List of Austrian envoys in Saxony
This is a list of the Austrian envoys in the Electorate of Saxony (until 1806) and the Kingdom of Saxony (until 1918). The last official seat of the Austrian embassy in Dresden was Wiener Strasse 3.
The officials held the office of "extraordinary envoy and authorized minister at the royal Saxon court in Dresden and the grand ducal and ducal Saxon courts , the ducal court of Anhalt and the princely Schwarzburg and Reuss houses" - a function that ultimately contrasted with the imposingness of theirs Titulature was almost a sinecure , since the Austro-Hungarian embassy in Dresden served almost exclusively for protocol affairs in the dealings of the Austrian and Saxon ruling houses and had no political functions whatsoever (since 1871 these of course went through the Austro-Hungarian embassy to the German Empire in Berlin ) .
