!!!Nationalgarde

National Guard, established by revolutionaries at the beginning of the 
revolution on February 14, 1848 in Vienna and later also in all larger 
municipalities. Its first commander was Field Marshall Lieutenant 
J. E. Count  Hoyos-Sprinzenstein, who was followed by C. W.  
Messenhauser on October 16, 1848. Rivalries existed with the Military 
Civic Guards. In the same year the National Guard was dissolved 
provisionally, in 1851 completely.
