Text of Note

This article aims at comparing the endowments founded during the 18th century by wealthy members of the Greek Orthodox and Protestant (Lutheran, Calvinist) communities in Vienna. Charitable endowments in fact offer a paramount example of the entanglement of economic, confessional and migration issues, which played an important role in the non-Catholic communities in the Habsburg capital before and after the Proclamation of Toleration in 1781. The analysis of relevant sources gives the impression that these endowments had a massive (material as well as symbolic) importance for these communities and shaped their relationship to a political regime that, even while performing enlightened reforms in the fields of culture and confession, was strengthening its control over the sector of charity.
