Taaffe, Eduard Graf#

b. Vienna, Feb. 24, 1833, d. Nalžovy, Czech Republic (then Ellischau), Nov. 29, 1895, statesman, conservative social reformer; provincial governor of Salzburg, Upper Austria and Tirol, 1867 and 1870/71 interior minister, 1867-1870 minister of defence and public security, 1869/70 and 1879-1893 prime minister and interior minister. Supported by Austrian, Czech and Polish conservatives, tried to mediate between the various ethnic groups; 1882 lowered the limit of property qualification for elections from 10 to 5 guilders; created the basis for efficient social legislation (maximum working hours, Sunday observance, accident and health insurance). Encountered fierce opposition by radical Nationalist parties and therefore did not succeed in introducing (almost) universal suffrage.
