Profile

Feldmarschall Johann Karl, Graf von Kolowrat-Krakowsky was a Bohemian noble and military officer of the Habsburg monarchy. A member of the Krakowsky branch of the Kolowrat family, he joined the Imperial Army as a young man. He fought against the Kingdom of Prussia and Ottoman Turkey before being promoted to general officer rank. During combat against the French in the French Revolutionary Wars, he first became known as an artillery specialist. In the Napoleonic Wars, he commanded corps in the 1805 and 1809 campaigns. He became the Proprietor (Inhaber) of an Austrian infantry regiment in 1801 and held that position until his death.
