- Abstract
This article, a continuation of a study of the history of retirement pension schemes for the officials of the Free City of Cracow in the early 19th century, concerns itself with the period 1838-1846. It analyses in particular the data concerning the categories of persons entitled to a retirement pension (officials of the administration and judiciary, their widows and children), conditions of eligibility, forfeiture clauses, pension fund flnancing, etc.). The article also examines in detail the functioning of the Pension Committee, focusing on its handling of hard cases and the fixing of the amount level of the pension award. Using the records from the National Archives in Cracow, the article reconstructs the processing of a handful of individual pension award applications. Finally, the article surveys the history of the Cracovian pension scheme until 1854, i.e. after the incorporation of the Free City into the Austrian Empire in 1846 as the Grand Duchy of Cracow and in 1850 as a district of the province (ceremonial Kingdom) of Galicia and Lodomeria.
