Treaty of Lana
Treaty of Lana is the name of an agreement between Czechoslovakia and Austria that was agreed on December 16, 1921 at Lana Castle near Prague and entered into force on March 15, 1922. The two successor states of Austria-Hungary , founded in 1918, guaranteed each other their borders in this treaty and agreed on the neutrality of the other partner in disputes between a partner and a third party . Economic agreements on trade and traffic were also discussed in the context, including a loan from Czechoslovakia to Austria and food and coal supplies. This confirms an agreement that the Czechoslovak Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Edvard Beneš had already made with State Chancellor Karl Renner in January 1920 .
Now this has been sealed again with the Austrian Chancellor Johann Schober , benevolently accompanied by the two heads of state Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk and Michael Hainisch , who had also traveled to Prague for this purpose. This triggered a government crisis in Austria. Leopold Waber , the only Greater German minister in the Schober I federal government , rejected the treaty as a matter of principle, as did his parliamentary faction in the interests of the self-determination of those later named Sudeten Germans , and left the cabinet in early 1922.
In this context, Adolf Hitler appeared on December 28, 1921 at a protest meeting in the Old Town Hall in Vienna.
