Governor of Hofburg Palace information


The offices of the governor of the Hofburg are located in the Swiss Wing (Schweizertrakt)

The Governor of Hofburg Palace is in charge of the Hofburg palace in Vienna. The office is under auspices of the Burghauptmannschaft.

The office exists since the Middle Ages and for most of the period and into the Baroque era the title was Burggrave. Starting in 1750 under the reign of Empress Maria Theresa the office became known as Burginspektor. It was changed again in 1850 under the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I to Burghauptmann, a title which also appeared however in the Middle Ages.[1]

Originally the office was entrusted to guard the castle and defend it in case of attack. The holder of the office and the administration was located in the castle as well. Apart from the administration and logistics of the palace, it also included the movable objects such as furniture.[2][3]
