Heinrich Lammasch (21 May 1853, Seitenstätten – 6 January 1920, Salzburg)
Lammach was a lawyer, a professor of criminal and international law, and a member and president of several international arbitral courts.
His concern was always the struggle for peace, and he was the one who nominated Berta von Suttner for the Nobel Peace Prize.
From 25 October to 11 November 1918, Lammasch was the last prime minister of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
In 1919, he was a member of the Austrian delegation in St. Germain.
Deeply disappointed by the political developments, he died in Salzburg in 1920. According to the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig, only five people attended Lammasch’s funeral at the Salzburg cemetery. In 1957, his daughter Margarethe had her father's body exhumed in Salzburg and reburied in Ischl.
Until they passed away, his wife Eleonore († 1944) and his daughter Margarete († 1975) owned and lived in the house at Kaiser-Franz-Joseph-Strasse 2, next to the Oberbank bank and behind the Rudolfspark garden.
Lammasch’s grave is in the cemetery of Bad Ischl, found on the left in the row of crypts.
