Removed flag of Republic of Austria
I removed the Austrian Republic flag icon from the Infobox, in accordance with several sections of WP:ICON; specifically (quoting),


 * "Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many...."
 * "Flags make simple, blunt statements about nationality, while words can express the facts with more complexity. [Gurz was for many centuries part of the German Empire (Holy Roman Empire), of the Duchy of Austria, of the Duchy of Bavaria]. The Austrian Republic has existed only since 1918.
 * Do not rewrite history. Flags should not be used to misrepresent the nationality of a historical figure [including some bishops], event, object, etc. Political boundaries change, often over the span of a biographical article subject's lifetime. Where ambiguity or confusion could result, it is better not to use a flag at all, and where one is genuinely needed, use the historically accurate flag."
