Franz Anton von Raab
Franz Anton von Raab (1722-1783) was an Austrian agrarian reformer and a minister under Maria Theresa. He championed economic reforms known as Raabization, in which church-owned land was sold to peasants in return for cash payments that freed them from their obligated robota labor. His daughter Eleonore von Raab built up a substantial collection of minerals which was widely known after being catalogued by Ignaz von Born. References
