Abstract
The article focuses on the Austrian reaction to Fischer’s Griff nach der Weltmacht in the media and in academia. Although Vienna was host to the International Congress of Historical Sciences in 1965, one of the most prominent events in the unfolding of the Fischer controversy, Austrian historians by and large ignored the questions raised by Fischer. That Germany, not the Habsburg monarchy took centre stage in the new consensus on the outbreak of the First World War, slowly emerging in German historiography, was rather convenient. Only Fritz Fellner, an outsider to Austria's conservative scholarly community, asked for further analysis of Austria-Hungary’s role in 1914.
