Ignaz Seipel

Ignaz Seipel

Ignaz Seipel (19 July 1876, Vienna - 2 August 1932, Pernitz) was an Austrian politician who served as Chancellor during the 1920s.

Ordained a Catholic priest, he gained his doctorade in theology in 1903 at the University of Vienna. He was a member of the Christian Social Party, the party established by Vienna mayor Karl Lueger and served as cabinet secretary in the Austro-Hungarian government during World War I.

After the war he established a new Christian Social Party, now operating - the empire having been lost - in Austria alone. He served as Austrian Chancellor from 1922 until 1924 and again between 1926 and 1929. His main policy was the encouragement of cooperation between wealthy industrialists and the paramilitary units of the Heimwehr. This led to an increase in street violence, culminating in the so-called Massacre of July 15, 1927.

In the field of external affairs, he signed the League of Nations Protocol for the reconstruction of Austria (4 October 1922) and secured an agreement with the government of Italy for the co-ordination of foreign policy between the two countries.
