Dietrichstein, noble family originally from Carinthia, with many 
different lines, became hereditary Cupbearers in Carinthia in 1506,

and went via Russia in 1917 to settle in France, where the line still 
exists. Prominent members of the family included: Count Adam  
Dietrichstein, Count Franz  Dietrichstein, Prince Karl Johann  
Dietrichstein, Prince Moritz Joseph Johann  Dietrichstein, Siegmund
