 * Keep Not a hoax. He's described as "the director of the Kabinettskanzlei" in The Austro-German Rapprochement, 1870-1879: From the Battle of Sedan to the Dual Alliance. In 1894, he's called in German "Cabinets-Director His Excellency Mr. Adolph Freiherr von Braun, Knight of the Austrian Imperial. Order of the Iron Crown of the first class, Commander of the Royal. Hungarian St. Stephen's - Order, Chevalier de Austrian Imperial. Order of Leopold" in Handbuch des allerhöchsten Hofes und des Hofstaates seiner K. und K. Apostolischen Majestät, which translates as "Handbook of the Supreme Court and courtiers of His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty".  The trick is to leave out his middle name "Aloys" and search for either "Adolph von Braun" or his imperial title "Adolph Freiherr von Braun".  I used Google Translate, so the translations may not be 100% accurate.
