Biography
[edit]Kohl was born on 13 September 1968 in Regensburg to Theodor Kohl, a German businessman, and Ingrid Schlechta, a German art collector.[1] Her father is an entrepreneur who owned pharmaceutical design, medical device wholesale, and construction businesses.[1]

In 1993, she met Prince Alexander of Liechtenstein, the son of Prince Philipp of Liechtenstein and grandson of Franz Joseph II, in Gstaad.[1] On 24 January 2003, she and Prince Alexander married in a civil ceremony in Vaduz. Their Catholic wedding, officiated by Archbishop Wolfgang Haas, took place on 8 February 2003 in Salzburg.[1] Astrid wore a wedding dress by Jean Paul Gaultier for the occasion, and 300 guests were present for the three-day celebrations.[1]
She gave birth to a daughter, Theodora Alexandra Isabella Antonia Nora Marie on 20 November 2004.
Astrid and her husband own the Villa Sant'Andrea, an 1,000-year old former Benedictine monastery overlooking Lake Garda near Verona.[2] Their estate includes seventy-five acres of parkland, stables, a swimming pool, a church, a vineyard, and an olive grove, and an orchard.[3] Her parents, who purchased the estate for Astrid, lived with them at the villa for twelve years.[4] Astrid is an art collector and keeps a collection of Meissen porcelain and her home.[1]
She and her husband own Pharmathek, a pharmaceutical company.[1] Astrid is an interior designer and the founder of Crown Designs, which sells luxury interiors for boutiques and hotels.[4] Her design company operates in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States.[1]
