Archduke Karl Albrecht of Austria-Teschen (Karl Albrecht Nikolaus Leo Gratianus von Österreich, later Karl Albrecht Habsburg-Lothringen, since 1919 – Karol Olbracht Habsburg-Lotaryński; 18 December 1888 – 17 March 1951) was an Austrian military officer, a member of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine.
Archduke Albrecht Friedrich Rudolf Dominik of Austria, Duke of Teschen (3 August 1817 – 18 February 1895), was an Austrian Habsburg general. He was the grandson of Emperor Leopold II and one of the chief military advisors of Emperor Francis Joseph I .
Archduke Albrecht died at his villa in Arco (then part of Tyrol, today in the Province of Trentino, Italy) on 18 February 1895. He is commemorated by the equestrian statue that stands on the Augustinerbastei in front of his Viennese palace, today known as the Albertina.
Albrecht reached the peak of his military career in 1866 through his victory at Custozza in the war against Italy – but at the price of around 5,000 lives. However, as Austria was defeated by Italy’s ally Prussia at Königgrätz, it still had to relinquish Venetia.
