Memorial Page for Otto von Habsburg (née Franz Joseph Otto Robert Maria Anton Karl Max Heinrich Sixtus Xaver Felix Renatus Ludwig Gaetan Pius Ignatius Habsburg)

Did you know? The last crown prince of Austria-Hungary helped open the Iron Curtain: Otto von Habsburg was patron of the "Pan-European Picnic" on 19 August 1989 at the Hungarian-Austrian border. When the gate was opened for one symbolic hour, around 660 East Germans fled to the West – one of the first cracks in the Wall, months before it fell.
