In the [[Habsburg monarchy]], the [[Austrian Empire]] and [[Austria-Hungary]], the rank ''Feldmarschall'' was used. The rank was also given to imperial generals in southern German States including Austria (''Reichsgeneralfeldmarschall'') by the [[Roman-German Emperor]] during the existence of the [[List of field marshals of the Holy Roman Empire|Holy Roman Empire]] up to 1806.
