- Sisi led a really troubling life, with reoccurring tragedy, the biggest being the loss of her only son. But also her death was a big tragedy. Come and find out more about her life!
No other empress is as famous as Sisi. After marrying Emperor Franz Joseph, Sisi moved to the capital city of Vienna, the residence of the imperial family. Many places are living reminders of the tragic monarch.
Above all, of course, the two residences where visitors can walk so wonderfully in Sisi's footsteps: Schönbrunn Palace and the Imperial Palace. When the keen traveler Sisi was in Vienna, she lived here with her husband, the children and a giant royal household. Schönbrunn Palace Park is also home to the Imperial Coach Collection; an area of the exhibition is dedicated specially to the Austrian empress.

For the first 15 years of her life, my grandmother was a subject of Austria-Hungary (both of my parents are Austro-Hungarian) and I remember my grandmother telling me how beautiful Sisi was, and how she was loved. Even though my grandmother immigrated to the USA at age 16, to her dying day, she remained a royalist.
No problem. Be proud of it.
Yes my family as well, before the commis divided that part of Europe. Actually, I'm from Transilvania. I met someone like that in Hungary a few years back who left Hungary at age 17 and never really took to America and told us she wanted to re-establish back in her native Hungary. She seemed the unhappy where-ever u are type : ))
@Ber P. Unpopular in Austria maybe, but Hungarians loved her as she loved the country (even if, according to some sources, it was only out of an act of rebellion against her aunt) and did much for it by influencing her husband, leading to the Austro-Hungarian Compromise.
@AB. B. How could you say that? Were you there? Maybe that part of her country they loved her and your part were jealous of her?
As she should, Habsburg forever 💛🖤
I feel for Sisi. She had a hard life, on the outside was beautiful and literally dripping with diamonds at times. But so broken on the inside. All royals had to give up so much and could never appear weak or human like must of been so hard. I can relate on the loss of a child. Even with other children a mother is always heartbroken. I feel a strong connection to her. May god rest her beautiful soul.
Maybe Sisi's inner lack of peace had it roots from Bavarian royal family's (Wittelsbach) madness? Who knows. It was really pity! And still, Austrian and Hungarian people really loved Sisi. Eljen, Erszebet! Sisi made short career in politics too, supporting her husband. She even learned Hungarian language, to keep a speech in Budapest Parliament. Count Andrassy was her friend in higher level there.
And one thing too, it is really hard to any mother to lose her own child by suicide, as Sisi lost her son in Mayerling tragedy.
And finally, when Emperor Franz Joseph heard that her wife was stabbed to death, he mourned: - Fate didn't save me from this too...
Elizabeth I, Queen of Victoria, Princess Diana and Elisabeth "Sisi" prove that being a princess or a queen isn't all that glamorous and fairy tale-like.
Ira Williams don’t forget Marie Queen of Scots, hard life too
@@alezacil845 she had much easier compared to Elizabeth I but she caused her own downfall for getting involved with men like Darnley and Bothwell
@@irawilliams343 she also went through a great deal of pain and loss. She was raped and kidnapped by Bothwell and had a miscarriage. She may not of had it as hard but she still was a queen in a time of men. As a Scot she is someone I admire for overcoming the difficulties she faced in her life.
@@elizabethmunro5753 we don’t know that for sure.
Check out Charlotte of Belgium. She was Sisi sister in law. Married to Franz-Joseph brother, Ferdinand Maximilian. Now SHE had it TRAGIC.
Its awful how queens had to deliver their babies with an audience. It causes unnecessary anxiety and distraction to the woman who is already stressed, and therefore makes the birthing process more difficult.
It was imperative to see the heirs actually being born coz there were rumours and maybe instances when baby swatching was considered for many reasons.
@@ChiniWanders Seems extreme to have so many witnesses, mostly men, present. I heard it was a status "honor" thing to be present during a royal birth.
@@Glorfinniel well in France it was in others it was to make sure the baby was legitimate
they didn't say that
@@biancahotca3244 no but it’s a well known historical fact. It was very important that zero baby swapping went on.
The waxwork they have of her at Madame Tussaud‘s is absolutely uncanny. Looks like a real person.
But this wax figure doesn't even look like Her Majesty Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie from Austria Empress of Austria Queen of Hungary! It resembles one of the many actresses who had played her roles in these movies which were made in the past! 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I agree that Sisi loved her husband. She used to write him long affectionate letters even after 40 years of a troubled marriage. Only she didn't share his physical passion. Perhaps Sisi was asexual or perhaps she was deeply hurt that she was so cared for only because of her good looks. It seems that Franz Joseph never tried to understand her... But still, he also cared for her and loved her in his naive way. No need to judge them, no one is perfect.
@Lisa Mathis Introverts fall in love as well as extroverts.But she never had any liaison, all her good looks and low morals among royals given. Looks like she wasn't even in love with anyone after her failed teenage love with Franz Joseph. We will never know whether she was really asexual, or she was just too depressed and unlucky.
I’m an introvert and I relate to her because of it and in the last relationship I was in…it was something like this…he was an extrovert…we had a few things in common therefore, didn’t spend that much time together. We only had like 3 or 4 hobbies in common, didn’t share the same type of friends either…I don’t think she loved him though. I did love my ex…despite the differences and yes he asked me out first, as shy as I am I would’ve never and have never asked someone out.
Maybe she didn't like man. She was 16 when she got married. Maybe it was not what she expected.?
Perhaps she didn't want to deal with getting pregnant every year.
@@mgpm17 Spot on, I believe.
She's really beautiful and stunning😘😍
I've been in there! It's amazing, I love that country so much💙
I've been to Vienna many times and I regret not seeing these historic places for myself. Wonderful city with an interesting history.
Also visit the Belvedere Palace., Gustav Klimt paintings are there.
Thank you for the great tour. 🙏🏻
Vienna is on my bucket list!
Good shopping.
When I was a child I had visions of a palace with garden.
Ballroom and statues and expensive perfume bottles and also a lady..when I grew and researched I found sissi and palace of Vienna were similar to the visions iv had years back..
Can I take a minute to give props to Adia Trischler's presentation... and I want her sweater.
This castle is stunning 👩🏻🦳
Thank you for documentary!
Sisi of Austria was a really remarkable woman, you get a feeling that her beauty shone from the inside out, and that's, in my opinion, why she holds such a grip on the imagination.
I would recommend watching a 2009 movie in two parts called Sisi, starring Cristiana Capotondi in the lead role, for a nice dramatisation of the empress's life in the Habsburg court.
If I remember correctly though is that during the audio tour they said that because people found her so beautiful, she was so focused on her health. And she barely ate. I think she was anorexic. That for me made it all extremely sad, her beauty. That she felt like she had to live up to what everyone thought of her. And thank you for that movie suggestion, never heard of it! I do still love the old trilogy.
@@larissaswinkels3661 At 173 cm tall she only weight 50 kg and she often used gymnasium.
She ate very little and went on"hunger cure" or" fasting cure" when was bit over 50 kg.
@@melianna999 Yeah… nog such a lovely story, she suffered a lot. It’s still very interesting, but I do feel bad for her!
@@larissaswinkels3661 She had interesting, lovely life. Nothing to feel bad for her.
Ok. her death was terrible and sudden
but she was 61. In that time woman was considered "very old".
@@melianna999 She was anorexic… aside from that she was also sick (that’s why she went to Corfu)… her daughter died at a young age…, which she was blamed for, her son (the crown prince) committed suicide… Her sister died…But yes back at home with her parents she had a good life (before)… I feel like at court not so much, at least that’s how it was portrayed to me… But I agree that her life was interesting, but I still feel like she suffered quite a bit (but that’s my opinion).
Very well done! Very nice presentation.
'Mayerling' is a beautiful, sad movie....
I love Austria 😍
Prima!! Mach weiter!
she was beautiful . Didn't look snobby like some royalty
Yes she seemed down to earth, and caring of others. She was most certainly a beautiful woman. Her hair was extraordinary.
@@tamaraprentice9280and wasn’t as carrying as you say she is she would bully people she felt was too”fat” or ugly 💀 especially her daughter higisela who was actually much nicer than Elisabeth herself
What an amazing life...Bitter-sweet...
The Empress Netflix brought me here… now I want to visit and see this in person 😮
Adoro Viena!!
I do wonder why her "stunning figure" keeps getting praised when she clearly had a severe eating disorder, fasting, starving herself, over-exercising, then binging. She was anemic at some point because she ate too little. like... she was anorexic and it gets glorified everywhere.
Photoshoplilli because the victorians loved so much people with pale skin, they were obsessed about tuberculosis patients. So sissi was the perfect model symbolizing that obsession.
Applying 20th-21st century standards of morality, physical and mental health, fitness, diet, nutrition, exercise, etc. on 19th century people is the road to anachronistic nowhere. Not to mention standards of physical beauty, especially for women. She lived a much better life on the whole than 99.99% of all the other humans on earth at that time, male or female. She died a tragic and senseless death. Give the woman a break. RIP.
@@GFSLombardo I'm applying 21st century standards to 21st century reporting. Anorexia is a terrible mental disorder and the way she is described today is sickening. I'm also not shaming her--I myself have suffered from anorexia and I know it is an illness, not a choice.
Photoshoplilli , perhaps, it was the vogue of her time and never realized it was anorexia. The social pressure placed on her must have made it necessary that she has to maintain that kind of looks because she knows it is part and parcel of being a public figure. Having been taught the rigors of being an empress, she might have realized the advantage of "catching the attention" for political advantage which unfortunately includes her physical appearance as a woman....
Because there are those who believe that you can never be too rich or too thin.
I love Elisabeth. My middle name is Elisabeth. I got the name from St Elisabeth of Hungary or Thuringia.
She is wonderful.
Who would do that to Sisi 😭😭 why kill her when she was of such great health and beauty!! 😭
I love Austria!
Love this ,
Elisabeth was assassinated on the 10th of September 1898. She was 60 years old, not 61 years. I think Elisabeth was in love with Frans Josef in the first years of her marriage. But because of her mother in law Sophie (she was called the true empress because of the influence she had on her son Frans Josef) and because of the affairs he had she wasn't in love with him anymore. She traveled a lot and was sometimes away for a few years. At later age she arranged a mistress for him Katharina Schratt. Katharina Schratt was called 'the uncrowned empress of Austria'.
Elisabeth could now travel arround without feeling of guilt.
Robert Vasterink it’s so sick that she had to arrange a mistress.. in order for him to stay happy so sad..
he only had one known affair tho. plus franz was very in love with her but she didnt. it was more of a crush for her than actual love. she would stay away from him for a long time.
So tragic i can't imagine
ive been to both Hofburg and Schonbrun. very impressive. I was mesmerized by Sisi and wanted to take many photos. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing that were not allowed to take pictures or videos.
you are lucky though
D DIESEL Can’t take pictures of Neuschwanstein.
Have to visit both someday!! You're so lucky!!
I was taking pictures without any remark from the staff there. It was only asked not to use the flashlight.
Simplemente fascinante !!! Soy fans número 1 de Sissi , saludos desde PERU !?
Beautiful country and I enjoyed my visit and seeing both palaces up close and in person
There is a false statement in this video about Sissi's teeth. The docent in the video says she had good teeth. Not true. In fact her autobiography states that her teeth were very bad and were painful to her. This is why she was never photographed or painted showing her teeth. I don't believe the woman who claimed to be an expert on her was one at all because she would have known this.
Cool
Interesting information.
Half of it is false
We love you Queen Sissi from Nile& beyond, our true Elizabeth.
Ej i meni se sviđa ispred dvorca . 👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤❤👑👑
She was so beautiful 🤩 ❤❤❤❤❤
Sisi disliked palace Schönbrunn and called it "Kerkerburg", lose translated it means "Dungeon Castle"
Its funny how they did not mention they were closely related but they fell in love at first sight... Lol
It is sad lots of royal were inbred. Causing so many heath issues, including mental.
I have an Empress Sisi Barbie. She's beautiful.
@AB. B. That is if she had one in the first place, a question I ask myself sometimes.
???
Empress Elisabeth had great taste in decorating......
❤❤
Nagyon tetszet a Sissi csodàs film volt vagy nègyszer làtam Èva

This is the woman they made a cartoon about on jetix ?
yes :D
Her nickname was pronounced "SEE SEE" not "SIS-E"...like how she said at 2:16
❤️
They didn't have a good marriage Sisi never loved her husband she hated her new life but she made the best of it & became beloved by the people of Austria.

She was terrible to the Austrians… and was only kind to the Hungarians and no other parts of her new country…

How tall is sisi?
Ich war letzte Monat im Schloss Schönbrunn ❤❤❤❤
I love Austria and all Catholic Countries!!!.

The 2022 Netflix film about Siri is out now.
Love you
I would have liked If I was named after Sisi since I am like Sisi . I had long hair like her.
The Dutch loved Sisi and many films were made of her starring Audrey Hepburn!
Would you tell me about it, I cannot understand about this she's alive now or she's alived in the pass along time ago, thanks you❤🎉
i think the slaves/workers that were in the palace or those that live outside were the ones that have a somewhat tragic life. she was rich from her crib and was pampered.
so much beauty + chance tat brought the good life .... + love...wealth and internal glamour .,, yet a ruin internally ... wat wld modern psychologists hv to say ?
Play 6:13
Wasn't there a cartoon about her called Princess Sissi? :)🤔🤔🤔
Sisi: anorexic, cocaine user, buries her depression into exercising extensively
Reporter: she always took great care of her health
👍
At that time they believed that coocaine was good for their health and would even be recommended by doctors due that time… and also she would tell her family members to eat healthy foods and not thinks that had too much sugar in them
Hmm......i watched the movie and the things these guide is explaining is totally different...in the movie ,she wanted to be out when she was pregnant but anyways...
At 5:20 are these for Empress Sissi's teeth cares?
If I remember properly Sisi never smiled with open mouth, her teeth was in poor condition.
I bet Sisi loved her son very much
it must be weird someone else claimed to be husband before him....
Wouldn’t the speaker mean Sissi led a “troubled” life ? She kept saying “troubling”, didn’t sound right.
ich gehör nur mir.
Now why would Hollywood movies depict her having Blue/Green eyes when she clearly had Brown Eyes??
Signed mum
Look it up, Sisi's great nephew Karl: : “Dallas Texas Blessed Emperor Karl Symposium”: This is the centennial of Blessed Karl’s death 2022. THERE IS A BIG CONFERENCE IN DALLAS, 15 OCT 2022 ON BLESSED KARL & ZITA. With Bishop Athanasius Schneider, ambassador Eduard von Habsburg; BL.Karl’s granddaughter, author Mr. Charles Coulombe etc.

Anyone looking for her portraits painted

didn- T
know ThaT
Why did he stab her???
He was poor man, full of rage for the upper nobility.It was Luigi Lucheni.He didn't know who she was.
This 'documentation' is full of mistakes: In the first years of her marriage to Franz Joseph, yes, she loved him. But if she became a real woman (not this naiv little child) she don't love him! She had no happy marriage with him! And...she was murdered at the age of 60!!! She was a hypochondriac. Sisi was very intelligent. And...she had no good no beautiful teeth like so much members of the 'Wittelsbach' family! She was born on 24th December 1837 and died on 10th September 1898. If you wanna do a documentation...please not with so much mistakes.
Hier werden Märchen erzählt,da können Fakten nur stören !
"Very tall"??? she was just 1,72 meters. Maybe tall for the standards back then but not "very tall".
I thought it was fairytale since their was a cartoon princess sisi
😃 👸
Fairies don't exist, Prince Charming is not a prince and is rarely charming, witches aren't necessarily evil and is not desirable to be a princess.
Knights in shining armor don't exist, and if you meet one, be weary because he probably spends too much time polishing said armor to care about anything else, sadly.
Je ne vois vraiment pas, en quoi l'impératrice Elisabeth ait été si admirable. Elle se fichait royalement de son peuple, laissait le pauvre empereur François Joseph constamment seul en se promenant dans le monde entier. Elle n'a rien d'admirable, en ce qui me concerne. Elle aurait dû s'occuper de son peuple ou alors ne pas épouser un empereur. C'etait une neurastenique tout court.
Désolée, je n'ai pas d'admiration pour ce genre de personnes riches et gâtées.

The only sensible reply on this page. Spoiled, privileged, people who cared about nobody only themselves, and sadly they are no different today.
@elizabethtobin6894
You are unfortunately very right, and that is so sad. Have a lovely week-end and take care of yourself!
La video va trop vite ona pas le temps de lire et doucement
They may have been really in love but just not compatible...

American Coconut makes lots of Query.
Sisi's troubles began the day she was married and placed under the thumb of her new mother-in-law, while her new momma's-boy husband did nothing to protect Sisi.
He had no other choice he believed his mother was doing good and he didn’t realize until he was too late, he wasn’t with his mother or Sisi 24/7, and he obviously knew is mother more he didn’t know Sisi as much so of course he would trust his mother more than her.

When Sissi was stabbed her body died of course but her spirit travelled into another body, my body to be exact! I am still a free spirit, love my long hair although not as long as it was then! I have a book about that life of mine written by author, Joan Haslip. I know what I am saying sounds crazy, but when I was doubting this truth, I was visited by an Angel in my dream who said "You are Empress Elizabeth "! I was afraid to doubt it after this experience. Having read the book, I can relate to a lot of what was written as I have had the same life tests in this life! 😁
Me too I have my hair in her hairstyle
Her soul went accordingly where God sent it. For sure not to another human. We live only once. D Lewis
