This volume is concerned with the institutional history of the two Vienna Greek communities in the context of the Habsburg Empire as well as their relation to the Ottoman Empire under the changing geopolitical situations. The community of Saint George of the Ottoman subjects and the community of Holy Trinity of the Habsburg subjects, founded by Christian merchants from the Ottoman Empire were characterised by two characteristics. On the one hand the membership to one of the two multi-ethnic Empires formed identity and self-consciousness of the "Greeks" and led to the separation of the communities according to their nationalities. On the other hand, the tensions between the Ottoman society of origin and the Austrian host society led to a broad institutional autonomy of the communities.
