Karl Ludwig von Grünne

Count Karl Ludwig von Grünne-Pinchard (25 August 1808, Vienna - 15 June 1884, Baden bei Wien) was an Austro-Hungarian general.

The emperor wrote him a handwritten letter on 20 October 1859 dismissing him from his post as chief adjutant but making him a colonel and a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Stephen.

[citation needed] In 1865, Grünne was made a Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece and he also held the post of colonel-equerry until 3 November 1875, on which date he retired from it due to poor health.

In his later years, Grünne separated from his wife Caroline, Countess of Trauttmansdorff-Weinsberg (1808-1886), whom he had married in 1831, by private arrangement rather than by a legal decision.

Grünne's funeral was held in the Frauenkirche, Maria die Glorreiche in Baden bei Wien (then the court church) and his body was then buried in the family crypt at Dobersberg on 19 June 1884.
