List of finance ministers of Austria-Hungary (1867–1918)
After the Austro-Hungarian settlement of 1867, each of the two halves of the empire had its own government with a finance minister . From this dualism exception was only the Austro-Hungarian Ministry of the Imperial and Royal Household and of Foreign , the Austro-Hungarian Ministry of War (until 1911 the War Ministry), and - for the financing of foreign policy, army and navy - the Common Treasury, previously the Finance Ministry, whose leader without a proposal of a Prime Minister were determined by the emperor and king. The heads of the three joint ministries formed the Council of Ministers for Common Affairs with the Prime Ministers of both halves of the Reich .
Since Hungary ended the Real Union with Austria on October 31, 1918 , from November 1, 1918, there was no longer any de facto basis for a common Ministry of Finance. The Provisional National Assembly for German Austria decided on November 12, 1918 that the Austro-Hungarian ministries should be dissolved. The section head Paul Kuh-Chrobak, who was commissioned by the Kaiser on November 4, 1918 to temporarily head the ministry, was in charge of the liquidation of the ministry from November 12, 1918 under the supervision of the German-Austrian State Office of Finance.
