The Prince of Prussia, living in Munich, is the great-grandson of the last German emperor, Wilhelm II, and a successful businessman who has held senior positions in private and public media companies. He knew our namesake and corresponded with him, as did several members of his extended family. The princely couple listened with great interest to our report on the work of our Foundation and the management of the collection because the Hohenzollern dynasty is faced with dilemmas similar to those of the Habsburgs in the preservation, processing and research of the documents in their family archives.
Our guests offered to organise a visit to their family archives in Hohenzollern Castle during our exhibitions on Otto von Habsburg’s life, which were planned to be held in October in Stuttgart and Metzingen.
