!!!Henckel von Donnersmarck, Adelsfamilie

Henckel von Donnersmarck, noble family originally from Spis, Slovakia 
(then Zips); were made barons in 1636, counts in 1651/61; enfeoffed 
with Beuthen and Oderberg by Emperor Ferdinand II in 1623. 
Members of the family who were important in the context of Austrian 
history include Lazarus  Henckel, who in 1607 was given the title 
Henckel von Donnersmarck and Count Hugo  Henckel von Donnersmarck, who 
made significant contribution to industry and agriculture and forestry 
in the 19th century. The Vienna palace (Weihburggasse/Parkring, now a 
hotel) was built in 1871/72; the family has owned Wolfsberg castle 
(Carinthia) since 1846; it was renovated in romantic style in 1850 and 
restored in the 20th century.
