The concordat was essentially incorporated into the new constitution by which the Catholic Church, through the "Christian corporative state" (Ständestaat) greatly increased its influence, especially in regard to schools, marriage laws and Church appointments. After the Anschluss in 1938 the concordat was out of force until the end of World War II.
The concordat, which granted the Catholic Church significant control over schools, marriage regulations, and church appointments, was incorporated into the new constitution after its signing. Following Austria's annexation of Germany in 1938, the concordat ceased to be valid until World War II ended.
