The Austrian federal government Kreisky I was formed after the National Council election of March 1, 1970 , in which the SPÖ had overtaken the ÖVP without attaining an absolute majority in the mandate. Against the promise to change the electoral law in a minority-friendly manner, Bruno Kreisky succeeded in obtaining the benevolent tolerance of his minority government (the first in the history of the Second Republic), which was supposed to replace the ÖVP's sole government, Klaus II , through the FPÖ . 13 years began with this cabinet, during which the SPÖ led the federal government alone, with Kreisky at its head. The ÖVP, which had provided all Federal Chancellors since 1945, went into opposition and remained so until 1987.

Federal President Franz Jonas appointed the cabinet on April 21, 1970 . It has been criticized that almost a third of the government consisted of former National Socialists. Johann Öllinger , a former SS-Untersturmführer, resigned four weeks after his appointment voluntarily and only for reasons of illness from his office as Minister of Agriculture and was replaced by the former NSDAP member Oskar Weihs .

In the autumn of 1971, after changing the electoral law, the cabinet brought about new elections, which now gave the SPÖ an absolute majority. The Kreisky I cabinet resigned on October 19, 1971 and was entrusted with the continuation of business by the Federal President until the appointment of the second Kreisky cabinet on November 4, 1971 .
