List of Austrian envoys to the Hanseatic cities
This is a list of the ambassadors of the Holy Roman Empire ( HRR ) in the time of the Habsburg Monarchy in Hamburg (1648 to 1918). Imperial ambassadors of the "Habsburgs" existed in the Hanseatic cities as early as 1648, but at that time without diplomatic accreditation as after the Peace of Westphalia .
Hamburg was a Free Imperial City from 1510 , occupied by France in 1806 , annexed as part of the French Empire from 1811 to 1814 , Free City in the German Confederation from 1815 and a federal state in the German Empire from 1871 . The Habsburg legation remained vacant with Hamburg's membership in the North German Confederation (from 1867) and was dissolved in 1893 when the Habsburgs were already leading the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
