Abstract
In the 18th century the centralization efforts of the Habsburg rulers were intensified in the field of mining administration. Their aim was to be able to dispose over the mine revenues without the orders. For this purpose, by the circumstantial regulation of the position of the officials, they set up a new official staff which was independent of the orders. By studying of the legal position of the officials we can better understand the working mechanism of an absolutist system.
