Biography

Serving as an officer in the imperial army, Johann Kollowrat navigated the upheavals of late eighteenth-century Europe with a careful regard for discipline and for the welfare of the troops under his command.

When peace returned, he remained a trusted adviser for veteran families in Bohemia, promoting fair treatment and ensuring that soldiers who returned home found support and patience in local garrisons such as Blovice.
