Summary/Abstract: This paper is a translated part of the presentation presented in the framework of the inter-industry symposium, "Problems of transfer of rights in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and the Slovak Republic", which took place in Prague on the 6th-7th October 1994. The paper has been edited. The document discusses the legal transitions and adaptations in Austria's constitutional and legal framework from the early 20th century to the post-World War II era. It highlights the establishment of the First Republic in 1918, the constitutional changes in 1920, and the impact of the 1934 authoritarian constitution. The document also covers the legal implications of Austria's annexation by Nazi Germany in 1938 and the subsequent restoration of Austrian sovereignty in 1945. It emphasizes the continuity and discontinuity in legal norms and the challenges of integrating various legal systems. The text provides detailed examples of legal transitions, including the incorporation of Burgenland and the adjustments made during the Second Republic. The focus is on the legal mechanisms used to ensure stability and continuity in Austria's legal order despite political upheavals.
