The list of Bohemian high chancellors gives an overview of the Habsburg high chancellors in Bohemia ( German: böhmischen Oberstkanzler; Czech: Český Nejvyšší kancléř), between 1526 and 1749.
In 1526, the Kingdom of Bohemia became part of Habsburg Austria. King Ferdinand I established the Bohemian Court Chancellery (Böhmische Hofkanzlei) with the High Supreme Chancellor at its head. He was responsible for the administration of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown.
Initially, the Bohemian Court Chancellery has a certain autonomy, but this decreased over the years.
The seat of this Court Chancellery was initially the
Old royal palace in the
Prague Castle.
But after the
Bohemian Revolt was suppressed in the
Battle of the White Mountain in 1620, the Court Chancellery was transferred to Vienna and placed solely under the control of the Austrian King. In 1749 the Bohemian Court Chancellery was dissolved completely and organizationally merged with the Austrian Court Chancellery.
