The governor of Transylvania, Karl von Schwarzenberg, and his epoch in the collections of the National Museum of Transilvanian History

  • TITLU în română: Guvernatorul Transilvaniei, Karl Von Schwarzenberg, şi epoca sa în colecţiile Muzeului Naţional de Istorie a Transilvaniei
  • Subiect: In the autumn of 1849, once the Revolution had come to an end, a series of measures meant to ensure the political stability, pacification and socio-economic modernisation of Transylvania began to be implemented by the first two civilian and military governors, Ludwig von Wohlgemuth (1849-1851) and Karl von Schwarzenberg (1851-1858). The former madea remarkable effort for pacifying the province and punishing those guilty of the revolutionary turmoil by setting up, in each of the six districts of Transylvania, court martials that investigated the abuses committed during the years 1848-1849. During the following period, these courts began to issue numerous custodial sentences, and it is significant that in the museum collections there is a series of objects (wooden cups, boxes, fans, crucifixes, bracelets) made by the convicts, amounting, as the inscriptions on them show, to "memories" of their years in prison.
