Historical development

The Austrian official calendar appeared under this name for the first time in 1922. The series is a direct successor to the court and state calendars of the Habsburg monarchy, which were published since the beginning of the 18th century.

Preforms

Various preliminary forms of the court and state calendars have been known since the early modern period. At the Habsburg court have been since the time of Emperor Maximilian I in the so-called (1459-1519) Hofordnungen out ( "Ordonnances de l'hôtel") directories of court offices and personnel hofintern to grade or budgeting and expenditure control were used.

On the other hand, printed lists of the imperial court were addressed to the courtly public, which were published on the occasion of the Reichstag and were intended to express the rank and importance of the entourage who had traveled, i.e. which primarily served the representation and self-portrayal of the court.

In the course of the 17th century, the genre of court and state calendars developed. Based on the papal court, there were state handbooks printed all over Europe with detailed lists of offices and persons. They were primarily intended as a guide for diplomats and travelers.

Imperial state and state calendar

The main series of Austrian court and state hand calendars began in 1702: The Imperial and Royal As well as the Ertzherzogliche (...) and the Resident City of Vienna state and state calendars (...) were made, with imperial privilege , by the printer and later published by kk court bookseller Johann Baptist Schönwetter . In the course of the 18th century the work was still published irregularly, with titles and printer-publishers changing several times.

Schönwetter was also the publisher of the Wiennerisches Diarium , the later Wiener Zeitung . He was followed in 1724 by Johann Georg Frey - the printing works remained the same, based in the 'Rothen Igel' in downtown Vienna , today at the corner of Brandstätte / Wildpretmarkt.

During the Theresian era, the directory was first published by Johann Leopold Kaliwoda in the Imperial and Royal Reichshof and Universitätsbuchdruckerei at Dominikanerplatz No. 724 (today Vienna 1, Postgasse) under the title Schematismo of the Kayserl-regal as well as Archducal instances, offices, (...) etc. relocated.

The printing house was taken over by Joseph Gerold in 1775 , who started the series of court and state calendars from 1776 under the name of Court and State Schematism of the Roman Emperors. as well as kais. - and archduke. Capital and residence city Vienna (...) continued. Supplemented by a Viennese house directory , a coin rate table and three different registers (rubrics, names, court), the practical benefit aspect of Gerold's court and state scheme was very pronounced. Last but not least, it was aimed at the (business) travelers of the time who wanted to find out more about Vienna and the Viennese court.

Court and State Schematism of the Austrian Empire

In 1804 the court and state printing works were founded on an imperial resolution . Joseph Vincenz von Degen (1761–1827), its first director, also took over the publication of the court and state calendar: in 1807 the court and state scheme of the Austrian Empire first appeared in the state printing house. A genealogy of the ruling Austrian royal family was added to the actual directory as a new content element .

Until the end of the monarchy in 1918, the series was continued almost annually, but there are some gaps - between 1849 and 1855 or from 1868 to 1873 - however. In 1844 the title was changed to the Court and State Handbook of the Austrian Empire ; In 1874 it became the Court and State Handbook of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy .

Since 1867, the Lower Austrian Official Calendar has been published in parallel to the Court and State Manual in the kk Hof- und Staatsdruckerei - this was initially published in 1865 by the Manz printing company .

Most of the state handbooks have been digitized by the Austrian National Library and can be read on the web. In 2014, the oldest edition available on the web was 1702 and the most recent was 1907.

Austrian official calendar

As a successor to the Court and State Manual, the Austrian Official Calendar was published in the First Republic from 1922 by the publishing house of the Austrian State Printing House , which emerged from the Imperial and Royal Court and State Printing House . It was divided into three volumes - the federal state of Austria, Lower Austria / Vienna and the remaining seven federal states. The Lower Austrian Official Calendar , which was published as an independent work until 1921, was thus integrated into the ÖAK. In addition to the entries from the authorities and ministries and a monthly calendar, the federal section of the ÖAK contained all kinds of practical information: Post and telegraph tariffs, interest and compound interest tables , as well as an overview of the securities listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange or price lists for tobacco products can be found.

The Austrian official calendar was continued until the 17th year of 1938, the annexation of Austria to National Socialist Germany meant the temporary end.

After the Second World War , only the Lower Austrian official calendar was published in 1948; the publisher was the Lower Austrian provincial government. In 1949, the series of the Austrian official calendar was continued, again in the publishing house of the Austrian State Printing House, and the Lower Austrian part was again incorporated.

In 1993 the publishing house of the Staatsdruckerei was renamed Verlag Österreich; the state printing company was incorporated into a stock corporation and renamed Print Media Austria AG in 1999 . The legal specialist publisher of Print Media was incorporated into Verlag Österreich GmbH in 2000 , which has been publishing the ÖAK ever since.
