Count Karl Sigmund von Hohenwart Politician

Count Karl Sigmund von Hohenwart (German: Karl Graf von Hohenwart) (February 12, 1824, Vienna – April 26, 1899) was an Austrian politician who served as Minister-President of Austria in 1871. Hohenwart’s government attempted to implement a Federalist agreement between Bohemia and the governing Austro-Hungarian Empire. This attempt to conciliate the Bohemian Czechs caused massive criticism, and led to the fall of the Hohenwart government only months after it assumed office.
