Der Josephinismus: Ein regional wenig erforschtes Phänomen?
Josephinism: A little investigated regional phenomenon?

Summary/Abstract: The policies of Joseph II were sometimes described as somewhat inconsistent, as indicated, for example, by the seizure of the religious funds belonging to the Catholic Church. However, as in the case of the French Enlightenment, it would be wrong to consider Josephinism as being from the very beginning fundamentally hostile to the church. On the contrary, a tendency to seek a compromise can be clearly seen in the background and its basic elements can be identified.
