“Georg Ludwig Ritter von Trapp was born in Zara in the Kingdom of Dalmatia, then a crown land of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and now in Croatia. His father, Fregattenkapitän August Johann Trapp, was a naval officer, and his mother, Hedwig Wepler, had immigrated to the Adriatic Coast from the Grand Duchy of Hesse. His father had been raised to the Austrian nobility with the hereditary title of Ritter, upon being made a member of the Order of the Iron Crown; he died of typhoid fever in 1884, when Georg was four. Trapp’s older sister was the Austrian artist Hede von Trapp, and his brother Werner died in 1915 during World War I.”
