Julius von Schlosser (1866-1938) ist eine der großen Figuren der Kunstgeschichte und darf neben Alois Riegl (1858-1905) als einflussreichster Vertreter der Wiener Schule gelten. Zum 150. Geburtstag positionieren die hier vorgelegten Beiträge den Wiener Gelehrten in der Geschichte der Kunstgeschichte und innerhalb des aktuellen Methodendiskurses. Die Beiträge gehen auf eine vom Kunsthistorischen Museum und dem Institut für Kunstgeschichte der Universität Wien gemeinsam veranstaltete Tagung zurück und eröffnen neue Perspektiven auf Leben und Werk Julius von Schlossers. Zentrale Themen bilden seine einflussreiche Rolle als Museumsmann und Universitätslehrer und seine bis heute stark rezipierten Publikationen zu den Kunst- und Wunderkammern der Spätrenaissance, zur Porträtbildnerei in Wachs und zur Kunstliteratur, aber auch seine Bedeutung als Historiograph der Wiener Schule, seine Ambitionen als Brückenbauer zwischen Deutschland und Italien und sein Verhältnis zu wichtigen Zeitgenossen wie Wilhelm von Bode, Alois Riegl, Aby Warburg, Heinrich Wölfflin, Karl Vossler und Benedetto Croce.

Neben Fragen zur praktischen Haushaltsgestaltung und zum Umgang mit der Schuldenbremse im Zuge der Pandemie einschließlich etwaiger Reformnotwendigkeiten werden auch finanzpolitische Aspekte der Digitalisierung und der föderalen Transferwege im deutschen Bundesstaat thematisiert. Einen eigenen Schwerpunkt bilden Fragen der kommunalen Finanzausstattung, z. B. die öffentliche Investitionstätigkeit, die Umsetzung der Grundsteuerreform auf Länder- und Gemeinde-Ebene sowie Fragen einzelner kommunaler Finanzausgleichssysteme.
