Heinz von Kron

Heinz von Kron.

Heinz von Kron was the German ambassador to the Mexican Empire in 1901. Emperor of Mexico Benito Hermión was hosting a state dinner honoring von Kron in the Imperial Palace on the evening of 15 October 1901 when Kramer Associates President Diego Cortez y Catalán launched his coup d'etat against Hermión. Von Kron was presumably among those who fled the palace the following morning after it was surrounded by a force of Kramer Guards under the command of Martin Cole.
