History

Swedish representation in various forms has existed in Vienna since the 17th century. [2] In 1651, three years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, the first Swedish legation in Vienna was opened. [3]

In April 1938, the King in Council decreed that the Swedish minister in Vienna should, for the time being, relocate his residence and the legation's chancery to Budapest, Hungary. [4] During the war, a Swedish consul was based in Vienna. It wasn't until 1946, when Jens Malling was appointed chargé d'affaires , that the Swedish legation was reopened. From 1951, a Swedish envoy was once again based in Vienna.

In August 1956, an agreement was reached between the Swedish and Austrian governments on the mutual elevation of the respective countries' legations to embassies. The diplomatic rank was thereafter changed to ambassador instead of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. Sven Allard, the envoy there, was appointed as Sweden's ambassador to Vienna. [5]

Footnotes

  1. ↑ The ambassador's residence is located at the same place as the chancery. [1]
  2. ↑ Lars von Engeström did not assume his post in Vienna in 1795 because the Austrian emperor refused to accept him as the new envoy. This rejection was influenced by accusations of "Jacobism" against Engeström, largely fueled by the envoys of Russia and England, who used their influence in Vienna to discredit him. Although these accusations were largely unfounded, they stemmed from Engeström's long-standing sympathies for French culture and his perceived opposition to England's policies. The incident highlights the geopolitical tensions and influence struggles of the time. [14]
  3. ↑ The position was combined with the role of Consul General there on 28 September 1906.
