The numerous Victorias, Mylords and Coupés, which were used by the members of the Court in everyday life and were thus a characteristic part of the Viennese street scene, were lost as a result - as was the stock of utility and work vehicles.

After the dissolution of the Oberststallmeisteramt in 1922, a remnant of the court vehicle fleet, which was considered historically significant and therefore worth preserving, was handed over to the Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM) together with some examples of modern carriage construction and the associated harnesses and liveries.

Also in 1922, the carriages given to the museum had to leave their traditional place in the Hofstallungen, as these premises were now rented to the Wiener Messe AG, which called the building the Messepalast for decades.

In November 2001, the last surviving Court automobile, the later Kaiserwagen built in 1914 by the Austrian company Gräf & Stift, returned to the collection on permanent loan from its former producer.

Emperor Karl I had taken it to Switzerland by train when he left republican German Austria in March 1919; later Gräf & Stift had bought it back at auction.
