history

At the time of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy , an imperial and royal war ministry , which was responsible for the entire monarchy, and an imperial and royal ministry for national defense , which only served the Austrian half of the empire , were set up. From 1918 to 1920 there was a State Office for Army Affairs , from 1920 to 1936 a Federal Ministry for Army Affairs , and from 1936 to 1938 the authority was called the Federal Ministry for National Defense . When it belonged to the Greater German Reich, there was no separate Austrian authority. From 1945 to 1956, during the period when the Republic of Austria was externally controlled by the occupying powers, the national defense agendas were the responsibility of the Office for National Defense , a section in the Federal Chancellery . A separate ministry was then set up again, which until 2009 was called the Federal Ministry for National Defense .

In the Federal Government of Faymann I , the sports agendas previously located in the Federal Chancellery were attached to the Ministry of Defense. Sport was first mentioned by law in 1966 as a matter of the Federal Ministry of Education, in 1984 sport appeared in a ministry designation for the first time with the designation Federal Ministry of Education, Art and Sport . In 1991 sport came to the Federal Ministry for Health, Sport and Consumer Protection, 1995 to the Federal Chancellery , 2000 to the Federal Ministry for Public Achievement and Sport , in 2003 again to the Federal Chancellery and finally in 2009 to the Federal Ministry for National Defense and Sport . In 2018, the sports agendas became part of the newly created Federal Ministry for Public Service and Sport , as a result of which the Ministry of Defense was renamed the Federal Ministry for National Defense .
