Hungarian Court Chancellery
The Hungarian court chancellery (Latin Cancellaria Aulica Hungarica ) was the authority responsible for Hungary in the Habsburg Monarchy and the Austrian Empire between the 16th and 17th centuries and 1848 .
history
Since then, the authority was Ferdinand I. The administrative authority for Hungary, which was initially only partially ruled by the Habsburgs, raised a claim to the Hungarian crown . With the pushing back of the Ottomans , the area of responsibility of the law firm also grew.
The authority was initially located in Pressburg . At the time of Rudolf II , the office was located in Prague between 1576 and 1612, then again in Pressburg. The office had been based in Vienna since 1690. In 1714 she moved to Bankgasse 4–6. The building was built in 1692 by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and in 1747 came into the possession of Count Leopold Nádasdy, who was the head of the Hungarian court chancellery. Today the Hungarian embassy is located there.
In the early days she was closely associated with the Austrian court chancellery . From around 1690 onwards, it was increasingly given its own weight as a government organ for Hungary. She was the link between the ruler and his Hungarian sphere of influence. She informed the king about the conditions in the country and, conversely, carried out his instructions. She was in constant contact with the other authorities at the court. Their responsibility was essentially limited to domestic politics. The court chamber or the Hungarian chamber were responsible for financial matters. Foreign policy and matters of war were decided by the central court authorities. During the reign of Maria Theresa , the court chancellery was subordinate to the Directory in publicis et cameralibus . At the time of Joseph II it was merged with the court chancellery for Transylvania . Under Leopold II , the areas of responsibility were separated again.
