Authorities in Upper Austria

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The coat of arms of front Austria

The authorities in Upper Austria have been established by the Vienna Hofburg in Innsbruck , Ensisheim and Freiburg im Breisgau since early modern times in order to administer the widely scattered possessions in the south-west of the Holy Roman Empire . The Habsburg territories did not belong to the Swabian , but to the Austrian Empire . Relations between the two poles, independence of the foothills and dependence on the headquarters, have fluctuated over the centuries.

history

In the Battle of Austerlitz on December 2, 1805, Napoleon won the decisive victory over the Austrian Empire , which suffered severe territorial losses. Five centuries of rule by the House of Habsburg came to an end in south-west Germany and Upper Austria was divided among the Confederation of the Rhine , allied with the French Emperor . In the years that followed, the new rulers of the former Habsburg territories made every effort to let the anachronistic affiliation to Vienna of the countries and lands on the Upper Rhine and Upper Danube be forgotten. The archives of the imperial and royal administrations from the central authorities and higher offices led a shadowy existence in various archives from Karlsruhe to Stuttgart to Munich . The policy of targeted concealment has largely succeeded; even the renowned 19-volume Meyers Konversations-Lexikon from 1885ff no longer even lists the keyword. The 21st century had to dawn before the holdings of Front Austria - mainly in the General State Archives in Karlsruhe - were reorganized, indexed and edited in finding aids.

Front Austria at the end of the Old Kingdom

Vorderösterreich was the collective name for the earlier Habsburg possessions west of Tyrol . In addition to the original property of the Counts of Habsburg in Alsace , Sundgau and Aargau , they acquired Freiburg and the Landgraviate of Breisgau in 1368 , the Landvogtei in Swabia and the territories of the Counts of Hohenberg in 1381, and in 1403 the Bailiwicks of Laufenburg and Säckingen from the branch line Habsburg-Laufenburg , 1504/05 the Landvogtei Hagenau in Alsace and the Ortenau, which was later often pledged .

From 1379 to 1490 these goods fell to the Leopoldine line of Habsburg. Since 1536, Upper Austria comprised the Landgraviate of Upper Alsace with its seat in Ensisheim and the Reichslandvogtei in Alsace with the protective bailiff over 40 imperial villages and the imperial cities of the Decapolis , furthermore in Breisgau the county of Hauenstein and the lordship of Laufenburg as well as the lordships of Kastelberg and Schwarzenberg , Kirnberg , Rheinfelden and Triberg . Swabian Austria was the collective term for the margraviate of Burgau , the imperial county of Hohenberg , the county of Nellenburg and the bailiwick in Swabia. Since 1548, the city of Konstanz , the county of Feldkirch and other goods “located in front of the Arl”, today's Vorarlberg , have also been counted as part of Upper Austria . In the last epoch of the Old Empire, Maria Theresa's marriage to Franz Stephan in Lorraine became the imperial county of Falkenstein (1731) in the Palatinate of Upper Austria and finally the ore house of Habsburg succeeded in acquiring the rule of Hohenems (1765) and the local bailiff of Ortenau (1771) ) and the imperial county of Montfort (1780).

Ständehaus in Ehingen

After the focus of their power interests had shifted to Central Eastern Europe, the territories in Alsace, Sundgau, Aargau, Thurgau , Breisgau and the Black Forest - although they included the home lands with the Habsburgs that gave the house its name - remained small-scale appendages of the Archduchy of Austria . The properties, also known as “Vorlande”, as they were all in front of the Arlberg , never formed more than the “tail feather of the imperial eagle”, and were always considered as objects of exchange. In the dispute with the confederates in the course of the 14th and 15th centuries, sealed in the Peace of Basel in 1499, the former ancestral lands in Aargau and Thurgau were gradually lost to the Swiss. With the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, Austria had to renounce all possessions on the left bank of the Rhine and cede Alsace and all its accessories to France .

V. Austrian government in Ensisheim

Five epochs shaped the relationship between Vienna and the authorities set up for the Upper Austria complex in the Hofburg at Innsbruck on the one hand, and the foothills on the other hand over the centuries. It was not until 1523 that a “regiment” for Upper Austria with its seat in Ensisheim ( Département Haut-Rhin ) was set up and after the loss of Alsace in 1651 it was relocated to Freiburg im Breisgau , albeit initially with limited territorial jurisdiction.

First epoch 1406–1490

The dukes Friedrich IV with the empty pocket and Sigmund had no powers in Austria proper and were only sovereigns of the Upper and Front Austrian lands with their seat in Innsbruck. They were personally at the head of the government; their first officials were officials with the titles of court master , chancellor and bailiff . The period from 1439 to 1458 was the only one in which Upper Austria was governed independently. Archduke Albrecht VI. the bountiful held court in Freiburg im Breisgau with his wife Mathilde, daughter of the Count Palatine near Rhine . In 1457 he founded the University of Freiburg , which quickly became the spiritual center of Upper Austria. The influence of his wife, who had got to know the role model Heidelberg at the Palatinate Court , played a role that should not be underestimated when the company was founded. With the establishment of the University of Freiburg, Albrecht and Mathilde achieved what was probably the most important and long-lasting cultural and political achievement in Upper Austria.

Second epoch 1490–1565

The emperors Maximilian I and Ferdinand I ruled Upper Austria together with the other kingdoms and countries of the monarchy. The Upper Austrian central authorities were dependent on the court in Vienna, in Innsbruck there were representatives of the sovereign power, with the title Landhofmeister to Maximilian, Lieutenant to Ferdinand. In Ensisheim a government (“Regiment of our Front Lands in Upper Alsace”) was established, and in 1523 Archduke Ferdinand issued the first detailed instructions. A bailiff acted as chief, supported by governors, Chancellor, Kammerprokurator and four other councils. The Upper Austrian government and chamber always remained subordinate to the Upper Austrian court authorities in Innsbruck. The four countries Alsace, Sundgau, Breisgau and Black Forest enjoyed a special position under their own "regiment", while Swabian Austria consisting of Hohenberg, Nellenburg, Konstanz, Burgau, the Danube cities and the bailiwick of Swabia, as well as the lordships before the Arl until 1752 immediately under the Upper Austrian Subordinate to the government and chamber of Innsbruck.

Third epoch 1565–1665

The Archduke Ferdinand II. , Maximilian III. , Leopold V , his widow Claudia de 'Medici , Ferdinand Karl and Sigismund Franz were again only Counts of Tyrol in Innsbruck, to which the foreland belonged. The supreme college to support the sovereigns was now called the Hofrat or Privy Council with a governor at the head until 1596, after which the Privy Council and the regiment each had a president with a seat at the Innsbruck Hofburg . The court chancellor had the most influence in the Privy Council, and there was also the office of regimental chancellor. After Alsace and the seat of government Ensisheim were ceded to France during the Peace of Westphalia, a quick decision had to be made about the future structure of the administration. The alternative of placing the lands in Breisgau and the Black Forest under the Upper Austrian Court Chamber of Innsbruck was rejected. In 1651, the Upper Austrian government and chamber took their seat in Freiburg im Breisgau in the representative city palace of Maximilian's court chancellor Konrad Stürtzel , who had given refuge to the Basel cathedral chapter after the Reformation and is therefore called the Basel court .

The Golden Roof in Innsbruck

Fourth epoch 1665–1752

The emperors Leopold I , Joseph I , Karl VI. and at first Maria Theresa ruled in a centralistic manner over all Austrian countries, the Hofburg in Innsbruck was again subordinate to the authorities in Vienna. The representative of the monarch in Innsbruck carried the title Gubernator , of which Duke Karl von Lothringen 1678–1690 and Count Palatine Karl Philipp von Pfalz-Neuburg 1706–1717 had a particular impact. The presidents of the Upper Austrian Secret Council in Innsbruck and the court chancellery remained. Under Count Friedrich Wilhelm von Haugwitz , who decisively determined the policy of the Theresian reforms , the "essence" in Inner and Upper Austria were dissolved, instead in Graz , Klagenfurt , Laibach and Innsbruck central authorities for the individual countries with the name "Representation and Chamber" set up.

Fifth epoch 1752–1805

In 1752 the Innsbruck authority was limited to Tyrol and separate institutions were created for the foreland with the seat of the "Representation" in Constance and the "Chamber" in Freiburg. Maria Theresa's decree of May 13th, 1752 is therefore the actual birth certificate of Upper Austria and extended the jurisdiction of the Freiburg government to Swabian Austria and Vorarlberg. In 1759 the not very practical division of the offices was abolished and the representation was moved from Constance to Freiburg and merged to form the “Front Austrian Government and Chamber”. The subordination of Vorarlberg to the authorities in Freiburg proved to be unenforceable because of the great distance and was repealed in 1782. Vorarlberg was assigned to the closer " Gubernium " Innsbruck. "Gubernien" were created in the states of Styria , Carinthia , Carniola and Tyrol as early as 1763 , but not in the foreland.

The Basler Hof in Freiburg

The history of Front Austria ends in 1805. The country was occupied by Napoleonic troops and in the Peace of Pressburg on Bavaria (Burgau without the principal town of Ehingen, Wasserburg), Württemberg (Landvogtei Swabia, Donaustädte, Ehingen, Tettnang and Hohenberg) and Baden (Breisgau without Fricktal, Black Forest, Ortenau, Nellenburg, Konstanz ) distributed. The built up over more than four centuries attachment to archducal Habsburg flared during the Congress of Vienna again, but all attempts centered on Freiburg Habsburg Sekundogenitur create failed already at the energetic opposition of Prince Metternich , whose mother, after all, a born Kageneck and Had been a representative of the nobility in front of Austria. Military strategic reasons outweighed old sentiments. Vienna looked politically to the south-east and did not want to take over “Watch on the Rhine”.

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ His son Christoph Anton Graf von Schauenburg held the office of "District Chief in Breisgau and Commissarius of the Upper Austrian Estates" newly created by Count Haugwitz from 1756–1759 in order to bring the knighthood and the cities of Freiburg, Breisach and Neuchâtel under stricter government control . Resistance and obstruction of the knighthood were successful, because with the dishonorable dismissal of Schauenburg the office expired. See head (see literature)
