Barracks transaction

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a barracks transaction , experts and historians refer to the relocation of barracks of the Austro-Hungarian Joint Army from central locations on the outskirts of the city in the kk Vienna from 1890 to around 1912 .

The growth of the imperial and royal capital and residence with the incorporation of more than 40 suburbs on January 1, 1892 made it seem advisable to move barracks from cramped inner-city locations to loosely built-up outskirts. The Imperial and Royal Finance Minister, at that time Emil Steinbach in the cabinet of the Imperial and Royal Prime Minister Count Eduard Taaffe , was authorized by a law signed by Emperor Franz Joseph I on June 10, 1891 to sell various barracks and other properties and to use the proceeds of the Imperial and Royal Army Administration for “replacement” (New barracks) available. Additional properties were defined in later authorizations. As a result, the following areas, among others, were cleared from 1900, a total of well over 400,000 m², largely centrally located building land:

Other barracks close to the center, such as the Rennweger barracks in the 3rd district, the collegiate barracks in the 7th district and the Rossauer barracks in the 9th district, were either retained or rebuilt, like the Moroccan barracks in the 3rd district. In addition to new buildings for the army, part of the construction costs of the new Austro-Hungarian War Ministry , completed in 1913, were financed from the proceeds of the sale of the property .
