(Note: Austria(-Hungary)'s system of citizenship used to be rather complex. You could be citizen in one place and still be subject to another. This was important e.g. if you became impoverished and someone had to take care of you. In such a case, the place to which you were subject would help.)

I think of the "belonging-place" or "responsible place" as a sort of Social Security arrangement. It is my impression that it was independent of citizenship -- a totally unrelated system and concept, really.

@Julia Szent-Györgyi It was more than a social security arrangement, it was a kind of 'citizenship' in today's understanding. The citizenship I spoke of above was a 'literal citizenship', as the point was that you were subject to a certain city, i.e. one which had been bestowed city rights. It had nothing to do with countries.
Originally, the point of the 'responsible place', the Heimatrecht, was that you were 'entitled' to stay at a certain place. That place was responsible not just to take care of you in times of need or old age but also to keep track of other things, such as convictions. It was similar to the way the Swiss manage things today.
Austria(-Hungary) used to group people by the places to which they belonged, where they were heimatberechtigt. This system was changed to how most of us view citizenship today after world war 1. Austrians were extremely unhappy with that at the time because it meant the people who'd belonged to places in Dalmatia, Bohemia, Moravia et cetera were suddenly declared to be subjects of Austria and evicted from the places where they and their ancestors had been living for generations.

Hungarian for the concept is illetőség (illetőségi hely). It's hard to find material on it, especially in English -- I guess it was so much taken for granted that nobody had any reason to write about it.
My explanation of "like a location-based Social Security program" is definitely a simplification, but I think it gets the main point across.

@Julia Szent-Györgyi No, you've just got to know where to look. I know jurists wrote about in German, particularly following ww1, and there's bound to have been a legal scholar who either translated that into English or who wrote it himself. In any case, I'll have a look.
But you're right; your explanation is probably sufficient for that purpose.
