Joseph Ettenreich
Joseph Ettenreich (1800 – 1875) was an Austrian butcher who lived in Vienna in the 19th century.
Biography
Not much is known about Ettenreich's past, except he worked in a butcher shop in Vienna, Austria by 1853. A regular of the tavern Nachzehrer Cellar in the city, he was a friend of the Hungarian tailor János Libényi. In the winter of 1853, once the former English soldier Simeon Price, who went by the identity of Jack Straw, entered into Nachzehrer Cellar, both Joseph and János talked about how Karl Mayr has been harassing János to Straw about moving the tailor shop. Luckily, both of them were told of Mayr's death at Straw's hand and this led to a celebration for everyone at the tavern.[1]
On the 18th February 1853, Joseph, alongside Maximilian Karl Lamoral O'Donnell and Jack Straw, thwarted an attempt by János to assassinate the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph.[2] Afterwards, he and Straw restrained János until soldiers attained the tailor. The emperor's attendant thanked both the butcher and Straw for their aid.[3]
Behind the scenes
Historically, after saving the emperor, Ettenreich was raised to be nobility as a reward.[4]
