Originally founded in 1848 as the Ministry for Commerce and Public Works (Ministerium für Handel und öffentliche Arbeiten), the institution's formal name of exact portfolio have undergone numerous changes over the years. As of 2018, the ministry is officially called the Ministry of Digital and Economic Affairs (Ministerium für Digitalisierung und Wirtschaftsstandort or BMDW).[1]

History edit

The Ministry of Economy was first established in the aftermath of the Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire as the Ministry for Commerce and Public Works (Ministerium für Handel und öffentliche Arbeiten). Over the course of the next several decades, its list of responsibilities gradually grew longer; its name changed several time to reflect the new reality. In 1918, following the collapse of the Austrian Empire in the final days of World War I, the ministry was briefly divided into a commerce department (Staatsamt für Gewerbe, Industrie und Handel) and a reconstruction department (Staatsamt für Kriegs- und Übergangswirtschaft). The two halves were reunited within the year. The Ministry went back to gradually acquiring new areas of responsibility and occasionally changing its name.

In 1967, the Ministry was split into a Ministry of Commerce and Industry (Ministerium für Handel, Gewerbe und Industrie) and a Ministry of Civil Engineering (Ministerium für Bauten und Technik); the latter assumed responsibility for managing public real estate and structures, roadworks, waterways, hydraulic engineering, water supply, sewerage, the promotion of housing construction, and engineering standardization, among other things. The split was undone in 1987.

In 2000, the Schüssel cabinet merged the Ministry of Economy with the Ministry of Labor. Road construction and maintenance and a number of minor matters were assigned to the Ministry of Traffic; waterways and hydraulic engineering went to the Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry of Environment took over family affairs, becoming the Ministry of Social Affairs in the process. The merger was undone in 2008. The Ministry's current name and portfolio dates to 2018.
