Biographical Essay (by Digby Smith)
Franz von (Freiherr since ) Petrasch was born in
1746 in Perron.
From 1785-88 he was an Oberstleutnant and commander of a grenadier battalion.
In 1792, he was an Oberst, commanding Infantry Regiment "De Vins" N°37
in Flanders. He was distinguished several times in combat. In October 1793, he
received his promotion to Generalmajor. Early next year, he commanded
an infantry brigade, operating with the Duke of York, under Sachsen-Coburg in
the Netherlands.
On 17 February 1796, Petrasch was promoted to Feldmarschalleutnant in
the Army of the Upper Rhine. In this year, he was appointed commandant of Mannheim
fortress. On 18 September he was in front of the fortress of Kehl and on the
River Neckar and launched an assault, which was beaten off with loss. On 19 October,
he commanded one of the assault columns in the victorious battle of Emmendingen
under FZM Graf von Wartensleben. When Wartensleben was wounded, Petrasch took
command of the column. In 1797 he was also on the upper Rhine.
In 1799 FML Petrasch commanded a division under Erzherzog
Carl and fought at Stockach (25 March), on the right wing, near Liptingen. He
was then under FML Hotze in the clashes of Frauenfeld (25 May), Winterthur (27
May). In the 1st battle of Zürich (4 June), he was on the left wing, at
Wallisellen. When Hotze was wounded in the assault on Mount Zürich, he handed
over command to Petrasch. In August 1799, Erzherzog Carl took most of the army
north into Swabia. Petrasch remained in Switzerland, as second in command of
Hotze's Austrian corps (11 battalions, 10 squadrons, 10,000 men), cooperating
with the Russians under GL Rimskij-Korsakov.
When Hotze was killed whilst on a reconnaissance
ride on 25 September in the second battle of Zürich, Petrasch took over
command and withdrew to Feldkirch, losing 5,000 men, 25 guns and 4 colours. In
1800, he was appointed commandant of Ulm fortress. He died on 17 January 1820
in Vienna.
