General Information

This view represents a condensed summary of a single case of marriage proceedings. The information varies according to both the court investigated and the type of proceedings.

With the exception of uncontested divorce here you find information on who the plaintiff and who the defendant was, what the claim interests were and any possible additional claims. If known, you can also find the names of the lawyers and the length of the proceedings from the time at which the complaint was initially filed until the final verdict was passed. The number under the heading "protocol entries" shows from how many protocol entries the information was taken.

If a report was made before the main proceedings were initiated, you find this information in a prefix to the main proceedings.

Here you find thematically ordered key words for the accusations made by the plaintiff and the defendant throughout the course of the proceedings. If the main proceedings segued into evidence proceedings this procedural step is identified separately.

You also find information on the outcome of the proceedings and on any possible amendments or conditions applied to verdicts.

If the married couple carried out at least one further proceeding this can be found at the end of the page in the tables of all proceedings carried out by the couple. The portrayed proceedings are highlighted in red. From this table you can directly branch off into the proceedings of other couples.

Signature

Under signatures you find the information on the sources which were used to investigate the portrayed proceedings.

DAW = Diocesan Archive Vienna
PP = Minutes of the Lower Officialat of the Diocese of Passau
WP = Minutes of the (Arch)diocese of Vienna
The first number represents the archive number of the book; the number after the underscore refers to either the page(s) or the folio sheet. An r (recto) after the number refers to the front side of a sheet, while a v (verso) after the number refers to the back side of a sheet.

The unbound rapulatura PP 189 is an exception to this rule. Here the sheets are halved and the sheets are given whole (i.e. 14) and half numbers (i.e. 14.5). In order to identify if the text is on the first or second sheet we added the letter a or b. For example, 14ar is the first side of the first sheet of 14, while 14bv is the back side of the second sheet of 14.

WStLA = Vienna City and Provincial Archive
The additional source information is made up of the archive signature, the carton, the file or dossier number, and the number of the year in which the proceedings began.
