Full given name: Alfred Friedrich Ernst Heinrich Conrad
He was married at Southampton, New York on December 15, 1984 to Maritza Farkas de Zaladörgicse et Kiskapornok.∼Alfred Friedrich Ernst Heinrich Conrad of Prussia, Saxony and Altenburg, the name of the former German aristocrat who lived in Costa Rica much of the twentieth century and little more than a decade of the 21st century. At the time of his death in 2013 he was 179th in line of succesion to the British throne.
Alfred's father, Prince Sigismund, and his mother, Princess Charllotte, had come to the Costa Rican tropical republic in 1927, after breaking relations with German royalty. The center of the dispute was a young twenty-something year old woman who claimed to be Anastasia Romanov, daughter of the last Russian tsar. Sigismund was a cousin of the Romanov family, and had shared his childhood with Anastasia and her siblings before the Russian dynasty was overthrown by the October Revolution of 1917. Although most of European royalty rejected the girl's claim, who later became known as Anna Anderson, Sigismund found her so like his cousin that he had no doubt she was Anastasia. This mistake would cause the rift within his family that would drive him to leave Germany and travel to Costa Rica.
Alfred was born in very remote places of the Finca Santa Sofia, which at the time was located in what now is Guatemala, as his father was trying to build a succesful coffee plantation. But this agricultural experiment failed, and as a result, Sigismund and the family returned to Germany. But again protests within his family lead Sigismund to uproot his family once again and return to Costa Rica in 1927. Sigismund purchased approximately 20 acres of land in Cañyon, Costa Rica to begin once again to build an exporter service, mainly in wood, honey, and tobacco. But life was too harsh for Charlotta and the children; Alfred 3 and his sister, Barbara at 7 years of age. And in 1938 Alfred and Barbara crossed the Atlantic to see her paternal grandmother. Sigismund had one condition: that Alfred would be sent to a boarding school in Switzerland, to avoid the Nazi indoctrination in German schools. Barbara had completed high school at the Colegio Superior de Senoritas in Costa Rica, so she could stay with her grandmother in the family mansion in Hemmelmark, northern Germany. In 1946, Alfred had studied agronomy in Switzerland and finally returned to San Miguelito four years later.
The 1950s brought changes to the Prussian family. Princess Barbara had decided to return to Europe with her grandmother, freely exercising her title and, in 1954, married the Duke of Mecklenburg -Schwerin. Alfred worked two years with the Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) in Cachi Dam, then he coordinated logistics for Ambosmares, a company of sea and air transport. He played a similar role in S. Central Services A., where he coordinated industrial imports from Germany. His last job before his father 's death was an administrator of Isla Jesusita, a hotel with 20 rooms on a small island in the Gulf of Nicoya. An amiable bachelor of 53, Alfred worked as the manager of the only hotel on the island .
Alfred von Prussia lived detached from the material world. During his lifetime , he managed to live a dicotic life: Prince Alfred of Prussia, Saxony and Altenburg, and Alfred of the Barranca, who lived in a house in San Pablo de Heredia. And a unpretintious, hotel owner in Costa Rica. He was neither living the life of a regal prince, nor living like a pauper. Alfred von Prussia just needed gasoline in his pick-up truck to be happy. Norbert Sequeira, a colleague of the Prince in Central Services Company, shed light on Alfred's personality: "Alfred was a very gullible person".
In 1984, at age 60, he married a wealthy Hungarian woman named Maritza von Wilpe, nee Farkas, de Zaladörgicse de Kiskapornok (6 August 1929 – 1 November 1996), who owned property in the United States and Europe. Alfred married her on the 15th of December, 1984 on Long Island, New York. They would had no issue.
Alfred always preferred the quiet life of Heredia and the Pacific breeze. So, while Princess Maritza jet-setted the world, Alfred drove happily through the Costa Rican countryside in his pick-up truck. Also, in 1984, his mother, Charlotte returned to Hemmelmark to reunite with her daughter and live. She died in 1989 and her remains were returned to Costa Rica to be buried alongside those of Sigismund in 1995. Her daughter Barbara died in 1994 in Hemmelmark .
Alfred's life changed in 1996 when Princess Maritza died in New York City, after battling cancer. Alfred inherited her properties in Escazu, Costa Rica, New York, and Spain.
Unaccustomed to handling money when the prince was widowed, the septuagenarian delegated the administration of his assets to a Spanish lawyer who he had met through his former wife . At 75, Alfred's mental stability started deterriate, he confided with friends that an ETA commando group was chasing him and; "his enemies wanted to throw poison frogs through the windows of the truck as he drove though the village".
Amid the confusion that Alfred's paranoia generated, Alfred relied on a Croatian named Ivan Bukvic, also known as Danko. It is unclear how Hr. Bukvic became to be the confidant of Alfred, but no mention of the Croatian appears before 2000. In 2001,
Bukvic received an unlimited power-of-attorney from Alfred that even stipulated the possibility of acting as adjudicator for Alfred's property in Spain . A year later, Bukvic 's son, Ivo, received from an additional general power of attorney, this time with permission to act in Germany. The Prince lived detached on his Island Hotel Jesusita.
In February 2008 Bukvic maintained access to Exclusive Properties on 29 January, 2008 by signing, along with the Prince, a record of corporation in which the administration was delegated to two managers who would share general powers of attorney. These two managers were Alfred and Bukvic.
At 84, on the third of June 2013, Prince gave Bukvic, who was 71 years old, had the right to bury the last Prince of Prussia in Costa Rica. The record of the pit E -12 1/2, lower niche, does not appear any of them.
The Prince died on the 5th of June, 2013 and was buried on the the same day.
The cemetery at Purral, the Redeemer cemetery administrator, pit E12- registered in the name of the daughter of Bukvic.
The house of San Pablo de Heredia was demolished, and in its space a large gray building was erected.
