biography

Lienbacher was as smallholders son was born and was by one of the city Hallein unforgivable scholarship from the seven city dwellers Foundation at the University of Vienna jurisprudence study. Knowing the Hungarian language , he served as public prosecutor in Ofen (Buda) in 1854 , then became head of the Vienna public prosecutor's office and legislative advisor in the Ministry of Justice . In 1870 he became a higher regional judge in Vienna, in 1880 court advisor at the highest court and cassation court and in 1882 a member of the imperial court . Together with Ferdinand von Lentner, he was the editor of the magazine Oeffublic Sicherheit, published between 1869 and 1877 .

From 1870 Lienbacher was also active in politics and until his death represented the Salzburg markets of Golling an der Salzach , Abtenau and Kuchl in the Salzburg state parliament and from 1873 the electoral curia of the rural communities of the Flachgau and the newly founded Tennengau in the Reichsrat . He was considered a Catholic - Conservative and was successful, among other things, in the extension of the right to vote to the "five guilder men" through the "Lex Zeithammer-Lex Lienbacher" (1882). With his politics he was more and more in opposition to that of the Prime Minister Count Eduard Taaffe and the "Iron Ring". The establishment of an “Agricultural Club” (1884) and a “Free Agricultural Association” (1891) were intended to counteract political isolation.

In the crown land of Salzburg, Lienbacher quickly rose to become the leader of the conservative parliamentary group as well as the decisive personality in the state parliament and, as chairman of the administrative and constitutional committee, dominated the main issues and debates from 1879. In addition to the social issues of his time, his main focus was on re-establishing the University of Salzburg as a free Catholic university. With his politics he came increasingly in opposition to Governor Carl Graf Chorinsky in Salzburg , which ultimately led to the split from the conservatives and the establishment of the independent center club in 1887. He also found a broad field of activity in the Agricultural Association (1883), the University Association (1884) and the Agricultural Society (1888).

After the state elections of 1890, Lienbacher established the German Conservative Middle Party as the “third camp” between conservatives and liberals. Agricultural interests were in the foreground of the party, and the “Volksfreund” was established as the party organ.

The attribute "Duke of Salzburg" as well as 43 honorary citizenships of Salzburg municipalities (but not the city of Salzburg) testify to the appreciation by the fellow citizens of his time. After his death he was buried in the Salzburg municipal cemetery.

Since 1887 he was an honorary member of the Catholic student association KDStV Ferdinandea Prague .
