Supporting the Restoration of Baron Andrej Čehovin’s Burial Headstone

December 2, 2022

Guardiaris, in collaboration with the Park of Military History Pivka, contributed to the restoration of Baron Andrej Čehovin’s burial headstone, honoring one of the most decorated soldiers of his time.

Baron Andrej Čehovin (1810–1855) had a distinguished military career, rising from an ordinary soldier to the rank of captain. He remains the only officer in Austrian Army history to receive all three of its highest decorations for bravery: the Military Order of Maria Theresa, along with gold and silver medals of the 1st degree.

Over time, his burial headstone at the City Parish Cemetery in Baden near Vienna had fallen into neglect. Thanks to the initiative of Ivan Martelanc, adviser to the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, the Park of Military History Pivka took on the task of its restoration. Guardiaris provided financial and logistical support to help complete the project.

The restoration was formally marked on December 2, 2022, with a wreath-laying ceremony attended by the Slovenian Minister of Defence, Mr. Marjan Šarec, during his official visit to Austria.
