Abstracts

EN

The paper aims to commemorate the life of Prince Joseph Wenzel of Liechtenstein(1696–1772), a significant figure whose renown lies not only within the field of international diplomacy, but first and foremost in the military. The prince was a leading Habsburg diplomat, he worked e.g. as an ambassador in Paris and later in Berlin. He primarily bound his career to the milieu of the Habsburg army, in whose ranks he personally participated in European power struggles of the first half of the 18th century. He gained merit by a fundamental reform of the Habsburg artillery, which was to a large extent financed from his own funds.
