Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Princely House of Thurn and Taxis (German: das Fürstenhaus Thurn und Taxis) is a German family that was a key player in the postal services in Europe in the 16th century and is well known as owners of breweries and builders of countless castles. Rainer Maria Rilke wrote his Duino Elegies while visiting Princess Marie of Thurn and Taxis (née princess of Hohenlohe) at her family''s Duino castle. Rilke later dedicated his only novel The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge to the princess, who was his patroness. Marie''s relation to Regensburg''s Thurn and Taxis is rather distant, however; she was married to Alexander Thurn and Taxis, a member of the family''s branch that in the early 19th century settled in Bohemia (now Czech Republic) and became strongly connected to Czech national culture and history.
