† 10.01.2023

Excerpt from the Chancellor´s letter on the passing away:

It is my sad duty to inform you of the passing away of our Honorary Knight Univ.Prof. Dr. András Gerö, PhD who sadly passed away at the age of 70 after a serious illness.

Univ.Prof. Dr. András Gerö was – after previously holding guest professorships at universities in Hungary, the Netherlands and the United States for many years – founder and director of the Institute of Habsburg History in Budapest. As an author, he published over 70 volumes in various languages and was honoured with several prestigious prizes and awards.

Brother of Order András was admitted to our Order as an Honorary Knight in Vienna in 2017. He belonged to the commandery Ungarn and repeatedly contributed his profound knowledge of the history of the Habsburgs to the Order within the limits of his time and contributed to a better understanding of Austro-Hungarian history, especially in Hungary.

My and our sincere condolences go to his family members and all his relatives.
