Neprava Valvasorjeva hiša v Krškem sredi 19. stoletja v rokah njegovega daljnega sorodnika in neposrednih potomcev – vzrok za »usodno« pomoto?

Pozabljeni ljubiteljski muzealec Anton pl. Hohenwart (1768–1846)

Abstract

New discoveries have confirmed the author’s assumption that the old town house in Krško, which for a century and a half was believed to have been the last home of the Carniolan polymath Janez Vajkart Valvasor (1641–1693), was owned by his successors, the Dienersperg Barons. This fact nearly led to the mistaken belief that the house belonged to Valvasor (1859). Besides this, the Dienerspergs inherited the house from Anton von Hohenwart (1768–1846), who owned it between 1826–1846 and who was a descendant of Valvasor’s half–brother Karl and who possibly also contributed to the belief that the house once belonged to the Carniolan polymath. Von Hohenwart, a history aficionado, left to the Carniolan Regional Museum in Ljubljana his relatively rich collection of old artifacts and documents. His house, which served as a kind of a private museum in the second quarter of the 19th century, a fact once completely forgotten, today accidentally happens to be part of the Krško City Museum.
