Kaiserin Elisabeth

Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie had an exciting life. As a Bavarian country girl, she married Emperor Franz Joseph at the very young age of 16 and moved to the Viennese court. At 21, she was already the mother of 3 children, with a fourth following 10 years later. As a balance to the rather conservative Viennese court ceremonial, Sisi traveled a lot and found strength in sport and literature. The joie de vivre of the Hungarians inspired her and so she also spent a lot of time there and was very committed to the unification of Austria-Hungary. Sisi’s cult of the body was legendary and a great role model for many. Her end was tragic, she was murdered by an anarchist in Geneva, she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sisi’s life was filmed many times, the trilogy with Romy Schneider and Karl Heinz Böhm was a worldwide success.
