| Title | Nationalism and Neudoerfl. An inquiry into the positions of the early Austrian social democratic workers movement towards the so-called national question with an emphasis on German nationalism, 1867-1874. |
| Summary | On April 6, 1874, the first decidedly internationalist workers’ organisation in a multinational state was founded in the Habsburg Empire. For early Austrian social democracy, the adoption of the Neudörfl programme opened a door to use that very internationalism as the driving force behind its own history. But it had to get to this door first, which had more lows than highs. In multiple, partly desperate struggles against the Habsburg state, liberalism, nationalists, capital and itself, a movement emerged that is often omitted from the history of Austrian social democracy today. This historiographic thesis attempts not only to give an insight into the German labour movement and its stances towards the national question within approximately the Gründerzeit (1867-1873) but also discusses it within the frame of the so-called “nationality conflicts” that allegedly preoccupied or even destroyed Austria-Hungary in the second half of the 19th century. |
