Kk Ministry of Public Health

Johann (Ivan) Horbaczewski acted as minister . On August 30, 1917, Emperor Karl I appointed Horbaczewski to the Seidler Ministry , the government headed by Ernst von Seidler , as kk minister without portfolio , in order to prepare the public health ministry in the western "half of the empire" of Austria-Hungary (initially the public health office ) .

On November 24, 1917, at the suggestion of the Seidler government, the emperor approved the establishment of the new ministry with the utmost handwriting . A detailed list of the competencies envisaged for the ministry was attached to the published handwriting.

In a short law sanctioned by the Kaiser on July 27, 1918, the Reichsrat granted the authorization to shift competencies for this purpose.

On July 30, 1918, Horbaczewski, now in the Hussarek Ministry , was appointed Minister of Public Health by the Emperor. On August 10, 1918, the official Wiener Zeitung reported that the ministry would begin operations on the same day. The paper was referring to an announcement by the entire ministry two days earlier .

The Ministry was divided into four sections, three medical and one legal. It had its seat in Vienna  1. , Gluckgasse  1. One of the four section heads , Ignaz Kaup , officiated from October 30, 1918 on in the new state of German Austria as State Secretary (= Minister) for Public Health.

After October 30, 1918, when Imperial Austria had disintegrated and the German-Austrian state government Renner I and Dr. med. Ignaz Kaup , previously head of section in the ministry, as State Secretary (Minister) (until autumn 1920 the State Secretaries had the function of the current ministers, the undersecretaries that of the current state secretaries ) for public health , Horbaczewski handed over his agendas to this successor. At the request of the monarch, the imperial ministers ( Ministry of Lammasch ) formally remained in office until November 11, 1918, when the emperor himself resigned.

In republican Austria the activity of the ministry continued until March 15, 1919 in the State Office (Ministry) for Public Health . From the Renner II state government onwards, the matter was handled in the State Office for Sovereign Welfare until October 22, 1920 under Ferdinand Hanusch . Kaup was entrusted with the agendas of his previous department until May 9, 1919, without having been elected as Undersecretary of State. On May 9, 1919, Julius Tandler was elected Undersecretary of State for Public Health and held this post, from November 10, 1920 as State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Social Welfare , in the State, then Federal Mayr I government until November 20, 1920. On November 10, 1920 In 1920 the Federal Constitutional Law , the constitutional charter of the republic, came into force.

Further perception of the department

As a result, the Ministry of Social Affairs was mostly responsible for the health department. In 1972 a separate health ministry was established again ( for health and environmental protection , 1987–1990 Federal Minister in the Federal Chancellery , then for health and consumer protection ); after changing combinations of competencies in later years, there has been a federal ministry exclusively for health since 2008 for the first time since 1918.
