Case study: German elected deputies from Transylvania and Bohemia (1867–1918) Historický časopis, 2024, 72, 4, pp. 621-659, Bratislava. Abstract: The Habsburg Monarchy underwent significant political transformations in the second half of the long 19th century. These developments led to the decentralization and extension of the political power, particularly through the expansion of the suffrage for the parliaments, which catalyzed a shift toward more dynamic social mobility. This article examines how these changes reflected in the social background of the German elected deputies to the Austrian Imperial Council and the Hungarian parliament. The study of German elites in Bohemia and Transylvania is particularly compelling as it coincides with the erosion of the Germans’ centuries-old political privileges in both provinces during the period under study. Moreover, the changes in the suffrage also anticipated shifts in the social composition of the political representatives. The analysis of the social mobility of these political elites can shed some light over the social mechanics through which they accessed power, and reveal broader societal transformations. This analysis also showcases the influence the distinct political systems that evolved in the two halves of the Habsburg Monarchy after 1867 had over the social composition of the political elite. Thus, this article intends to compare the social background of the deputies, with a focus on their social origin, confessional, educational, professional, and social mobility compared to their fathers and fathers-in-laws, to observe what transformations came out of the political changes that took place during the analyzed period.
