List of Governors of Tyrol
The list of governors of Tyrol shows the officials from the 14th century until today.
This list deals with the people who were at the top of the state administration or government, i.e. H. in rank immediately after the ruler (sovereign) came, or were chief of the respective authority. The name and the respective task or authority changed: Burgrave (only for the sovereignty of Tyrol Castle, today Burgrave Office ), (provincial) captain with military, legal and sometimes also financial tasks, governor, governor , Bavarian court commissioners, governor (temporarily only as deputy of the regional chief), Gauleiter / Reichsstatthalter , high commissioner (after 1945) and governor (of the Republic of Austria).
The governor (LH) was originally a sovereign functionary, who only gradually gained tasks within the Tyrolean estates. The first governor as deputy to the sovereign was installed in 1314 and 1316 by Duke Heinrich of Carinthia . But it was only Ludwig the Brandenburger who created the state governorship as an institution around 1340. Under Rudolf IV , the "captain of our county of Tyrol, the land on the Adige and in the Inn Valley" lost the management of the financial administration. As early as the beginning of the 14th century, the office of captain on the Etsch can be proven, who later also took over the function of burgrave of Tyrol . The main tasks were the representation of the sovereign in his absence and the military leadership of the national defense. The seat remained in Bolzano for a long time , only from around 1720 it was Innsbruck , the deputy remained in Bolzano. After Tyrol finally came to Austria, the reforms were carried out analogously to all other countries of the Habsburg Empire. From 1774 to 1860 the governor or governor was also the governor. From 1860/61 the governor was chairman of the state parliament and at the same time a member and head of the Tyrolean state committee.
The list follows, with corrections, P. Justinian Ladurner, The Governors of Tyrol .

Bavarian occupation (1806 to 1814)
In the Peace of Pressburg of December 26, 1805, Austria a. a. cede the counties of Tyrol and Vorarlberg to the electorate and the later (from 1806) Kingdom of Bavaria . After the military occupation had begun at the beginning of December 1805, Bavaria officially took possession of these allocated areas in January 1806 and on February 11, 1806, the French commissioner Villemanzy (and not the previous governor of Tyrol, Count Johann Brandis) in Innsbruck. For the time being, the state gubernium continued to serve under the changed name of "royal Bavarian". The title of the “Court Commissioner” Carl Graf von Arco was sent after a few weeks and changed to “General State Commissioner” and a separate “General State Commissioner” was built around him, to which the actual provincial administration was subordinate.
With effect from April 26, 1806, Vorarlberg was separated from Tyrol and placed under the province of Swabia, and remained administratively separate from Tyrol until reunification with Austria. For financial matters, the General State Commissariat acted since July 26, 1806 as a so-called "Provincial Budget Curatel", a preliminary stage for the "Financial Directorate of the Inn, Eisack and Etsch Districts" which was in office from October 1, 1808.
As a result of the "Constitution for the Kingdom of Bavaria" issued by King Max Joseph on May 1st, 1808, the Innkreis , Eisackkreis and Etschkreis were created in Tyrol by a "Most Highest Ordinance" of June 21, 1808 . District capitals were Innsbruck, Bruneck and Trient. The political-administrative management of each district was taken over by a "General Commissioner" and the management of financial transactions by a "Finance Directorate". The General State Commissariat for the Province of Tyrol and the Gubernium in Innsbruck were dissolved. This new district constitution came into force on October 1, 1808. With that, Tyrol ceased to exist as an independent state and only the three districts in "Southern Bavaria" were spoken of.
After the suppression of the Tyrolean uprising of 1809 and the peace treaty of Schönbrunn of October 14, 1809, Tyrol was divided by order of Napoleon , Bavaria was allowed to keep North Tyrol, the Vinschgau and the upper Eisack and Pustertal valleys, the southern part of the country with Bozen, Buchenstein and Ampezzo and Toblach had to be ceded to the Kingdom of Italy , East Tyrol and Innichen came to the Kingdom of France, which added them to its " Illyrian Provinces ". As a result of these territorial losses for Bavaria, the remaining Tyrolean areas were added to the Innkreis on September 23, 1810 (entry into force November 2, 1810). The Zillertal, which was formerly Salzburg, was also added, as were the areas in the Werdenfels district court (Garmisch, Partenkirchen, Mittenwald).
After the victory over Napoleon and even before his abdication on April 12, 1814, Tyrol returned to Austria on June 3, 1814. On January 1st, 1813, the entire Italian part of Tyrol was taken by Austrian troops. At that time, too, it was decided to leave the found facilities until further notice. A "kk provis. General Commissioner of the Innkreis “resided in Innsbruck until the end of 1815.

Tyrol had new borders from 1918 (finally from July 16, 1920), and South Tyrol has been part of Italy ever since.
On October 30, 1918, the state of German Austria was founded as a republic. In connection with the peace treaty, he changed his name to the Republic of Austria on October 21, 1919 .
The state leadership and administration, which was divided in the monarchy, was abolished in Austria, which was organized federally from 1920 :
The term governor in its current meaning has existed since November 10, 1920. The Austrian Federal Constitution gives the governor a special position: as chairman of the state parliament elected state government and formal head of the state within the federal constitution - and at the same time as a federal body, in the indirect federal administration responsible to the respective federal minister and therefore sworn in by the federal president . Accordingly, he is the most important representative of state power at the state level.
The republic was transformed into the federal state of Austria (the corporate state) in 1934 . The state regulations remained largely unaffected, but no democratic elections were held until 1945.

Governor of Tyrol, Second Republic (since 1945)
Since the restoration of the republic in April / May 1945 one speaks of the Second Republic .
The borders of the Austrian federal states were also restored before the Nazi dictatorship and were each subordinate to a high commissioner of the Allied Control Commission for Austria . Tyrol (and Vorarlberg) belonged to the French occupation zone .
Initially installed as a provisional government by agreement between the SPÖ , ÖVP and KPÖ with the consent of the Soviet Union, the Renner cabinet prepared free elections for the fall of 1945 for the state parliaments as well, through which elected parliaments at federal and state level were established. The occupation ended in 1955.
In 1995 Austria joined the European Union , which means that there are now two levels in the hierarchy of the legal system above the state legislation: federal legislation and EU legislation, which must be observed when making state decisions.
