Schattendorfer Prozess#
Schattendorf trial, jury trial held before a Vienna court on July 5-14, 1927. Three members of the Frontkaempfervereinigung (veterans´ association) were on trial as the result of a clash between the Frontkaempfervereinigung and Schutzbund paramilitary organisation on January 30, 1927 in Schattendorf (Burgenland), where gunshots fatally wounded a man and a child. The court found the defendants not guilty, triggering the July Revolt.
