- Prince Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg, was an Austrian statesman, a son of Seyfried von Eggenberg (died 1594) and great-grandson of Balthasar von Eggenberg (died 1493). Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg may only have been of simple parentage and had a Protestant upbringing, but, by his own means, he succeeded in becoming one of the most influential Catholic princes in the Holy Roman Empire within just a few decades. His career, however, developed too quickly and too successfully for it to go unnoticed and unenvied. Contemporaries and historians have had differing opinions regarding Eggenberg's character: seeing him as a man ... who is successful at everything he does, a fellow of good fortune, with a reputation of being completely loyal to the Emperor, highly gifted and reliable, but also a corrupt and slippery customer. Both contemporaries and historians are, however, in agreement about his brilliant diplomatic talent, his personal charm and cleverness and his extra-ordinary manner of dealing with people. Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg was born in the June of 1568 in Graz and had a Protestant upbringing, however, little is known about his childhood and youth. In 1583 he travelled to Tübingen, the heartland of German Protestantism, to study at the renowned Protestant university, Tübinger Stift, where he received a profound education. The intellectual dimensions of this education were to later form the basis of the complex programmatic orientations of his new residence, Schloss Eggenberg (Graz). After completing his studies, he embarked on the Grand Tour, a long educational journey undertaken by young noblemen of the period, which took him through The Netherlands, Spain and Italy. After the death of his father in 1594, he returned to Graz to take over the safeguarding and administration of his estate and then soon began his career at the Court of Archduke Ferdinand in Graz. To be able to serve at court he had had to convert to the Catholic faith and subsequently also supported the strict counter-reformatory policies of his master. Hans Ulrich's influence became ever stronger at the Inner Austrian court due to interventions by the Archduchess Maria of Bavaria, Ferdinand's mother. Although ten years his senior, Eggenberg soon became Ferdinand's closest friend and confidant, a relationship that was to last all his life. Archduke Ferdinand was elected Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation in 1619. In his positions as the President of the Privy Council and Lord Chamberlain to his new Emperor, Hans Ulrich, the son of a mercantile family from Graz, had risen to become one of the most significant and influential statesmen of his time during the period of the Thirty Years' War. It is said that between the years of 1619 to 1634 Ferdinand II never made one single significant political decision without seeking the advice of his friend Hans Ulrich, who remained loyal to him throughout the whole of this highly confusing and turbulent period and also throughout the rest of his life. The grateful Emperor rewarded his loyal advisor by bestowing on him the highest honours and ranks of the realm. In 1598 he was awarded the title of baron and in 1628 he became Duke of Krumau, after having been honored by being elevated to a Knight of the Golden Fleece in 1620. Eggenberg reached the pinnacle of his career in 1625 when he was made Governor of Inner Austria. From this point on, he ruled "in the name of the Emperor" in the Inner Austrian Patrimonial Lands (Styria, Carinthia and Carniola) with absolute power in political, legal and military matters. He was the only governor to have ever been awarded and to have executed such a position. This office also prompted him to commission the conversion of the medieval family castle on the western edge of Graz into a new and glorious residence, Schloss Eggenberg (Graz), to appropriately represent his new status, but he died of severe gout in October 1634 before the palace was completed. Alongside his four daughters, Prince Hans Ulrich also produced a male heir to the Eggenberg dynasty, Johann Anton. As an imperial minister he had skilfully succeeded in guiding his master to the throne despite facing numerous dangers and constant upheavals during these times of great change. He slowly and consistently worked on his ideas of "empire", which he saw as a strengthened central Imperial power, at the expense of the feudal interests of the old noble families and the desire for autonomy of the princes of the realm. This way he became one of the major architects of the absolutist Habsburg state, which was to dominate and shape the century to come. In Austria, Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg has left a historical legacy behind. His masterpiece, Schloss Eggenberg (Graz), was the main motive of one of the most famous silver collectors coins: the 10 euro Eggenberg Palace coin minted in September 10 2002.
