Prince Johannes Heinrich of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Johannes Heinrich Friedrich Werner Konrad Rainer Maria; Slovak: Ján Henrich, Hungarian: János Henrik; 28 March 1931, in Innsbruck – 14 April 2010, in Innsbruck)[1] was a prince of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-Koháry and the last holder of Csábrág and Szitnya, both in modern-day Slovakia, lost to the communist regime of Czechoslovakia. He was the only son of Prince Rainer of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha by his first wife, Johanna Károlyi de Károly-Patty.[1]

Life

In Munich on 24 October 1957, Johannes Heinrich married, firstly, Baroness Gabrielle of Fürstenberg. They had one daughter:

  1. Princess Felicitas Franziska Johanna Maria Gabriela Elisabeth Pauline Helene Stephanie Leopoldine Alexandra Sophie Mathilde Josepha Anna Karoline Immaculata Emanuela (b. Sorengo, 6 April 1958), married on 15 November 1987 to Serge von Trotzky, from ancient Russian nobility[citation needed], and has issue.[1][2][3]

Johannes Heinrich and Gabrielle were divorced on 4 July 1968.[4] Four months later, in Munich on 12 November 1968, Johannes Heinrich married, secondly, Princess Mathilde of Saxony, a medical doctor and granddaughter of King Frederick Augustus III of Saxony. They had one son:

  1. Johannes Albert Leopold Frederick Christian (b. Innsbruck, 17 November 1969 – killed in climbing accident, Ortler, 21 August 1987).

Johannes Heinrich and Mathilde divorced on 27 August 1993.[4] Johannes Heinrich also had an illegitimate daughter named Christine Johanna Wieser (b. 29 March 1968 in Innsbruck) with Dr. Med. Edda Wieser (6. November 1940 - 16. December 1996).[citation needed]

After the death of Johannes Heinrich, the heir to the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-Koháry is the former King Simeon II of Bulgaria, due to the exclusion of Johannes Heinrich's uncle Philipp Josias Maria Joseph Ignatius Michael Gabriel Raphael Gonzaga (Walterskirchen, 18 August 1901 – Vienna 31 Dec 1994), married morganatically on 23 April 1944 to Sarah Aurelia Halasz, and his descendants (their only son and four grandchildren were barred from the succession).
