The problem of the study of Jewish elites is that it is often ahistoric, oscillating between indiscriminate admiration and total refusal, which merely reflects the extremes of a traditionally unbalanced attitude of the society towards the Jews as well as towards nobility in general. Jewish nobility is part of the the so‑called new nobility of the 18th to 20th centuries, although in legal terms it does not constitute any specific group within it. Like other families belonging to the new nobility, its members obtained their titles as a reward for their credit and contribution to the monarchy and public welfare and, but for a few rare exceptions, had no social or family ties to aristocratic or old‑nobility families, despite the fact that it was precisely the new nobility who, since no later than the middle of the 19th century played a crucial role not only in the economy of the country, but also in its politics, army as well as its culture. Unlike aristocracy, this new social group, usually called „second society“, was open to all newcomers who had acquired a certain social status. The reason for nobilitation did not play any role in being a member of this elite: while some individuals were ennobled thanks to their entrepreneurial success which allowed them to give out large sums to charity, others earned their title due to exemplary performance of administrative or military service, and still others were nobilitated as a reward for their success in art and science. Whereas members of the latter group were nobility only through their titles and lifestyles, and through their family ties remained connected to the bourgeoisie, rich entrepreneurs and top state officials were often able to transform their considerable wealth in political and social capital.

One of the oldest privileges of the officers of the Habsburg Monarchy established by Maria Theresa in 1757 gave the commissioned officers involved in a campaign after 30 years of service the right to apply for free-of-charge ennoblement in the Habsburg Monarchy (later Austrian Empire). The aim was to enhance the social status of the officers as well as to strengthen the pledge between these officers and the monarch. In the following years, the directive was further amended. Since 1896 a forty-year service sufficed for ennoblement of an officer and, at the same time, it was determined that Austrian officers shall be granted an Austrian title and Hungarian officers a Hungarian title. World War I, however, witnessed the most dramatic rise in modifications. The study focuses on the recruitment of nobility from the ranks of officers and its main goal is the scrutiny of the events leading to the aforementioned changes throughout World War I and the consequences of these changes.

The aim of this study is to outline the summary development of Jewish nobility (persons of the Jewish faith or origin) in the Hapsburg Monarchy, yet focusing primarily upon contemporary specifics in terms of their nobilitations. It summarizes the development of awarding aristocratic titles to these persons and attempts to characterize the main milestones of nobilitations and compares the nobilitation policy of the rulers of the Danube Monarchy and the Kingdom of Prussia towards individuals of the Jewish faith and origin.

This paper is focused on piousness and the family representation of the Counts of Sporck on the Heřmanův Městec estate (East Bohemia) in the 1st half of the 18th century. The founder of this noble clan, Johann of Sporck (approximately 1600–1679), was born as a member of a peasant family near Paderborn, Germany and began the social rise of the Sporcks. He was under military duty with the Duke of Bavaria and consequently (as of 1647) served Emperor Ferdinand III. Sporck became a general and a rich and powerful magnate during the Thirty Years’ War war and the consequent struggles. The public fame of this new noble family was harmed, however, by the General’s son Ferdinand Leopold (1664–1711), who murdered his own butler, attacked his wife and other persons, and caused public commotion as well as conflicts with the elder brother Franz Anton (1662–1738). Ferdinand’s sons Johann Joseph (1693–1749) and Johann Rudolf (1695–1759), Bishop (in partibus) of Adriathea and suffragan Bishop of Prague as well, worked at improving the damaged public reputation of the Sporcks through devout acts and care for the spiritual lives of their subjects on the Heřmanův Městec estate. Noble family representation was connected with Baroque piousness in this case and point.
