About Alfons Huber (Source: wikipedia, NDB & ADB):
Alfons Huber (*14. October 1834 in Schlitters, Tyrol; † 23. November 1898 in Vienna) was an Austrian historian.
Life: Alfons Huber studied history and geography with Julius von Ficker at the University of Innsbruck from 1855 to 1859.[1] After his habilitation in 1860, he taught as a private lecturer and from 1863 as a full professor of general history in Innsbruck. In 1867 he became a member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, in 1891 secretary of the philosophical-historical class and in 1893 general secretary of the academy. From 1881 to 1887 he was also the director of the Tyrolean State Museum and dedicated himself to its structural and scientific design, which brought him high recognition. In 1887 Huber was appointed professor of general and Austrian history at the University of Vienna.
Work: Huber's main interest was Austrian history as well as the country's administrative and constitutional history. His main work “History of Austria”[2], consisting of five volumes, is still considered an important basis for factual research on the history of the various countries of Austria and their growth together up to 1648. Huber also made great contributions to source research.

Life: H's historical interest was awakened by his local village priest. At the age of 13 he began his high school studies in Hall im Taunus and completed his studies in Innsbruck in 1855. He then studied history and geography in Innsbruck (1859 Dr. phil.). This was crucial for his historical education J. Ficker's source-critical school, which enabled him to pursue an academic career as one of his best students. In 1860 he completed his habilitation in ancient and Austrian history in Innsbruck and immediately made a name for himself with his work on the Austrian freedom letters. This study was followed by others on the history of Tyrol in the 14th century. Century, about Duke Rudolf IV. and about the first Habsburgs in Austria. H. took over the editing of the Regesta Imperii of Charles IV from JF Böhmer's estate. In the meantime he had become a full professor of general history in 1863 and of Austrian history in Innsbruck in 1870. This long-term activity gave rise to his main work, which is still indispensable today, the “History of Austria”, the first five volumes of which date back to 1648. It is the most important account of the history of the Danube Monarchy, including Bohemia and Hungary, based on solid critical research. The emphasis is on political events, while cultural and intellectual history is given little consideration. H's personal attitude was that of moderate liberalism. He had taken a keen interest in the intellectual life of Innsbruck and had served as director of the Tyrolean State Museum “Ferdinandeum” when he was appointed to Vienna in 1887 as O. Lorenz's successor to take over the chair for general and Austrian history. In 1891 he became secretary of the philosophical-historical class of the Academy of Sciences in Vienna, and in 1893 general secretary of the academy. In addition to tireless work on his main work, H. was concerned with Austrian administrative and constitutional history and published one of the first compendiums of “Austrian Imperial History” for students.
Huber:Alfons H., historian, born on 14. October 1834 in Fügen in Zillerthale as the son of a farmer. The boy showed intellectual talent and excellent talents at an early age; His interest in history was awakened by Annegarn's book, which was popular in church circles at the time and which he found in the rectory. But it wasn't until 1847 that H. came to the Gymnasium in Hall, where he stayed until the top two classes, which he then completed in Innsbruck. In 1855 he moved into the university [496] of the state capital. Here he found in Julius Ficker, who was called to Austria in 1852 and who soon developed a very fruitful activity, the stimulating teacher, but also the loyal friend and supporter. On 2. December 1858, H. was approved to teach at the high school for history and geography, on December 7th. He received his doctorate in philosophy in February 1859. In October of this year, on the basis of the treatises he submitted on the Hellenic state system and on the origins of the Austrian letters of freedom, his habilitation in general history was approved, which was later limited to teaching qualifications for ancient and Austrian history. The second treatise, which was included in the proceedings of the Vienna Academy in 1860, already shows the field of work that H. certainly entered under Ficker's leadership and to which he remained faithful to the end of his life with the greatest success, the penetrating research of the Austrian Story. This was followed by investigations into the “forest towns of Uri, Schwyz, Unterwalden until the firm establishment of their confederation” (Innsbruck 1861). The young lecturer's work had already attracted the attention of the learned world and he was already being considered for the chair of Austrian history at the University of Lemberg when, on January 2, On February 21, 1863, Ficker's transfer to the law faculty approved a place for him at his beloved home university and he was admitted on February 21st. September 1863 was appointed full professor of history in Innsbruck.
The year in which he received a permanent, secure position also became of great importance for his scientific work. When Johann Friedrich Böhmer, who had followed the young scholar's work with interest from the beginning and enabled him to make study trips to Munich and Vienna, on January 22nd After he died in October 1863, Ficker, along with other scholars, took over the care of his scientific estate. He entrusted his outstanding student with the editing of the fourth volume of the Fontes rerum Germanicarum, which appeared in 1868, and with the editing of the Regesten of Emperor Charles IV, which H. completed in an exemplary manner during the years 1874–1877. A supplementary booklet appeared in 1889.
Before completing these larger works, which required him to study the history of the empire during the 14th century. To mark the 18th century, H. published a “History of the Unification of Tyrol with Austria” in 1864 on the occasion of the celebration of Tyrol's 500 years of affiliation to Habsburg rule, which was followed in the following year by the “History of Duke Rudolf IV.” During the years 1864–1868 he was also heavily involved in the editing of the Archives of History and Antiquity of Tyrol. In 1866, the volume he edited appeared in the “Oesterreichische Geschichte für das Volk” (Austrian History for the People), in which he wrote about the history of the first Habsburg princes from Albrecht I to Rudolf IV. treated.
On the 22nd On December 20, 1870, at his request, which was approved by the faculty, a change in his teaching assignment took place, which was entirely in line with his work direction, in that he replaced the one on December 20th. Professor Glax was appointed professor of Austrian history when he retired in August. First he published a number of smaller works covering the entire area of Austrian history from the times of Rudolf von Habsburg to the end of the 18th century. century. H. was faced with the real task of his life, to which he would henceforth dedicate his unusual amount of work, through Giesebrecht's request to take over the history of Austria for the "History of the European States" which he was directing. In his strictly methodical manner, through a series of[WS 1] individual investigations, he prepared the basis on which the work could stand. Five volumes were published between 1885 and 1896, reaching up to 1648. The truly scientific character, which is expressed in the critical use of sources and literature, in the striving for knowledge and determination of the truth that shines through on every page, and the detailed consideration of Bohemian and Hungarian history, are the great advantages of the work again and again with renewed thanks, they help with the undeniable shortcomings of the representation, which are particularly noticeable in periods of time that are to be judged from higher than purely political points of view, and in the portrayal of personalities that rise above the usual level make over fundamental errors, such as the excessive emphasis on the artificial, mechanical moment in the formation of the imperial state, and the associated neglect of the natural prerequisites for it. In any case, the work represents an important phase in the development of Austrian historiography and research; as it summarizes and critically processes the results of the work done so far, it forms the basis and starting point for the continuation of scientific activity.
In addition to elaborating on the history of Austria and his teaching activities, H. still found time to take a keen interest in the affairs of the university, which elected him rector for the years 1876 and 1883, and to take care of the affairs of the Museum Ferdinandeum, which he had been responsible for since 1858 as a member and whose contemporary reorganization he carried out as a board member during the years 1881–87.
At 16. In June 1887 he was appointed full professor of general and Austrian history at the University of Vienna, to which he had been appointed to replace Ottokar Lorenz, and with this he entered a much wider and richer sphere of influence. Here, too, he proved himself excellently and soon earned the trust of the faculty, who elected him dean in 1896. He also took on new literary tasks. The change in the legal study regulations prompted him to write a handbook of Austrian imperial history (1895, 2. ed. 1901), in which he was able to work out the guidelines for the development of the imperial state more clearly than in the main work and continue the presentation up to the present. In carrying out the will of a former Innsbruck colleague, he published a “History of the Austrian State Administration” (2 vols., 1896 and 1898) derived from the records of the appeal court councilor Ignaz Beidtel. But he grew very closely into the work of the kais. Academy of Sciences, which made him secretary of the philos.-histor in 1891. Classe, who was appointed general secretary two years later, and whose history he published in 1897. To this end, he took over the chairmanship of the committee that had been entrusted with producing a history of the University of Vienna from 1848 to 1898 on the occasion of the emperor's fiftieth anniversary.
The tireless scientific activity, the closed, secure nature of his personality had given him a wide circle of friends, an impressive group of talented and grateful students, and the scientific world had every right to bestow upon him the honors which it has to bestow. The Vienna Academy had already elected him as a corresponding member in 1867, and five years later as a real member, the Bavarian Academy of Sciences had elected him as a foreign member in 1878, and he was a member of the Bohemian and Hungarian academies in the same capacity. During the years 1887–1890 he was a member of the Central Directorate of the Monumenta Germaniae, in 1895 he was appointed to the Austrian Archive Council, the following year to the historical commission at the Bavarian Academy, and after Arneth's death in 1897 he was appointed chairman of the Commission was appointed to publish sources on the modern history of Austria. In 1893 he chaired the first German Historians' Day. On the other hand, he was denied any honor from the state for a long time; it was not until 1897 that he was awarded the title of Hofrath.
While he tried to complete what he had started with tenacious perseverance and was able to cope with new tasks that came to him with undiminished energy, fate took him away. He had quickly recovered from an attack of illness that affected him in 1897, when on the 23rd he was surprised. November 1898 he died on the way home from university to his apartment.
