Gertrud von Hohenberg
(1225 - 16 Feb 1281)
Gertrud was born in 1225, the eldest daughter of Burchard V, Graf von Hohenberg, and Mechtild von Tübingen. In 1245 she married Rudolf I von Habsburg, the future emperor-elect, son of Albrecht IV 'the Wise', Graf von Habsburg, Landgraf in Elzas, and Heilwig von Kyburg. They had ten children of whom two sons and five daughters would have progeny.
Her husband was elected King of Germany in Frankfurt on 1 October 1273, largely due to the efforts of her cousin Friedrich III, Burggraf von Nürnberg. Rudolf was crowned in Aachen on 24 October 1273, after which she styled herself Queen Anna. She served as his queen consort for the following eight years.
Gertrud died in Vienna on 16 February 1281. Her sarcophagus lies in the choir of the Basel Münster, together with that of her youngest son Karl who died as an infant. Her remains were moved in 1770 to the Benedictine Abbey of St. Bastein in the Black Forest. Today they lie in the Abbey of St. Paul in the Lavanttal in Carinthia.
Rudolf remained a widower for three years and then married Isabelle de Bourgogne, dame de Vieux-Château et d'Aigney-le-Duc, with whom he did not have progeny.
