Duke Maximilian, was a member of a junior branch of the House of Wittelsbach and a promoter of Bavarian folk-music. He is most famous today as the father of Empress Elisabeth of Austria and great-grandfather of King Leopold III of Belgium.
Childhood
Maximilian Joseph was born at Bamberg, the only son of Duke Pius August and his wife, Princess Amélie Louise. On 9 September 1828, Maximilian Joseph married Princess Ludovika of Bavaria, the sixth daughter of King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria, his father's cousin. They had ten children.
Life
In 1834 Maximilian Joseph purchased Possenhofen Castle on Lake Starnberg; this was his major residence for the rest of his life. In 1838 he acquired Unterwittelsbach Castle (today housing a "Sisi" museum) near the site of Burg Wittelsbach, the ancestral seat of the House of Wittelsbach.
In 1838 Maximilian Joseph travelled to Egypt and Palestine. He published an account of this trip. While climbing the Great Pyramid he arranged for his servants to yodel as if he were climbing in the Alps. He collected a number of antiquities which he brought back to Bavaria and displayed in his father's home. They can still be seen there today. Among the items is the mummy of a young woman, three mummies' heads, several animal mummies, shawabtis, and several stones from tombs or temples including one from the Temple of Dendur. He also bought some children in the Cairo slave market and later freed them. When Maximilian Joseph was in Jerusalem, he paid for the restoration of the Church of the Flagellation.
Maximilian Joseph died in Munich. He and his wife are buried in the family crypt in Tegernsee Abbey, a former monastery which Ludovika's father, King Maximilian, had acquired in 1817. At the same time of the secularisation, Duke Maximilian's grandfather Duke Wilhelm had also purchased a former monastery. Both properties are still today owned by Prince Max, Duke in Bavari.
