Biography
Early life
Assen Hartenau was born in Graz[1] on 16 January 1890,[2][3] the son and eldest child of Alexander of Battenberg, deposed Prince of Bulgaria (Шаблон:Reign), and his wife Johanna Loisinger, an actress and singer.[3] He was named after the medieval Bulgarian ruler Ivan Asen I (Шаблон:Reign),[3][4] co-founder of the Second Bulgarian Empire (1185–1422).[4] The name thus served to underline the claims of Alexander and his family to the Bulgarian throne.[4]
Hartenau had a younger sister, Svetana (1893–1935).[5][3] After Alexander's early death in 1893,[3] Johanna and the children moved to Vienna. The family was in exile provided with a yearly pension of 50,000 leva by the Bulgarian government.[5][6] Following Alexander's deposition and marriage to Johanna, he had styled himself as the Count of Hartenau,[7] a title inherited by Assen.[3]
Career
Hartenau studied law at the University of Graz[8] and eventually became a Doctor of Law.[5] He eventually dropped the title of count and became an Austrian civil servant.[3] Through his life he held various important financial and political positions in Austria.[5][8] He was employed in the Ministry of Finance from 1919 to 1922 and served as a diplomat in Paris from 1922 to 1928, mainly overseeing payment of war reparations.[5] In 1938, Hartenau was made the State Commissioner of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank.[9] He played an important role in settling the Austrian national debt in the 1940s.[10]
After World War II (1939–1945), Hartenau was deemed to have been "politically indifferent" during the war.[10] From 1951 to 1953, he served as the financial director of Zellwolle Lenzing AG.[5] Hartenau died in Vienna[11] on 15 March 1965.[5][11]
Personal life
Hartenau married Bertha Hussa-Lamos (1892–1971) on 7 May[5] 1934.[3] The couple did not have any children together,[5] though Hartenau adopted Hussa-Lamos's son Wilhelm (from a previous marriage), who thus became Wilhelm Hartenau (1915–1991).[5][3] Wilhelm was a physician in Vienna and had three children of his own; Alexander, Elizabeth and Francisca,[3] regarded as the heirs of Alexander of Battenberg.[5][12]Шаблон:Efn
During the reign of Alexander's successor in Bulgaria, Ferdinand I (Шаблон:Reign), the Bulgarian press sometimes highlighted Hartenau as a legitimate possible rival contender for the throne, styling him as "Prince" and as "His Highness".[13]
