Talk:Further Austria

Naming

There are lots of references to "Further Austria" on the net - but most seem to come back to this page on Wikipedia. It doesn't _feel_ like a particularly likely translation of "Vorderösterreich". Does anyone know what actual English speaking historians use to refer to the place (when they don't simply use the German)? Martin aus Herrischried (talk) 16:03, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that also seems fishy to me. Even if there should be older attestations for the term, it's a bad translation. "Further" is phonologically similar to German "Vorder-", but has the opposite meaning (farther, more distant). Compare "Vor(der)-" and "Hinter-Pommern" in Northern Germany which are traditionally translated in the opposite manner: Hither and Farther Pomerania. --Ubel (talk) 10:14, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

Lustenau

The County of Lustenau, located at the river Rhine between Bregenz and Hohenems, on the map is included in the Habsburg possessions (Oberamt Bregenz). However, it was not acquired by Austria until 1814/1830.--thomasgraz 06:55, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Mentions Germany, Alsace, and Voralberg - should also mention the fricktal in modern day Switzerland (shown on the map)
