When the nationalities of the multiethnic Austrian Empire began to demand national self-determination „on their own territory“, they started the struggle for the national „Besitzstand“. The great nations like the Magyars, Czechs, Poles and Croats claimed for their historical „Staatsrecht“. The Austrian governments answered with the concept of national autonomy in national homogeneous districts on the basis of the existing historical „Kreise“. Palacky on the Krensierer Reichstag, Stadion in the Reichsverfassung of 1849, Ernest von Körber in the context of his deliberations to solve the „Bohemian question“ presented concepts for realization. When the governments of Stürgkh, Clam Martinic and Seidler/Hussarek declarated the „Kreisordnung“ for Bohemia, there was no chance for acceptance, because the question of the settlement of a Czechoslovak State was decided.
