Welcome to HABSBURG, a member of the H-Net Humanities & Social Sciences Online family of networks sponsored by the Michigan State University. HABSBURG is a daily Internet discussion forum dedicated to the history and culture of the Habsburg Monarchy, its successor states, and their peoples from 1500 to the present. The primary purpose for HABSBURG is to enable scholars in history and related disciplines to communicate current research and research interests, stimulate discussion of approaches, methods and tools of analysis and circulate information on new articles, books, jobs/grants and resources. All languages are welcome.
Founded in October 1991, HABSBURG was the first Internet discussion group dedicated to an historical theme. We are affiliated with the Center for Austrian Studies, the Society for Austrian and Habsburg History, the Czechoslovak Studies Association, and the Hungarian Studies Association. We welcome any new members and encourage participation in HABSBURG activities. If you have any question or wish to become more involved, please get in touch with the editorial team.

I have been spending a fair amount of time looking at various Schematismus for Galicia and Lodomeria for before 1848, trying to make sense of how the Galician administration functioned. Within each Kreis there are a number of smaller admistrative offices many of which list a Kammeralwundarzt (medic) and a Hebamme (midwife). Most of the names seem not to be local, nor do they have names that one might associate with Jews.
Von 10. bis 12. Oktober 2018 findet an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München die Interdisziplinäre Konferenz "Mehrsprachigkeit in der Donaumonarchie (1848–1918). Wissen – Herrschaft – Soziale Praxis" statt.
Die interdisziplinär und international angelegte Tagung nähert sich der Thematik mit Fragestellungen zu Sprachpolitik und Herrschaft, Mehrsprachigkeit und Alltagswelt, Mehrsprachigkeit in literarischen Texten, den Wechselwirkungen mit der Literatur- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte und deren langfristigen Auswirkungen.
