HRABĚ KIELMANSEGG A JEHO „ÚČELOVÉ TISKY“
COUNT KIELMANSEGG AND HIS “PURPOSE“ PRESS

Summary/Abstract: Erich Count Kielmansegg represents a remarkable personality that headed the Lower Austria Governor’s Office at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. By his work, he left an important trace in the history of administration, not only in Lower Austria, but also in other crown lands of the former Austria-Hungary. He belonged to the “authors” of the so-called Lower-Austrian or Kielmansegg system. For propagation of his ideas he used various forms of presentation. The paper focuses on two publications that reflected his efforts to get his new principles of administrative process known to general public. While the first contains Kielmansegg’s lectures given for the representatives of state authorities in the framework of the Information Course (that took place in October 1906 in Vienna), the other records the content of Governor’s speech in the Lower Austrian State Diet in 1904. A similar topic was presented to two different groups by two different ways, which also corresponds to the choice of language means that are pointed out in the paper.
