‘With the people for the fatherland.’
Motto of Emperor Charles I, beatified on 3.10.2004
Together with his mausoleum, Emperor Franz Joseph commissioned the Crypt Chapel. Like the Franz Joseph Crypt, the memorial room was built in the Secessionist style.
It houses a memorial bust of the last Habsburg emperor, Charles I. (N°145), the coffin of his wife Empress Zita (N°146), who died in 1989, his son Carl Ludwig (N°148), his son Otto (N°150) and Otto's wife Regina of Saxe-Meiningen (N°151).
