Family of the founders of the Kaisergruft in Vienna, showing those buried there, their relationships, life spans, and tomb numbers as described in Imperial Crypt.

Note that the beginning of the chart shows the great dynastic marriages that brought the Habsburg dynasty its wide-spread territories: Maximilian I to the heiress of Burgundy (bringing the Netherlands), their son Philip to the heiress of Spain, their son Ferdinand to Anne of Bohemia (bringing the crowns of Bohemia and Hungary).

Compiled by Stan Zegel, 2005

The number before a person's name corresponds with that person's entry in the detailed listing of occupants of each Vault, to which it is hyperlinked. When necessary to establish continuity, a person buried elsewhere is assigned a number preceded by an x and then listed in the Selected Other Habsburgs section.

[edit] File Creation Technique

This series of files was created using Microsoft Visio 2000, with each page also saved as a .png file. (The master file was recently corrupted, so there will be no further corrections or additions to these charts until it is reconstructed.)

Each person buried in the Imperial Crypt is shown with his Habsburg ancestry composed of parallel bars to scale of the lifespan of that person. Every person must have both a mother and a father and is connected to them by a line at his birth year, which is the start of his lifespan bar. Each page also shows at least the parents from at least one preceding generation, for context with the principal subject of that page.

The line of descent can be drawn toward the top of the chart from a parent, but usually goes toward the bottom. To avoid line crossings and bar collisions, the oldest relevant child is usually the lifebar toward the bottom of the page and the youngest child is just under the parents. If the line of descent is the Imperial Crown line, the line is colored red, otherwise it is blue. If for special reasons (usually marriage to a cousin) the child is not in his usual place on the chart, then a distinctive (usually purple dashed or green) line connects them and that line is allowed to run across spouses in the way.

Each person who is buried here has his tomb number shown, even if there is no room for his name. If his life was so short that the tomb number will not fit inside a properly-scaled life line bar, then the bar is extended as necessary and has a dashed-line border instead of a solid one. The flag bearing only a tomb number can wave in either direction (for economy of space) but the pole representing the birth year is correct unless (again for economy of space) numerous children who died young share the same pole.

Sons of Habsburg fathers are on a green background. Daughters of Habsburg fathers are on a yellow background. Offspring of non-Habsburg fathers are shown on a blue background. All spouses, even if a Habsburg, are on a pink background. A male can be a spouse when the female is a Habsburg on the line of descent being shown. Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire or, later, of the Austrian Empire, are shown on a red background. The only non-Habsburg emperor is shown with a red border, but with the background color he would otherwise have.

If a parent is not buried in the Imperial Crypt ("Kaisergruft") then an entry on the chart is made for him anyway and his name is placed in italics within parenthesis. If the absent parent is a person about whom the reader is likely to want to read more, then he is entered into the Selected Other Habsburgs list with an ID number of "x" followed by the last three digits of his birth year and a hyperlink to his Wikipedia article, and that "x" number is shown on the chart. For reasons of historical context, certain additional persons are shown on a chart in the same way.

Sovereigns other than the Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire or the Austrian Empire are shown with a crown before their names, and their consorts have a different type of crown before their names. Bishops and above have a miter before their names. Each Grand Master ("Deutschmeister") of the Order of the Teutonic Knights has a maltese cross before his name. Those are created using a font to which glyphs from the Chess Alpha font have been enlarged and added.

The compiler of these directory graphs is unaware of a previous presentation of geneological data in this format, and thus in the legend has described each chart as a Zegelchart for lack of another name.
