Kapuzinergruft is the place of the history of one of the most powerful European empires.This tiny church at the back of the Staatsoper is the greatest memento of the most powerful family of Europe - the Habsburgs. The resting place of the most powerful people in Europe. Undoubtedly the most important dynasty of Europe, giving away cards for centuries. Everyone is here. And their traditional ceremony of coming to the crypt, reminds everyone that in the face of death we are the same.
One of the court's representatives knocks three times at the the door of the church.Inside is the monk , his voice answers:
-Who knocks at the door?
-Your emperor, Prince of Austria , Prince of Hungary, Bohemia , Lombardia ,Venecia , Dalmacia y Croatia, Slovenia, Galicia, Lodomeria, Liria .Knight of Order of the Golden Fleece. General inspector of infantry archduke Rudolf Habsburg.
-Who knocks at the door?
-Archduke Rudolf Habsburg.
- We dont know him.
The court representative knocks again, three times at the door.
-Who knocks at the door?
-Rudolf, poor mortal sinner.
-He can come.
This is most famous example of funeral ceremony of man who probably if
probably if he survived, he would have saved the empire. This is how the family funeral ceremony looks like today.
Both unhappy couple of the end of the history of the most powerful family in Europe were beatified.Until the end of her days Zyta claimed that it was the Emperor Francis Joseph himself who ordered to murder his son, for too liberal views. Many tried to make a crazy woman out of her, but it could be a grain of truth. Maybe not necessarily the emperor himself, but someone from the court.
By the end, like the famous wife of Francis Joseph-Sissi, she thought that if Austria had other emperor not Franz Joseph who did not want any reforms, the empire would survive. We can not say today whether anyone really helped in the death of Archduke Rudolf and his mistress Maria Vetsera in Mayerling, but it is true that if any of these fossilized people would carry out reforms and would not live in the myth of the power of absolute power, which would go into oblivion, there was a good chance of surviving the Austro-Hungarian Empire.Unfortunately this man, he did not want to reform anything. He believed in the myth all the time, and protests began to appear. He believed that the word ''Habsburg'' makes the existence of the state immortal, and Francis Joseph would express any desire to reform.Unfortunately, this famous emperor had his evil side of an exceptionally stubborn man who was afraid of all news, as he called it '' devilish inventions ''. It was thanks to his decisions that in Arsenal, which was the seat of the army, were built any toilets , because he said that it wasn't needed. It was aded after many years , when at last he changed his mind. As the only one, he forbade the construction of the toilet in his apartments in Hofburg. It shows what kind of man he was.Kapuzinergruft.Since the Habsburg dynasty became the masters of Europe (medieval dynasty rulers are in the cathedral of St. Stephansdom ,but they were only the masters of Austria).Everyone rest in peace here.Maria Teresa, her huge sarcophagus of silver and gold takes up a room of 25 m.It's a masterpiece of art (silver and golden statues on the coffin in delicate move of baroque art), moreover, like many others. Maria Teresa- mother of Joseph II and the last queen of France. Joseph II: modernizer,one of 1st absolute ruler, reformer,also was her son. The first woman who ruled a powerful country and not afraid of the very opposite men.Only Franz Ferdynand is missing, here again the true figure of Franz Joseph appears, the emperor forbade the burial, the heir to the throne for a wedding with the countess of a lower order.The man whose murder led to the I World War rests in the Czech Republic in the Konopiste castle. In Austria, we can see the legendary car in which the family rode during the shootings.According to legend: cursed. Indeed every owner of it, in the best case, perished in the tree, and there were many willing to possess it, all had bad end, so car at last ended in museum. Car is in Arsenal - War Museum on the opposite site of Belvedere. In the last room, the most famous family members rests; Empress Sissi, Franz Joseph and their son Rudolf, there are always flowers and the flag of Austria. Everyone rests here, they were all introduced here as mortal sinners. That's how the ceremony broke, otherwise they could not cross the gate to the family Crypt in the Capuchins church which is part of their monastery. A place rarely visited, by tourism from other countries, it is the most important monument of Austrian history,one of most important monument in our history, a monument of people who created our world by ages. Inside the crypt you can not photograph. Austria may be a republic, but Austrians know thanks who they existed and was most important country of the worls by ages .There are ordinary mortal sinners , so extraordinary.

This is how the funeral of a member of the Habsburg family always looked like, it still looks like this (of course, depending on the rank, other titles appear). This scene was probably best presented by the Austrian film with the well-known actors Klaus Maria Brandauer and Max von Thun (the count closely associated with the family von Habsburg).
The last time Kapuzinerguft was used for the funeral was in 2011 for Otto von Habsburg, one of the founders of the European Union. Last empress , the wife of last emperor Charles I, Zyta Burdo di Parma was buried here in 1989.Zyta returned to Austria after her death, because she did not agree to resign from empress title.
