The wedding of Princess Anna Lobkowicz and Count Albrecht von Eltz

 



The marriage of Princess Anna Lobkowicz and Count Albrecht von und zu Eltz gennant Faust von Stromberg took place in the Wallfahrtskirche  in Tuntenhausen, Upper Bavaria on July 17.  

The princess is the third of six children of Prince Maria Erich-Georg Gabriel Lobkowicz and Countess Christina von Hohenthal und Bergen.   Her full name is Anna Elisabeth Maria Christina Balthasara Margaretha and she was born in Munich on July 20, 1987.   

Count Albrecht was born in Munich on October 10, 1988.  He is the second of three children of Count Peter Ladislaus Erwein Engelbert Alexander Maria Johann Nepomuk  von und zu Eltz gennant Faust von Stromberg and Countess Maria-Georgina Ghislaine Caaroline von Quadt zy Wykradt und Isny.   Maria-Georgina's mother was Princess Marie-Charlotte of Bavaria,  second daughter of Albrecht, Duke of Bavaria and Countess Maria Draskovich of Trakostjan.

The bride and her father arrived at the church in a vintage car, which the Germans call an oldtimer. More than 300 guests attended the Roman Catholic service, which was followed by a reception at Prince and Princess Erich's home, Schloss Maxlrain, which is adjacent to the family-owned Schlossbraurei Maxlrain. 

The wedding celebrations culminated with a formal evening party, also held at the Schloss.

The newlyweds are third cousins once removed as both descend from Prince Georg Christian Lobkowicz (1835-1908) and Princess Anna of Liechtenstein (1846-1924).  Count Albrecht has American roots as well as he is a descendant of Cornelius Vanderbilt II (1843-1899) and Alice Claypoole Gwynne through their youngest daughter Gladys Moore Vanderbilt (1886–1965) who married in 1908 to Hungarian Count László Jenő Mária Henrik Simon Széchenyi (1879–1938).

Gladys' youngest daughter, Ferdinandine Széchényi (1923-2016) married Count Alexander von und zu Eltz (1911–1977) in 1946.   Count Peter is their elder son.

Basenbox was founded by Countess Philippa von Hoyos, with her brother, Leopold Lovrek, and Count Albrecht in 2016.  Philippa's cousin, Lukas Lovrek joined the company in 2017.

The box meals, which can be ordered in Vienna and Munich, are, according to Count Albrecht, who was interviewed by In Style magazine in January 2022, "a balanced form of plant-based nutrition.  It's about relieving the acid-base balance."

All the meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner are organic, plant-based, and vegan).
