Maria von Reininghaus, née Eisl¹ (*Graz 11.8.1860 / † St. Radegund 23.9.1945), the young widow of Gustav I, married Dr. Paul Reininghaus on 22.8.1888 in Schloss Rabenstein in her second marriage. (*Graz 20.4.1859 / † Gainfarn 18.10.1920), the second son of Julius and Emilie Reininghaus and cousin of her husband. She brought the children Emy and Gusti into the marriage, followed by their children Werner, Margit and Harald Reininghaus.

¹The Eisl family had moved from Radkersburg to Graz in 1820, where Alois Eisl (1794 – 1854) was able to build up an influential banking business. His marriage to Josefa (née Lister) produced the children Cornelia, Reinhold and Adolf. Reinhold Benedikt (1830 – 1908) was a gifted engineer, built the viaduct near Sessana, the Graz-Fiume railroad line and designed and calculated the equestrian statue of Archduke Karl on Heldenplatz. He is also at the top of the Golden Book of Engineering/Graz. He and his wife Maria (née Winkler) were the parents of six children: Cornelia, Reinhold, Alfred, Maria “Mitzi”, Hermann and Martha.

In total, the Eisl family married into the Reininghaus/Mautner Markhof family three times.

Maria “Mitzi” was married in her first marriage to Gustav I, the eldest son of Johann Peter and Therese von Reininghaus. This marriage produced two children, Emilie “Emy” (married to Georg II Anton Mautner von Markhof) and Gustav II. After Gustav’s early death, Maria married his second cousin Paul Reininghaus, a son of Emilie and Julius Reininghaus.

Maria’s youngest sister Martha married Theodor I Ritter Mautner von Markhof in 1896 at the age of 21.

Both brothers’ Hermann Eisl, married to Ernestine (née Mayer), was in turn the father of Elisabeth, Herwarth, Melitta and Herbert. Gerhard Mautner Markhof married his cousin Elisabeth in 1926 (Elisabeth’s father Hermann and Gerhard’s mother Martha were siblings).

The Eisl family crypt has been under the care of the MMFG since 2017.
