1077. Baron Laszlo DE DIRSZTAY
ref 31 shows birth 1860 Debrecen death 1922.
A more reliable death date comes from https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/154833866/ladislaus_baron_von-dirsztay
which gives a birthdate of 3 May 1856 Budapest (here we favour Debrecen suggested by ref 31). A more reliable alternative birthdate from ref 342 is 9 May 1856. Also from ref 342 is that Viktor’s father, Ladislaus von Dirsztay, was a rich man, a banker
and retailer, Director of the Lemberg–Czernowitz railway and imperial
consul-general for Turkey.11 Around the turn of the century he acquired an
imposing three-storey palace, which is still standing today (Rennweg 25), in
the Vienna diplomatic district, opposite the park and palace of Belvedere;
he entrusted its interior design to the architect and co-founder of the
Secession, Josef Maria Olbrich.12 I have found out from Theodor Herzl’s
(1985, 1993) diaries that in his function as consul-general of the Ottoman
empire he participated in negotiations with the Turkish government
over the acquisition of territory in Palestine.13 During the years around 1900 he acted as a sort of intermediary between Herzl and the lower
rank negotiators for Turkey. Herzl (1985) considered him ‘grotesque’ and
‘absolutely comic’ (pp. 50, 216). Once he spoke of him as the ‘Turkish
Consul-General von Dirsztay ne´ Fischl from Pest’ and thus expresses a
discrepancy between his status and his behaviour (ibid., p. 152). Elsewhere
he is outraged by Ladislaus von Dirsztay’s fondness for buying titles and
orders, for bribing others and allowing himself to be bribed.14
These not very benevolent observations are of interest to us since his
son Viktor also tried to gain advantage with the aid of money, though at
the same time acting very generously with his fortune. In Dirsztay’s
comedy Das Genie [The Genius] one imagines meeting his father in
the character of ‘Uncle Gyula, Petroleum Trade’, a corpulent, ill-educated,
wealthy old man, an endearing joker who speculates on the stock exchange
and unashamedly seeks out the company of artists and intellectuals.
He enjoys the company of the ‘genius’, a well-known writer, while the
latter is interested in him because he would like to pick up tips on buying
shares. In the same humorous manner the overlapping of capital and
art, money and poetry, is also depicted in Schlemihl. As I shall show,
the darker and intolerable side of this contradiction comes to dominate,
above all in the novel Der Unentrinnbare [The Inescapable] (Dirsztay,
1923)
they divorced and she married Count Erno Zichy - see ref 342 which advises Etelka Dirsztay, nee Steinfeld, married a second time in 1892 after divorcing
Ladislaus and became Gra¨fin Zichy zu Zich (see website of the House of Zichy zu Zich).
