Heinrich Elbogen (18 June 1872 – 8 December 1927) was an Austrian sport shooter who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics.
[1][2] He was born on 18 June 1872 to a Jewish family in Paris, France, the second child and the only son of banker Guido Elbogen (1845–1918) and his wife Rosalie (Alie) (née Schwabacher; 1850–1940).
When his father became President of the Anglo-Austrian Bank in Vienna,[3][4] the family moved to Vienna; his father also bought a country estate, Schloss Thalheim, in Lower Austria,[note 1][5] and the family spent their summers there.
[6] In 1916, while serving with the Austro-Hungarian Army during the First World War, Elbogen was taken prisoner by the Russians and kept in captivity in Siberia.
He returned to Thalheim four years later, exhausted from having made a very long journey home, much of it on foot.
