Johann von Klenau (English Wikipedia)

Note: Austrian regiments often bore the name of prominent Proprietor (Inhaber)s, or sometimes called Colonel-Proprietors, or for notable actions at which the regiment received battle honors. A Colonel-Inhaber/Colonel Proprietor was originally a noble (or wealthy aristocrat) who raised the regiment. Subsequently, a noble or an officer who had achieved some distinction was appointed to the regimental position as an "honorary" appointment. If the appointment was honorary, a "second" colonel was appointed who would fulfill the duties of the colonel. Stephen Herold. The Austrian Army in 1812. In: La Société Napoléonienne. 1996–2003.
