State government Sever

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The state government of Sever was elected on May 20, 1919 by the Lower Austrian state parliament, elected on May 4, 1919 , and held office until November 10, 1920. During this period, Vienna was still part of the state of Lower Austria; the Landtag therefore had a majority of Viennese MPs and a Social Democratic majority.

On November 10, 1920, the Republican Federal Constitution came into force. It divided the Lower Austrian Landtag into two curiae, Vienna and Lower Austria-Land. The two curiae functioned independently of one another as the state parliaments of their newly defined federal states. a. to adopt their state constitutions (here the city of Vienna as a federal state, there the state around Vienna) (the Vienna constitution was adopted on November 10 and came into force on November 18, 1920).

According to the federal constitution, the joint state parliament could have passed those agendas that the two new federal states wanted to continue to decide together; but nothing of the kind was decided. Instead of a state government for both parties, as had been the state government of Sever, the federal constitution only provided for a joint administrative commission that ran the business until the end of 1921 the ownership separation (see Separation Act ) was completed.

Sever's successors as governors were Johann Mayer as the first governor of Lower Austria without Vienna and Mayor Jakob Reumann as governor of Vienna from November 10, 1920 .
