She was especially well-known during her time in Paris where she was a leader of style, and influenced a whole generation of salonières. In 1871 the couple returned to Vienna. From then on she devoted herself entirely to cultural and society activities, from the promotion of Richard Wagner in Paris, through the organisation of the spring festival in the Prater, the flower carnival, promotion of the Vienna Voluntary Rescue Team to all sorts of events in concert halls and theatres. Such was her commitment to the most varied levels of society in the Vienna of Franz Josef. Her rivalry with Empress Elisabeth was almost legendary. 19th century.
