The court survived the persistent political unrest and periodic constitutional upheavals of the 1850s and 1860s, the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, and the collapse of the Empire at the end of World War I. Except for a change of name, it was retained unaltered both by the provisional government of the emerging First Austrian Republic in 1918 and by the Constitution of 1920. The court was dissolved following the Nazi takeover of Austria in 1938 but resurrected after Austria's liberation from Nazi rule in 1945.
