know what kind of relationship Elisabeth and Seeburger had when they met, as biographers don’t make any mention of it. He attended Elisabeth during her first pregnancy, and I think it’s safe to assume he also treated her during her second one. Seeburger wasn’t the only doctor consulted - Doctor Heinrich Fischer, the Wittelsbach’s personal physician, was also called for a second opinion.
Aunt Luise [Elisabeth’s mother]’s Doctor Fischer, in whom I have a great deal of confidence, has arrived here... [He was] delighted by Sisi’s blooming appearance and finds her whole condition very satisfactory. He and Seeburger say that the great moment will come at the end of February, at least the first days of March... (Praschl-Bichler, 2008)
Elisabeth probably felt more comfortable with Fischer, who had been her doctor back in Bavaria, than with Seeburger, so it’s not odd they called him for a second opinion.
It is not only until the Imperial family’s ill-fated Hungarian trip of 1857 that Sisi’s biographers mention Seeburger again - for in this trip, her first child tragically died.
The little archduchesses Sophie and Gisela arrived in Hungary on May 5 of 1857, a day after their parents, but they never joined them in the tour - the girls were to stay in Buda, where the Imperial couple could visit them during the short breaks of the packed tour schedule, which was meant to last two months. The visit started off well, but only a few days after their arrival, Gisela fell ill with fever.
Gisela’s fever was first attributed to teething, but the next day her sister Sophie also fell ill. Franz Josef and Sisi were meant to leave Buda and continue their journey through eastern Hungary, but the emperor postponed the journey for ten days as the girls continued to be sick. This did not mean that the parents were always next to their daughters, as historian Martina Winkelhofer notes, “the days that were now free were filled with further receptions and audiences. Only the evening festive events were cancelled.” (2022)
After three days Gisela got better, but Sophie showed no improvement. Dr Seeburger was among the physicians that were present attending the young archduchesses, but still Franz Josef called the pediatrician Josef-Michael Götz from Vienna. “The latter was not only the author of the manual Care and Treatment of Sick Children during the Early Phase of Life (1842), which is in the imperial court library, but had also studied the ‘course of the great epidemics (cholera, typhus, influenza) in children’.” (ibid, 2022)
Götz left a day after being summoned, but Baby Sophie only got worse. At this point the parents were feeling desperate: Franz Josef wrote to his mother Archduchess Sophie that the girl’s cries “tore his heart apart”, and added that “‘What Sisi and I are suffering, you can imagine!’” (Praschl-Bichler, 2008). Baby Sophie was diagnosed with typhus, and the pediatrician was recalled. After a hard night it seemed the child showed signs of being better, and it was believed she would recover. So on May 21, the Imperial couple was given the all-clear by the doctors to finally continue their tour.
Here is where things get a bit odd. Quoting Winkelhofer again (emphasis by me):
Elisabeth and Franz Joseph then set off from Buda to Jászberényi with a solemn entrance into the city. On the fourth day of the tour, however - as can be read in the travel protocol - there arrived “a telegraphic dispatch about the condition of Her Imperial Highness Archduchess Sophie from Buda, the contents of which distressed His Majesty to such an extent that Her Royal Highness’s departure was already scheduled for noon”. The telegram probably came from Sophie’s aja, and may have been sent without consulting the doctors because, as soon as the decision to leave was made, a report from the court physicians arrived: “His Majesty [had] decided to interrupt the sudden departure that had already begun”. (2022)
What happened? We can only speculate - whether the aya realized that Sophie hadn’t recovered before the doctors, whether the doctors’ report arrived before the girl’s health worsened. Whatever actually happened, those hours of delay were to result crucial: the next morning Sophie was in critical condition. The parents, who were in Debrecen at the moment, only arrived in Buda the following morning, where they found their child already at death’s door. That afternoon, on May 29, the two years-old Sophie died.
I went in detail on the last days of Baby Sophie because I think they’re crucial to understand the aftermath of her death. Having been away from her daughter during her final days was a great source of torment for Elisabeth, who blamed herself for leaving the child when they thought she was going to make it. Unsurprisingly, she also felt the physicians had failed in saving her daughter. According to her biographer Egon Conte Corti, the young empress tried to have Seeburger dismissed, but Archduchess Sophie’s intervention prevented it. (1936, p. 75)
I always feel that biographers focus too much on how grief made Elisabeth act “irrational” - to the point they ignore that she had a genuine reason to be upset at Dr Seeburger. Was she being fair? I don’t know, it was the 19th century, who knows if there was any doctor who could’ve cured Baby Sophie. I want to believe that all the doctors who treated her truly did as much as they could to help the girl. Corti claims that until the end Seeburger “was very crestfallen, but when pressed with questions he would only say that he had not given up hope.” (ibid, p. 73). But it was Seeburger and the medical staff who ultimately told Elisabeth and Franz Josef that it was safe to leave Sophie and continue the trip, and it was he who sent the report that prevented them from coming back earlier the 28th. Perhaps her animosity towards the doctor was unfair, but the way I see it, it was also understandable.
After this, the relationship between the empress and the court doctor became tense. Unlike her first two, Sisi’s third pregnancy and labor were very difficult. She wasn’t allowed to nurse Rudolf - which was the norm, but she had a large influx of milk that caused her a lot of pain. More concerning, she caught fever during the puerperium, but even though Laxemburg (where the Crown Prince had been born and the empress was recovering) was cooling, as it didn’t have heating, Seeburger didn’t order to move the empress to a different palace. Winkelhofer notes that the physician’s attitude is surprising, since there was a real danger of puerperal fever. Archduchess Sophie had to write (emphasis by me):
telegram after telegram to convince the Emperor and Seeburger that it was only the unhealthy air in Laxenburg that was causing Sisi’s fever attacks and that a speedy transfer of Sisi to my warm parlours in Schönbrunn [Sophie was staying in Ischl], well protected in a closed carriage during the warm midday hours, would certainly be advisable. Seeburger did not want to go along with this idea at first, but after the second attack of fever he said he would bring Sisi to Schönbrunn in the middle of this month; if only the bad weather did not throw a spanner in the works! (Praschl-Bichler, 2008; also in Winkelhofer, 2022)
Only months after Rudolf’s birth, Austria was at war with Sardinia. The war took a great toll on Sisi’s mental health, and she was visibly stressed. The court society found their empress disappointing: they wanted an icon of hope, a figurehead who would visit hospitals and attend public events to lift the spirits of the Viennese. But Elisabeth was only a twenty-years old woman who hadn’t known peace for the past years, and courtiers could not forgive her this. Dr Seeburger was no exception. During a meeting, the physician told the Viennese police officer that:
She [Elisabeth] is unfit for her position both as Empress and as wife; though she has really nothing to do. Her relations with the children are most perfunctory, and though she grieves and weeps over the noble Emperor’s absence, she goes out riding for hours on end, ruining her health. An icy gulf separates her from the Archduchess Sophie, and the Mistress of the Household, the Countess Esterhazy, has absolutely no influence over her. (Corti, 1936, p. 81)
If you’ve read any biography of Sisi, you’ve probably read this quote. Authors who cite this statement usually focus on what Seeburger said: Elisabeth was acting “crazy” during the war, she didn’t have a good relationship with her kids, she and her mother-in-law couldn’t stand each other anymore. His word is usually taken at face value, even if the author citing him notes that Seeburger and Sisi didn’t like each other much. Martina Winkelhofer is the only historian I’ve read who takes into account the context in which the court doctor said this, and considers what it meant (emphasis by me):
These strong words show how unfairly the emperor’s closest entourage behaved towards Elisabeth. Even if this was the court physician’s personal opinion, someone so close to the imperial family should not have expressed himself in this way. Details about members of the household were taboo and observing their silence was a sign of the loyalty necessary for a career at court. Seeburger could have written about his disappointment in the form of a diary, as many did, without publicly defaming the imperial couple. By revealing such intimacies to the police minister, who had a widespread network of informants and contacts in all parts of society, he damaged the emperor. In addition, Seeburger’s complaints contained a good deal of misogyny, because all he did was deny Elisabeth the right to be a woman, wife and mother, even out loud. (2022)
Seeburger’s statement about Elisabeth wasn’t a neutral observation: he was badmouthing her after years of having a bad relationship with her, something many authors don’t seem to realize when citing him. As Winkelhofer also notes, although Archduchess Sophie was indeed not getting along with her daughter-in-law at this time, she did not write nor say a bad thing about Elisabeth, because attacking the empress was the same as attacking the monarchy. Even if you think Seeburger was right, I don’t think you should omit the context in which he said what he said.
When Elisabeth fell mysteriously ill in 1861, she wasn’t attended by Seeburger. Many doctors treated the empress the following two years, but it was eventually her trusted family doctor, Heinrich Fischer, who was able to cure Sisi: when he finally took charge of her treatment in 1862, he concluded that she had been misdiagnosed by her previous doctors; most importantly, he seems to have noticed that her ailments weren’t only physical, but also mental. He remained her personal physician until his death in 1874. (Winkelhofer, 2022)
Elisabeth and Seeburger had a complicated relationship, to say the least. We are still missing a lot of information, but for what I could gather, the hostility between the two isn’t really surprising. What’s surprising is how this entire context is missing in so many books about the empress, especially when Seeburger’s famous quote is brought up.

While I am aware of the fact that the funding you receive within the system you inhabit must have made you forgetful of what art really is about, I still want to remind you that (fortunately for precarious writers like myself), you are not Literature. Your money is not Literature. S. Fischer is not Literature. Germany is not Literature. And we, the writers, will remember.
Lana Bastašić in response to the cancellation of her upcoming residency and reading at Literaturfest Salzburg and Literaturhaus NÖ by Josef Kirchner and Anna Weidenholzer, January 30, 2024.

Heimrad Prem (1934 – 1978) was a German painter born in Roding, Oberpfalz. From 1949–1952 he studied decorative painting at Schwandorf, then studied painting with Josef Oberberger and sculpture with Toni Stadler at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Munich until 1956.

Old Vienna
Anno 1907
Hotel Kranz heute Hotel Ambassador
Hotel Krantz, heute Hotel Ambassador.
VORGÄNGERBAUTEN
Auf diesem Grundstück standen ursprünglich drei Gebäude. Während Haus A vom Neuen Markt bis in die Kärntner Straße reichte (Hauptfront am Neuen Markt), lagen die Häuser B (zwischen Haus A und Stadt 1053 [ Kärntner Straße 20 ]) und C (zwischen Haus A und Stadt 1044 [ Kärntner Straße 24 ]) in der Kärntner Straße.
Haus A "Zur Mehlgrube"
Die Geschichte dieses Hauses lässt sich bis in die Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts zurückverfolgen. Damals trug es den Namen "Zu den drei Köpfen" (siehe auch Bei den drei Köpfen). Ab 1453 gehörte es der Stadt, die es neu errichtete und bis gegen Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts als Mehldepot und Metzenleihanstalt (Metzenleihamt) nutzte. Dadurch erhielt es den Namen "Zur Mehlgrube"
1698 wurde es abgebrochen und durch einen Neubau ersetzt, der ebenfalls "Mehlgrube" genannt wurde und dem möglicherweise ein Entwurf von Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach zugrunde lag (Baumeister waren Georg Powanger und Christian Oedtl). Darin befand sich das Gasthaus "Zur Mehlgrube". Hier fanden exklusive Bälle für den Adel (Ahnenbälle), aber auch zahlreiche Kinder- und Maskenbälle sowie Musikfeste statt. Später verkehrte in diesem Lokal das Bürgertum, außerdem wurden hier die "Liebhaberkonzerte" abgehalten, bei denen unter anderen auch Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart und Johann Nepomuk Hummel auftraten. Danach wurde es als Casino genutzt und 1866 zu einem Hotel (Hotel Munsch) umgewandelt (ausführlichere Beschreibung dieses Hauses im Artikel Mehlgrube).
Haus B "Zum Glücksrad"
Die erste urkundliche Nennung dieses Hauses stammt aus dem Jahr 1355. Im Jahr 1413 wird zum ersten Mal der Schildname "Zum Glücksrad" genannt. Die Gemeinde erwarb das Haus, das mit einer Weinschankgerechtigkeit ausgestattet war, im Jahr 1696. Es blieb bis zum Abbruch, der zwischen 1850 und 1858 erfolgt sein muss, in deren Besitz. Danach wurde das Grundstück in das Haus A miteinbezogen.
Haus C
Dieses Gebäude wird nur in den Jahren 1453 und 1454 urkundlich genannt. Danach muss es wohl im Mehlkasten (Haus A) aufgegangen sein.
Heutiges Haus
Das heutige Haus wurde 1897/1898 nach Plänen von Franz Kupka und Gustav Orglmeister im Stil italienischer Renaissance erbaut und entstand auf wesentlich verringerter Grundfläche. Die eleganten Räume des Erdgeschoßes auf Seite der Kärntner Straße wurden als Restaurant genutzt. Eine besondere Sehenswürdigkeit bildete der Majolikasaal im Souterrain, in dem die Wände und die auf Pfeilern ruhenden Kreuzgewölbe zur Gänze mit gemalten und farbigen Majolikaplatten verkleidet waren. Die Baukosten wurden mit 1,2 Millionen Kronen angegeben.
Mit Kaufvertrag vom 10. November 1919 wurde das Hotel, das vorher Josef Krantz gehörte, von der "Hotel Krantz AG" erworben. In den Jahren 1921 und 1922 wurde es vollständig renoviert und mit dem damals modernsten Komfort (interurbane Telefone auf allen Zimmern, Bade- und Toilettezimmer, elektrische Uhren und dergleichen) ausgestattet. Bis zur teilweisen Zerstörung während des Zweiten Weltkriegs hatte das Hotel 105 Zimmer mit 150 Betten. Auch ein Konzertcafé und ein Volkskeller gehörten zum Hotel. An der linken Seitenfläche des Portalvorbaus befanden sich eine elektrisch betriebene Weltzeituhr und darunter ein Wetterkasten (beides wurde im Krieg zerstört und schließlich entfernt).
Zu den Gästen zählten König Albert von Belgien, Königin Elisabeth und König Carol von Rumänien, Carola, Königin-Witwe von Sachsen, König Ferdinand von Bulgarien, Prinzregent Luitpold von Bayern und US-Präsident Theodore Roosevelt, der in Wien mit Kaiser Franz Joseph I. zusammentraf.
Am 12. März 1945 erlitt das Hotel zwei schwere Bombentreffer (wahrscheinlich von 500-Kilogramm-Bomben). Dadurch wurde fast die Hälfte des Baus, vor allem aber der Mitteltrakt bis zum ersten Stockwerk, zerstört. Nach dem Krieg wurde das Haus als Hotel Ambassador neu eröffnet. Bereits im August 1947 standen zwei Drittel der Zimmer wieder in Verwendung. Auch nach 1945 wurden hier wieder Gäste untergebracht, die für Österreich von staatlichem oder wirtschaftlichem Interesse waren. Besonderes Aufsehen erregte der Besuch des Kaisers von Äthiopien, Haile Sellasie, der mit Frau und Tochter hier wohnte

Geschichte und Entwicklung Die Altstadt Ludwigshafen am Rhein entstand im Mittelalter und wuchs im Laufe der Jahrhunderte zu einem bedeutenden Handels- und Kulturzentrum heran.

Der Krieg in der Ukraine vor unserer Haustür und der Krieg in Gaza, der sich zu einem Flächenbrand ausweiten könnte, haben scheinbar nichts mit uns zu tun. Wenn wir die staatsnahen Medien lesen, erfahren wir nur, dass wir die Guten unterstützen sollen. Dafür sollen wir ins Kriegshorn blasen und tatkräftig mit Waffen und Geld helfen. Denn in der Ukraine wird unsere Freiheit verteidigt und Israel kämpft um sein Existenzrecht. Da haben wir als Deutsche natürlich eine ganz besondere Verpflichtung! Aber in der Ukraine geht es nicht um unsere Freiheit, sondern um die globale Hegemonie des Westens, und in Gaza wird nicht das Existenzrecht Israels verteidigt, sondern das palästinensische Volk vertrieben und ermordet.
Wer sich auf einen Meinungsaustausch oder eine diskursive Auseinandersetzung mit der staatlich verordneten Meinung einlassen will, wer an den vorgegebenen "Narrativen" zweifelt oder gar fundiertes Wissen besitzt, das sie widerlegt, wird entweder zum Putin-Troll oder zum Antisemiten. Das macht es der Friedensbewegung heute schwer.
Wettrüsten! Was für ein Unwort! Als ginge es um einen sportlichen Wettkampf und nicht um Totrüsten!
"Deinem Vater sagen sie jetzt: Gegen die Völkermörder. Für die Menschenrechte. Für den Frieden. Unglaublich - er glaubt es." Franz-Josef Degenhard nahm 1996 vorweg, was sich drei Jahre später im Jugoslawienkrieg bewahrheiten sollte. Denn Joschka Fischer begründete als Außenminister das deutsche Engagement bei der Bombardierung Belgrads tatsächlich damit, ein zweites Auschwitz verhindern zu wollen. Und: Viele glaubten ihm! Nun war der Krieg eine humanitäre Intervention, wenig später ein Kampf gegen den Terrorismus.
Dreißig Jahre brutale neoliberale Politik und dreißig Jahre intensiv konzertierte Medienarbeit zeigen Wirkung: Immer wieder wird in die Köpfe gehämmert, dass Kriege, die mit deutscher Unterstützung, mental oder materiell, ideologisch oder mit Waffen geführt werden, ausschließlich der Friedenssicherung dienen. Unglaublich, das wird geglaubt! Und wer etwas anderes behauptet, ist fremdgesteuert oder bestenfalls naiv. Zum Vorwurf der Fremdsteuerung gesellt sich neuerdings der des Paktierens mit den Nazis oder der des Antisemitismus.
Spätestens seit der Corona-Krise wird Protest massiv kriminalisiert, die Meinungsfreiheit immer mehr eingeschränkt, Grundrechte abgebaut. Und das Ganze ist sogar justiziabel und führt im Zweifelsfall zu Strafprozessen.
