Over the centuries the castle has been expanded and been given various new purposes. Emperor Friedrich III. had the castle fundamentally rebuilt, largely giving it its current appearance. Emperor Maximilian I was born and baptized in the castle in Wiener Neustadt and spent his youth here. From here the Holy Roman Empire was expanded. The empire grew so large that “the sun never set“.

  • On the Frontier Between Eastern and Western Yiddish: Sources from Burgenland
    European Journal of Jewish Studies 11 (2017) 130–147 brill.com/ejjs On the Frontier between Eastern and Western Yiddish: Sources from Burgenland Lea Schäfer* Abstract Burgenland, the smallest state of current Austria, located on the border with Hungary, once had seven vibrant Jewish communities under the protection of the Hungarian Eszterházy family. There is next to nothing known about the Yiddish variety spoken in these communities. This article brings together every single piece of evidence of this language to get an impression of its structure. This article shows that Yiddish from Burgenland can be integrated into the continuum between Eastern and Western Yiddish and is part of a gradual transition zone between these two main varieties.

  • How Lower Austria Is Boosting Cross-Border Collaboration in Health
    The Healthacross Initiative: How Lower Austria is Boosting Cross-border Collaboration in Health The Healthacross Initiative: How Lower Austria is Boosting Cross-border Collaboration in Health Abstract Cross-border collaboration in the field of health care can involve a transfer, movement or exchange of individuals, services or resources. It can comprise the sharing of health services, providers and expertise, as well as the provision of disease prevention, health promotion, curative and rehabilitative health services. This report tells the story of the cross-border collaboration in the field of health between Lower Austria and Czechia, and the beginning of collaboration with Slovakia. It focuses on the gradual provision of outpatient care and the exchange of medical expertise taking place in three border regions; documents the first large- scale effort to develop cross-border cooperation on health care between a long-standing and new European Union Member States; and provides information on how and why cross-border care started, mechanisms used to put it in place, key stakeholders and the lessons learned, including challenges and enabling factors.

  • Sub-National Constitutionalism in Austria: a Historical Institutionalist Perspective by Ferdinand Karlhofer
    ISSN: 2036-5438 Sub-national Constitutionalism in Austria: a Historical Institutionalist Perspective by Ferdinand Karlhofer Perspectives on Federalism, Vol. 7, issue 1, 2015 Except where otherwise noted content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons 2.5 Italy License E - 57 Abstract Austria’s federal system is determined by an apparent contrast between formal and real constitution having its roots in foundational defects shaping the system to the present day. As for the formal dimension, Austria has a rather uneven balance with regard to power- sharing. No wonder that, given the structural bias between central state and substates, informal forces are at work in order to make up for the shortcomings of the federal architecture. In this context, sub-national constitutionalism at first sight appears to be marginal. Astoundingly, though, in recent time a lot of constitutional changes and amendments, quite possibly paving the way for a sustainable redesign of the federation as a whole have taken place. The article starts with a historical outline of the Austrian federation’s origins. In chapter 2, the interplay of formal and informal rules and practices is discussed. Chapter 3 deals with scope, contents and dynamics of sub-national constitutionalism under the given framework. The article concludes with assessing the efficacy of subconstitutional politics in relation to the capacities of the federal constitution. Key-words Federalism, Subnational constitutionalism, Austria, Historical institutionalism Except where otherwise noted content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons 2.5 Italy License E - 58 Given that federalism is essentially about the distribution of authority between a central government and state governments (Bednar 2011: 270), every two-tiered political system is defined through a “super-constitution” that regulates overlapping control of a single population by a superior state and a group of subordinate states.
