The Minister-President of Austria was the head of government of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1821, when the office of a State Chancellor was created by Emperor Francis for Prince Klemens Wenzel von Metternich, until the abolition of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in November 1918. The office of an Austrian Minister-President comparable to that of a Prime Minister of an executive monarchy was officially established in the course of the Revolutions of 1848.
