Engelbert Dollfuss made a career in public life at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.

Engelbert Dollfuss was born in 1892. His recorded nationality is Austria. He was educated at University of Vienna.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
The record gives his occupations as politician, diplomat and lawyer.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
His work was formally recognised with the Military Merit Cross III. Class and Military Merit Cross.
