Karl Georg Huyn

Karl Georg Otto Maria Graf von Huyn (18 November 1857 – 21 February 1938) was an Austro-Hungarian colonel general and the last military governor of Galicia during World War I.

Huyn was promoted to captain in 1887, serving briefly in Przemyśl as part of the Second Army Corps from Vienna.

After his marriage to Maria Ignatia Countess Lutzow on 16 March 1892, Huyn was a Major for a military attaché appointed in Bucharest.

He was promoted to general of the cavalry shortly before the outbreak of World War I and Huyn was given command of the newly formed XVII Corps that formed part of the 4th Army under General Moritz von Auffenberg.

After several unsuccessful operations in the Komarów area, Karl Georg Huyn was relieved of his command at the instigation of Auffenberg and was ordered off to Vienna.
