Ignaz Seipel : Der Prälat ohne Milde führte den Schilling ein
Seipel erreichte 1922 in Genf die Gewährung der Völkerbundanleihe in der Höhe von 650 Millionen Goldkronen, die die Beendigung der Nachkriegsinflation durch Einführung der Schillingwährung ermöglichte.
In seiner zweiten Amtszeit forcierte Seipel seinen gegen die österreichische Sozialdemokratie gerichteten innenpolitischen Kurs, der sich nach der Julirevolte 1927 noch verstärkte.
Europe East and West: the Seipel Line (5013 words)
Ignaz Seipel (1876-1932) was an Austrian churchman, political scientist and statesman who in the 1920s served two terms as chancellor of the newly formed Austrian republic.
I have referred to the Seipel Line – and to the east-west dichotomy that it represents – in two previous essays, dealing with the consequences of the “wrong” concept of nation on either side of the line.
But in neither essay do I actually demarcate the line geographically, and Seipel himself doesn’t seem to have done that either, except that he considered the German nation (to which he regarded himself and all German-speaking Austrians as belonging) to be squarely on the eastern side of the line.
