General Josef Baron von Kronenberg

Josef Kronenberg moved to Kunín from Hungary together with his doctor father. After the sudden death of his wife, Josef was taken in by Countess Walburga and entrusted to the care of her teacher and later guardian Anton Schneider. At fourteen, Josef let himself be recruited into the army, but against the wishes of Countess Walburga. He therefore preferred to return to Kunín as a lieutenant of the hunting battalion, and since then his career has risen steeply. He eventually became a general of the gendarmerie and a holder of the baronial title.
