Editing Chancellor of Austria (section)

=== Austrian Empire ===
With the consequent dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire and founding of the [[Austrian Empire]], Francis II abdicated the former Imperial Throne, but remained Emperor Francis I of Austria in 1806. He had replaced Cobenzl with [[Johann Philipp Stadion, Count von Warthausen]] (1805–1809) the previous year, but his career was in turn cut short in 1809 following yet another Austrian defeat by [[Napoleon]] at the [[Battle of Wagram]] and subsequent humiliation at the [[Treaty of Schönbrunn]]. Prince [[Klemens von Metternich]] was appointed by Francis I to the positions of {{lang|de|Hofkanzler}} and {{lang|de|Staatskanzler}} (1821–1848). However, there is some opinion that the Chancellor title was not used between Prince Kaunitz-Rietberg's resignation in 1792 and 1821.<ref>[http://www.kaisergruft.at/kaisergruft/metternich.htm Kaisergruft: Metternich] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120115013942/http://www.kaisergruft.at/kaisergruft/metternich.htm |date=15 January 2012 }}</ref> 
As the [[Concert of Europe|Metternich system]] had become a synonym for his reactionary politics, the title of a State Chancellor was abolished upon the [[revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire|1848 revolutions]]. The position became that of a [[List of Ministers-President of Austria|Minister-President of Austria]], equivalent to Prime Minister, with the exception of [[Count Friedrich Ferdinand von Beust]] (1867–1871)<ref name=cmh1911xiii/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.austria-lexikon.at/ebook/wbin/ambrosius.html#thumbview=2p&book=Lexika/Oesterreich_Lexikon_Band1&pageid=00000168&layer=default1&pagenum=170 |title=Austria Forum Web Books Viewer |access-date=23 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923180614/http://www.austria-lexikon.at/ebook/wbin/ambrosius.html#thumbview=2p&book=Lexika/Oesterreich_Lexikon_Band1&pageid=00000168&layer=default1&pagenum=170 |archive-date=23 September 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
the title only re-emerging at the birth of [[Republic of German Austria|German Austria]] after [[World War I]] in 1918, when [[Karl Renner]] was appointed {{lang|de|Staatskanzler}}. With the enactment of the [[Constitution of Austria]] on 10 November 1920, the actual term {{lang|de|Bundeskanzler}} was implemented as head of the executive branch of the [[First Republic of Austria|First Austrian Republic]].{{citation needed|date=August 2021}}
