Happy Birthday to Princess zu Oettingen-Oettingen und Oettingen-Wallerstein, who turns 80 today! The Princess of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg married to the Prince zu Oettingen-Oettingen und Oettingen-Wallerstein has often worn the magnificent Köchert Oettingen-Wallerstein Tiara!
A magnificent Diamond Tiara with dense diamond scrolls and loops, the exact origin of this Tiara is not known but we can now reveal that the Tiara was created by the famed House of Köchert, likely around the same time as Archduchess Marie Valerie’s Köchert Diamond Tiara created in 1890. It has been quite pleasure to research with Köchert Archivist, Beatrice Austerlitz.
In the 1950s, the Oettingen-Wallerstein Tiara was worn by the then Princess zu Oettingen-Oettingen und Oettingen-Wallerstein for a Ball at Schloss Donaueschingen.
Princess Alexandra zu Sayn Wittgenstein Sayn wore the Oettingen-Wallerstein Tiara when she married Hereditary Prince Carl Eugen zu Oettingen-Wallerstein in 1994.
A few years later, Princess Lioba wore the Oettingen-Wallerstein Tiara for the Wedding of Princess Alexandra of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Count Jefferson von Pfeil und Klein-Ellguth at Gråsten Palace.
In 2004, the Oettingen-Wallerstein Tiara was worn by Princess Lioba for the Wedding Ball of Duchess Elisabeth in Bavaria and Daniel Terberger at Schloss Nymphenburg.
More recently, Princess Lioba wore the Oettingen-Wallerstein Tiara for the Wedding Gala of Princess Sophie zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg and Count Constantin Fugger von Babenhausen at Schloss Wertheim in Kreuzwertheim in 2017, and it is likely that the Tiara was worn for the Wedding Ball of Prince Philipp of Oettingen-Wallerstein and Countess Marie-Thérèse von Waldburg zu Zeil und Trauchberg a few weeks ago, so there is no doubt we will see it worn agains soon!
