How would a German-managed partition of Austria-Hungary look like?

If the Italian front goes more or less like OTL, good luck keeping Italy out - it crushed the Austrian army at Vittorio Veneto, and is undoubtedly a winner. If Germany is ready to go for a second round immediately - but this time across the Alps - they can try to expel the Italians. It still won't be pretty.

A Kingdom of Austria consisting of the Habsburg lands of the Holy Roman Empire before 1526.
A Kingdom of Bohemia consisting of Austrian Silesia, Bohemia and Moravia.
A Kingdom of Croatia consisting of Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia.
A Kingdom of Hungary.
A Kingdom of Poland consisting of Congress Poland and Galacia.

All with Habsburg rulers.
Regarding Poland: no. They'd call it Kingdom of Galicia, and give Ukrainians autonomy in the Eastern parts, because no way they'd ever allow it to be called Poland.

A war which allows Germany to keep all of its Brest-Litovsk (or whatever the treaty ends up being called in this TL) gains is effectively a Germany victory - it's a peace in which the Western Allies were unable to defeat her. And in such a case, Italy has even less leverage than France.

The fact is that we have almost no details as to how the war played out (or the peace), and as someone pointed out above, that really matters. Because there are a lot of variables in play, and it was a very fluid situation. The most I can see Italy getting might be part of South Tyrol. But even that requires a pretty stark Habsburg collapse.

I don't think the Italian front is likely to play out in the same way in the event of a CP victory anyways. There was a collapse in morale across all the fronts after the failure of the Spring Offensive that had a significant effect on the end of the war that wouldn't be playing out the same way in any scenario where the Germans win.
