[edit] Why "von" Schuschnigg?

Does anyone why Schuschnigg has a von in his name in the title of this page? Aristocratic titles and particles like this were abolished in Austria in 1918 1919. I am thus inclined to move the page to Kurt Schuschnigg. Martg76 18:41, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I do agree! FormerlyUnregisteredUser 10:36, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
When he became Chancellor, there were no titles anymore in Austria, so that's quite right. When in office, he was plain Kurt Schuschnigg. In Germany, nobility was abolished as well in 1919, but differently from Austria, the titles continued to be part of the name of the person until today. Kraxler 18:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Place of death

Is Mutters a suburb of Innsbruck? Or is either the beginning or the ending of the article wrong? Rlquall 01:14, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

A quick google search reveals that it is five kilometers from Innsbruck, located at the entrance of the Stubaital. Martg76 07:51, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Mutters is an independent township, I corrected this. Kraxler 18:09, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Schuschnigg.jpg

Image:Schuschnigg.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] About the "von"

A relative of mine was a student of the subject of this article at St. Louis University. She said he most certainly used the "von" as part of his name, and always addressed him by the name "von Schuschnigg". I've not checked old staff directories at SLU, but he may well have been listed that way. (My impression was always that his use of the hereditary title - if he did use it - was more of a personal/informal thing, related to his personal sense of "Austrian identity", possibly as a means of distancing himself from any "German -NAZI- identity" It may well not have been something he used in published works, etc. However, I've always heard "von Schuschnigg".) 4.245.82.75 (talk) 05:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC) Trinitite4.245.82.75 (talk) 05:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
