biography

Gleispach studied law, worked as a concept intern in the Styrian governorate from 1833 to 1841, but withdrew to his estates in 1841. Already in the state parliament he was noticed by motions that opened up new ideas. On June 21, 1848, the electoral district of Feldbach elected him to the constituent Reichstag in Vienna.

Here Gleispach acted as secretary and distinguished himself as a champion of a constitutional government, but rejected all violent revolutionary efforts. The old liberal turned down the position of governor of Styria offered to him by Franz Graf Stadion . In the wake of the state legislature for Styria, however, Gleispach was appointed the first governor of the new era in 1861 and confirmed as such in 1867. Gleispach's autonomous provincial administration of Styria became the model in Austria. In 1870 Gleispach resigned as governor.

He was the cousin of Johann Nepomuk von Gleispach .
