At the core of the work of the research unit ‘History of the Habsburg Monarchy’ is the question of the cohesive forces that enabled this complex of lands to exist over centuries.

This research unit deals with the development and application of digital methods in historical scholarship.

The Balkan region and Austria have been intricately intertwined for centuries. Today, Vienna remains an important cultural, social and economic reference point for the societies of the region.

The focus of the work is on research projects that deal with the question of visual culture in the representation of the House of Habsburg using various methodological approaches, primarily based on media history.
