Hedwig (left) and her sister Elisabeth (right), 1912
Her mother gave her the hunting lodge Kühtai in Austria, as a wedding gift in 1917, it having been acquired in 1893 by Emperor Franz Joseph and bequeathed to Marie Valerie.
Hedwig married on 24 April 1918 to Count Bernhard of Stolberg-Stolberg[citation needed] (1881–1952), a son of Count Leopold of Stolberg-Stolberg and of Scottish heiress Mary Eddington (daughter of Colonel Smollett Montgomerie Eddington, JP, DL, of Glencreggan House, Kintyre, Argyllshire).[1] They married at the castle of Wallsee, owned by the bridegroom's father. The couple had nine children:
Marie Elisabeth zu Stolberg-Stolberg (1919-2012)
Franz Josef zu Stolberg-Stolberg (1920-1986)
Friedrich Leopold zu Stolberg-Stolberg (1921-2007)
Bernhard Friedrich Hubertus zu Stolberg-Stolberg (1922-1958)
Therese Maria Valerie zu Stolberg-Stolberg (1923-1982)
Carl Franz zu Stolberg-Stolberg (1925-2003)
Ferdinand Maria Immaculata zu Stolberg-Stolberg (1926-1998)
Anna Regina Emanuela Maria zu Stolberg-Stolberg (1927-2002)
Magdalena Maria Mathilde zu Stolberg-Stolberg (1930-2024)
In 1949 Hedwig began to transform the castle into a ski lodge, subsequently opened to the public as Kühtai ski resort.
Hedwig died in 1970 aged 74 in Hall in Tyrol. She is buried in the family vault in the cemetery Hall.
Generations are numbered by male-line descent from Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor. Later generations are included although Austrian titles of nobility were abolished and outlawed in 1919.
