Everything about Johann Schober totally explained
Johann Schober (born
Perg November 14,
1874-died
Baden bei Wien August 19,
1932) was an
Austrian police officer who served three times as
Chancellor of Austria (his initial term being interrupted by two days in office for
Walter Breisky).
Schober served with the
Austrian police becoming President in 1918 immediately prior to the fall of the
Habsburg Monarchy. Schober maintained loyalty to Austria after the break up of
Austria-Hungary but also ensured a safe passage for the royal family out of the country, winning praise for his moderation and his role in a smooth transfer of power into the bargain.
Largely considered a safe pair of hands by the
Allies, he was chosen to head a coalition government in 1921 with the support of the
Christian Social Party and the
Pan-Germans. Combining his head of government role with that of
Foreign Minister of Austria, he concluded the Treaty of Lány with
Czechoslovakia, although this brought about the downfall of his government as the Pan-Germans saw agreements with Czechoslovakia as a bar to a future union with
Germany.
With his governing coalition ended Schober returned to his role as President of police, although his reputation for moderation was hit hard in July 1927 when he was responsible for the deaths of almost 100 labour protestors in
Vienna.
Schober returned as Chancellor-Foreign Minister from September 1929 to September 1930 and then
Vice-Chancellor-Foreign Minister from December 1930 to January 1932, successively serving
Carl Vaugoin,
Otto Ender and
Karl Buresch. In March 1931 he agreed a
Customs union with Germany, although pressure from
France and Czechoslovakia saw the plan vetoed.
