Louise von Sturmfeder

Louise von Sturmfeder-Oppenweiler (full name: Maria Aloisia Sturmfeder of Oppenweiler, Erbsassin Lerch von und zu Dirmstein; 3 October 1789, Esslingen - 10 September 1866, Vienna) was a lady-in-waiting to the House of Habsburg.

Early life

Louise was born as daughter of Baron Carl Theodor Sturmfeder von Oppenweiler (1748-1799) and his wife, Maria Charlotte Eva von Greiffenclau-Vollraths, daughter of Adolph von Greiffenclau-Vollraths (* 1727 in Mainz; † 1763 in Mainz).

Court life

She was put in charge of the early upbringing of the royal infants, as aja (then rendered "nurse", now nanny - but see also ayah) to Franz Joseph I of Austria, his brother Maximilian I of Mexico and his other siblings. She distrusted doctors and prescribed fresh air for her charges. At first, she favoured the elder boy over the second, with unfortunate effects on the latter's character. Hyde, H. Montgomery (1946).
