resume

His family (spelling also von Tschabuschnigg ) belonged to the nobility of free imperial knights, but were impoverished. After finishing school in Klagenfurt, he studied law in Vienna from 1826 to 1830 . He initially works u. a. in Trieste, before he was elected a member of the Carinthian Landtag for the landed estates during the revolution of 1848 .

After the revolution of 1848, Tschabuschnigg persistently and emphatically advocated reforms in all areas of life. In order to broaden his horizons, he traveled to France and Belgium in 1849 to study court practice there, and in Paris he was primarily interested in the establishment and equipment of prisons. As a member of parliament, he dealt with the draft constitution, the community order, the land redemption for the peasants, the reform of the estates and the judiciary. In 1851 he was appointed senior judge and transferred to Graz. In 1859 he became a councilor at the Supreme Court in Vienna, where he was appointed Reichsrat in 1861 . He was appointed Minister of Justice in Alfred Józef Potocki's cabinet in 1870.

Tschabuschnig went on several extended trips privately, for example to northern Germany in 1869, to Hungary and Poland in 1871, to Egypt, Asia Minor and Greece in 1872. Tschabuschnigg - a widower since 1867 - usually spent the summer in his villa in Pörtschach am Wörther See . This was also the case in 1877 after he had been to a spa in Karlsbad. The now 68-year-old had been ailing for a long time. When his condition suddenly deteriorated that year, he was brought to Vienna, where he died on November 1st, 1877.

Constantin von Wurzbach said of Tschabuschnig: "Tschabuschnigg was the only Austrian minister whose chest was decorated neither with a medal from his fatherland nor from a foreign state."
