Karl von Stürgkh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karl Graf Stürgkh (or Count Karl von Sturgkh) (October 30, 1859 - October 21, 1916) was an Austrian political figure during the late years of the Austria-Hungarian monarchy.
In 1891 he became a member of the Reichsrat, the Austrian parliament. From 1909 until 1911 he served as Minister of Education.
He served as Prime Minister of Austria from 1911 and ruled the country autocratically during World War I, when the Reichsrat was not convened any more. He served as Prime Minister until he was assassinated by the socialist politician Friedrich Adler on October 21, 1916.
[edit] Notes
- Note regarding personal names: Graf is a title, translated as Count, not a first or middle name. The female form is Gräfin.
