Austrian Grand Staff

Origin and History
Austria had rather unusual rank designations for general officers. The following table lists these ranks in descending order with their abbreviation and their equivalent in other contemporary armies.
| Rank | Abbreviation | Equivalent rank in other armies | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| General-Lieutenant | Gen-Lieut | Prince Charles Alexander of Lorraine (aka Lothringen) – brother of Emperor Franz and thus brother-in-law to Maria Theresia - was the only holder of this rank during the timeframe of the Seven Years' War. Before him Prince Eugène de Savoie and Charles' brother Franz himself had been the last General-Lieutenants. | |
| Feldmarshall | FM | Field-marshal | normally the highest rank of the Habsburg military authority, he usually commanded an entire army with disposition over the Kriegs-Cassa and nominal powers to replace unsatisfactory generals; he received political and military guidance directly from Vienna |
| Feldzeugmeister | FZM | General (infantry) | usually commanded an entire wing or line or even lead a whole army in his own right; the term was an antique anomaly which derived from Zeug, or ordnance |
| General der Cavallerie | GdC | General (cavalry) | the distinction with FZM became quite vague when a GdC was put in charge of mixed commands |
| Feldmarshall Lieutenant | FML | Lieutenant-general | usually commanded a division or Departement of two or more brigades |
| General Feldwachtmeister | GFWM | Major-general | usually commanded a brigade consisting of two or more regiments |

Functions listed are by the rank achieved during the Seven Years' War with the dates of promotions. The last entry is the topmost rank achieved, if different from the one achieved in the Seven Years' War. In some case, the rank achieved before 1756 was also indicated. The ranks achieved in the Reichsarmee are also indicated. Orthography of names still widely varied during the XVIIIth century so its possible that the reader has encountered different spelling in various sources. |

Service during the War
Being a General in the Austrian Army was a potentially dangerous position, regardless of the Rank. This is a list of the Generals Killed in Action during the Seven Years War:
FM Browne, Maximilian Ulysses, (Prague 1757)
GFWM Browne, Joseph Ulysses, (Hochkirch 1758)
GdC Lucchesi Palli d´Averna, Giuseppe, (Leuthen 1757)
FML Lützow, Gustav Adolf, (Kolin 1757)
GFWM Otterwolf v. Niederstraeten, Franz Leopold, (Leuthen 1757)
GFWM Perroni, Ludwig, (Prague 1757)
FML Porporati, August, (Reichenberg 1757)
FML Radicati, Julius Cäsar, (Lobositz 1756)
GFWM Valentiani, Franz Andreas, (Hochkirch 1758)
GFWM Walthör v. Waldenau, Ignaz, (Torgau 1760)
GFWM Wrbna u. Freudenthal, Karl Wenzel Anton, (Breslau 1757)
The list of wounded in action is endless: on the top of such a list there is the FM Daun, wounded at Torgau, 1760.
Uniform
The Austrian Army of the Prinz Eugen, who died in 1736, was commanded by gentlemen who were dressed as they wished. The red colour was often displayed on richly gold embroidered coats but also grey and brown were common. Often Austrian generals wore the uniform of the regiment for which they were Inhaber (proprietor). For example, the day of Prinz Eugen's funeral, on April 23 1736, the body of the greatest Imperial general was buried wearing a scarlet coat faced with black velvet and laced gold.
This was the uniform of the Colonel Proprietor of the Prinz Savoyen Dragoons. Only on 1748 did the military reform commission decide that the uniform of generals needed to be standardized. Even then, until 1751, the generals had freedom to choose their own dress and, more often than not, they wore civilian clothes.
Finally, Empress Maria Theresa decreed the design of a uniform in a letter sent to general officers.
Headdress, shirt, breeches and boots were the same for all ranks of general officers, rank badges being shown by the number of gold stripes (Gallonnierung) on the front edges of the coat, around the neck and upper edge of the cuff, and on the pockets. The gold lace had a distinctive zig-zag pattern. This was used to edge not only the coat but also the hat and the waistcoat. A gold-headed walking cane also indicated the rank.
General officers
This section depicts the regulation uniforms. Hpwever, it should be noted that Maria Theresia in the promulgation of common general uniforms on February 25, 1751 stated "...so sollen sie nur einerley Uniforme haben. Dieser Uniforme aber verhindert die samentliche Generalität nicht, den Uniforme ihrer Regimenter zu tragen, welche sie...", meaning: '...the common uniform does not prevent the whole 'Generalität' from wearing their regimental uniforms...'.

Generals stemming from hussar regiments embellished a white hussar style uniform (pelisse and dolman) with gold braids in a pattern according to their rank (see the portrait in our article on General Hadik for an example). They would also have had especially brilliant 'sujtás' on the thighs of their white breeches.
