Prince Albert of Saxony, Duke of Saxony, Margrave of Meissen (Albert Joseph Maria Franz-Xaver; 30 November 1934 – 6 October 2012)〔(Royale Trauer um Albert Prinz von SachsenEnkel des letzten Sachsen-Königs gestorben )〕 was the disputed head of the Royal House of Saxony and a German historian. The fourth child and youngest son of Friedrich Christian, Margrave of Meissen and his wife Princess Elisabeth Helene of Thurn and Taxis, he was the younger brother of Maria Emanuel, Margrave of Meissen, who was his predecessor as head of the Royal House of Saxony. == Life == Albert received his secondary education at the Federal Gymnasium in Bregenz, Austria. He passed his matura in 1954. His parents and their children then moved to Munich, with support from his mother's relatives from the Thurn und Taxis dynasty. In Munich, Albert studied at the Ludwig Maximilian University. He initially studied macroeconomics, and later switched to history and ethnography. On 13 February 1961, he received his PhD for a thesis on his great-great-grandfather, King John of Saxony, and his reform of Saxon commercial law.〔German Wikipedia, viewed on 18 August 2012〕 On 30 January 1960 the ドイツ語:''Studiengruppe für Sächsische Geschichte und Kultur e.V.'' ("Study group for Saxon history and culture") was founded by Albert together with his parents, his elder brother Maria Emanuel, some other Saxon nobles, the Chapter of the Military Order of St. Henry, the chapter of the association of people from Dresden, and the association of ''Heimatvertriebene'' in the history department of the University of Munich. This study group became one of the largest historical societies in West Germany. After completing his studies, Albert worked as a historian and referent. He studied the history of the Duchy of Saxony and the Kingdom of Saxony, in particular the relationship of Saxony to Bavaria.〔 At times, he was vice president of the ドイツ語:''Bund der Mitteldeutschen'' ("Association of Central Germans"). In 1972, he joined the ドイツ語:''Mitteldeutschen Kulturrat e.V.'' ("Central German Culture Council"), where he represented the interests of the Free State of Saxony.〔 In the summer of 1982, he was allowed to visit Saxony for the first time since his youth. He visited again in 1983 and 1985. He was then not allowed to enter the German Democratic Republic again, for unknown reasons, until 1989/1990. On 22 January 1990, he participated in a Monday demonstration in Dresden and was unexpectedly asked to address the crowd. He told his audience about their task to rebuild Saxony and ended with the words "Long live Saxony, Germany, Europe and the western-Christian culture."〔 In the subsequent elections for the Saxon parliament, he ran as a DSU candidate; he was not elected, nor did the newly elected government of Saxony employ him as an advisor. After the German reunification, he has tried to reclaim some of his family's former possessions.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albert, Margrave of Meissen (1934–2012)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
