Timeline

1815

His great-grandfather was Austrian Chancellor Prince Klemens von Metternich, who established a lasting peace at the Congress of Vienna in 1815.

In recognition of the Chancellor's services, the Emperor of Austria gave him a title and the estate of Johannisberg on the Rhine.

In the Spanish Civil War, he volunteered on the Nationalist side to fight with his cousins and friends.

1881

Tatiana von Metternich-Winneburg was born in Saint Petersburg, the second daughter of Prince Hilarion Sergueïevitch Vassiltchikov (1881–1969), a member of the Russian Imperial Parliament Fourth Duma, and his wife, the former Princess Lidiya Leonidovna Vyazemskaya (1886–1946).

1915

Princess Tatiana von Metternich-Winneburg (born Princess Tatiana Hilarionovna Vassiltchikova (Татья́на Илларио́новна Васи́льчикова); 1 January 1915 – 26 July 2006) was a Russian aristocrat, philanthropist, artist, and patron of the arts.

She published her books and watercolours under the name Tatiana von Metternich.

She supported charity, especially the Red Cross and the Order of St. Lazarus, which she served as Grand Bailiff for Germany.

She was a founding member of the Rheingau Musik Festival, made parts of Schloss Johannisberg available as concert venues for the festival and served as the president of its Kuratorium until her death.

1917

They took refuge, initially in France, where she and her sister Princess Marie Vassiltchikov (1917–1978), called Missie, were educated at the Lycée of St Germain-en-Laye.

She studied painting in Munich and later the family rejoined her father in Lithuania where she worked as a secretary at the British Embassy.

She moved to England but was unable to get a work permit, so she moved to Germany, where she eventually employed as a translator by the German Foreign Office.

Her sister Missie joined her shortly before they settled in Berlin.

Due to the tendency of the Nazi party members to bypass the Foreign Ministry staff when formulating policy, as described in the Berlin diaries by Princess Marie, the Foreign Office effectively became a gathering place for civilian members of the anti-Nazi resistance.

Her sister kept diaries of her life in the plotters' circle.

1919

The family fled Russia in 1919, following the Bolshevik October Revolution by joining a group of people who had been evacuated by the British fleet.

King George V of the United Kingdom was the cousin of the last Tsar and maternal nephew of widowed Empress Maria Feodorovna.

King George V persuaded Prime Minister David Lloyd George to send a ship to Crimea to save his aunt, but the Empress refused to leave unless those who wished to flee the country with her were also rescued.

The British sent additional ships to evacuate the entire group, including the Vassiltchikov family.

1940

Princess Marie described these years in her memoirs The Berlin Diaries 1940–1945 of Marie "Missie" Vassiltchikov (1985).

Tatiana met her future husband, who was then an ordinary soldier in the German army.

He was a half-Austrian and half-Spanish member of the Metternich family.

1941

On 6 September 1941 in Berlin-Grunewald, she married Paul Alfons von Metternich-Winneburg, Prince of Metternich-Winneburg, Grandee of Spain, 1941 of Portella and Count of Königswart (1917–1992), son of Clemens von Metternich, Prince of Metternich-Winneburg, and Isabel de Silva y Carvajal, countess of Castillejo.

They were married on 6 September 1941 by Father Shahovski, later Archbishop of John of San Francisco.

As a son of a Spanish noble woman with close links to Spain, the Spanish Embassy provided support for the wedding.

The couple lived in Berlin and then in the Metternich family's Schloss Königswart in the Egerland (now in the Czech Republic).

During the war, she administered the Metternich estates while her husband served in the German army.

When her husband told her of his transfer to the Russian front, she went to Army HQ without his knowledge to ask for a transfer.

A few days later, she received a call informing her that her husband would be transferred as Liaison officer to the Spanish Blue Division.

1942

It had been destroyed by bombing in 1942.

1945

After the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia in 1945, they lived in Schloss Johannisberg, the family's estate in Geisenheim, in the Rheingau.

1974

In 1974, they shared ownership of the castle and the winery with the Oetker Group.

1976

In 1976, she published her memoirs under the title Tatiana: Five Passports in a Shifting Europe, which she updated and republished in 1988 as Tatiana: Full Circle in a Shifting Europe.

1987

In 1987, she was a founding member of the Rheingau Musik Festival, together with Michael Herrmann, Claus Wisser, Carl Jung, Walter Fink and others.

She made parts of Schloss Johannisberg available as concert venues for the festival, turning the East Wing of the building into a concert hall.

After her husband's death, the hall was named "Fürst-von-Metternich-Saal".

1992

After her husband's death in 1992, she sold the property completely to Oetker, but retained the right to live on the premises.
