Its still lovely and mild autumn weather as we prepare this

winter issue of Vienna In Your Pocket our 25th edition.
The city is looking stunning in its wardrobe of yellow and
red leaves, and its hard to imagine that the cold air will be
nipping at our ears and nose soon enough.
The Christmas markets take over the streets and squares
again from early November, with plenty to see, do and buy
for adults and children alike; see p.10 for the details. Viennas
museums are the ideal sanctuary for those chased indoors
by the cold; weve got everything you need to know about
current special exhibitions on p.16. For something special,
hop of the free shuttle bus to Klosterneuburg for the new
modern painting exhibition at the Essl Museum (see p.45).
Whatever you do this winter, keep wiggling those toes warm,
and let us know your comments at vienna@inyourpocket.com.
Enjoy Vienna.

History
Starting o as a tiny village along the Wien river, Vienna
is now the 10th largest city in the EU and home to many
major international organizations such as the United
Nations and OPEC.
ANTIQUITY
Founded around 500 BC, Vienna was originally a Celtic
settlement. By 15 BCE, the town had developed into a
Roman frontier city called Vindobona, protecting the
Roman Empire from Germanic tribes.
HABSBURGS
AND OTTOMANS
During the Middle Ages, Vienna became the residence
of the Habsburg dynasty in 1440 and eventually grew to
become the capital of the Holy Roman Empire. On their
march towards western Europe, the Ottoman armies
were twice stopped at Vienna in the 16th and 17th
centuries. During the 1529 Siege of Vienna, the city was
lucky to escape defeat and was saved by an early winter
and epidemics. A century later, the citys fortications
had been greatly expanded and proved their worth
during the 1683 Battle of Vienna, when they helped
the city survive for two months, allowing the army led
by Polish King Jan Sobieski to assemble and defeat the
Ottomans for good.
18TH CENTURY
Baroque was the style of the century, and local nobility
started constructing palaces in the countryside immediately
outside the city, resulting in several magnicent summer
palaces.
19
TH
CENTURY
Vienna became the capital of the huge Austrian

Empire in 1804, and later of the Austro-Hungarian
Empire, playing an important role in European and
world politics. The arts blossomed, and classical music
witnessed golden years. The rule of Emperor Franz
Joseph I transformed the city; the city walls were
demolished to make way for the Ringstrae boulevard
lined lined with impressive buildings, the city expanded
to include, and the Danube river which caused serious
floods was canalised and tamed.
20TH CENTURY
Industrialisation of and immigration to Vienna lead to a
period of expansion. By 1910, Vienna was the sixth largest
city in the world, with large numbers of Czech and Jewish
residents. The city was a centre of the new Jugendstil style
from 1900. The Austro-Hungarian Empire fell apart at the
end of the First World War and in 1918 the Republic of
Deutsch-sterreich was created. Socialism quickly became
popular and Red Vienna saw many residential estates

Arriving in Vienna
FROM THE MAYOR
Vienna is a city of dreams.
A city full of life, economic vitality, ecient transportation,
numerous modern buildings
and architectural gems. A city
that oers people work and the
youth a wide range of opportunities. Vienna is also the city
of green parks, calm, dreamy
alleys, art and music. This city Stadt Wien/PID,
attracts people. Vienna is grow- Photo: Hubert Dimko
ing; life can be felt on every corner and in every street.
Vienna is rightly deemed a city worth living in, a model
of providing medical and social benets.
As the headquarters of international agencies such
as OPEC, the UN and the International Atomic Energy
Agency, Vienna is also a cosmopolitan city of culture
and gastronomy. The rich spectrum of cultural oerings
makes Vienna a leading cultural metropolis; one often
hears the term international capital of music connected with it. The Viennese music institutions with their
grand tradition constantly keep this reputation fresh
and carry it forth into the world.
In the best tradition of the many Viennese markets,
I can only say: have a look around! Welcome to Vienna!

militia by the Austrian Army during the 1934 civil war.
Adolf Hitler himself an Austrian triumphantly
marched into town and spoke from the Hofburg balcony
during the Anschluss (joining) of Austria in 1938.
Viennas thousands of Jews suered badly, harassed by
both the state and anti-Semitic citizens, and decimated
by the Holocaust.
Vienna was badly damaged in 1944 and 1945 during
the Soviet advance, but largely reconstructed in the
1950s-60s, with the city centre proclaimed a UNESCO
World Heritage Site in 2001. Post-war Vienna was divided
into sectors ruled by The USA, UK, France and the Soviet
Union just like Berlin. The occupation lasted 10 years, in
which time spies from east and west played their Cold
War games.
Austria regained full independence in 1955, and
from the 1970s Vienna became the host city of many
important international organisations, including various
UN agencies, OPEC, the International Atomic Energy
Agency and OSCE. The crumbling of the Iron Curtain in
1989 profoundly changed the citys outlook, and theres
good cooperation with nearby Bratislava in Slovakia
now.

TRAINS
Until the new Wien-Hauptbahnhof (central station) is
completed in December 2014, Viennas train stations are

Zurich, Berlin, Frankfurt and Budapest depart from WienWestbahnhof. Trains to Prague, Warsaw, Venice, Rome,
Ljubljana, Zagreb and Graz depart from Wien-Meidling
station, at the Philadelphiabrcke U-Bahn station. Trains
to Bratislava and Burgenland depart from the temporary
Ostbahnhof terminal near the new central station (tram D
from the Ringstrasse).

booked in advance on the bilingual BB website, where
signicant reductions are available if you book well in
advance.

4, 5, 6. NASCHMARKT
This is currently Viennas most vibrant area with chic cafes
and people strolling past trendy stores and art galleries. You
would not want to miss out on a visit to Viennas central
Naschmarkt, selling all sorts of food and with amazing
restaurants and cosy cafs where many tourists and locals
enjoy a break. The Freihausviertel south of Naschmarkt in
the 4th district is the upcoming chic shopping mile. The
6th district, north of Naschmarkt, is known for its many gay
bars.
Vienna is truly the most international city in Austria, if not

in all of Central Europe, hosting the regional headquarters
of many international enterprises, the UN, OSCE and
OPEC. In the central districts you will have no problem
communicating in English. Vienna has 23 districts, with
the 1st being the city centre, N2-9 wrapped around it
and surrounded by the Grtel highway. Districts 10-23 are
mainly residential areas. Every district is attractive in its own
way and equally important, generally safe for tourists.
1. CITY CENTRE
The city centre literally refers to the very heart of Vienna. In the
mid-19th century Viennas old city wall was replaced by the
boulevard which in conjunction with the Franz-Josefs-Kai now
forms a ring around the city centre. Magnicent buildings such
as the state opera house, the Hofburg, the parliament building,
the Vienna city hall, the Burgtheater, the university, the Vienna
stock exchange and numerous prestigious buildings line this
splendid boulevard. Most 5-star hotels as well as major sights
are located here. Tourists will spend most of their time in this
area, with everything more or less within walking distance.
While Krnterstrasse and Graben are the two major shopping
streets in the city centre, Stephansplatz with St. Stephens
cathedral is the very centre of Vienna.
2. PRATER
The citys largest park stretches from the Praterstern metro
and train station towards the Ernst Happel stadium. Next
to Praterstern is the Wurstelprater amusement park. Some
say its better to avoid this area after dark. Leopoldstadt in
Viennas 2nd district used to be the Jewish part of town.
Today the jewish community is again growing and you will
nd kosher bakeries and a number of synagogues.
3. BELVEDERE
& HUNDERTWASSERHAUS
The third district is one of Viennas most desirable addresses.
Several buildings designed by Viennas most unusual architect
Friedenreich Hundertwasser, as well as Belvedere Palace, the
luxurious residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy, are all located
here. In addition, the district houses numerous embassies and
foreign missions, hence its name the Embassy Quarter.
6, 7. MARIAHILFERSTRASSE
AREA
Mariahilferstrasse is known as Central and Eastern Europes
most important shopping street. Since the fall of the Iron
Curtain, hundreds of buses bring shoppers from Hungary,
Czech Republic and Slovakia to Viennas top shopping
street to get their Christmas presents. A lot of interesting
stores, nice restaurants and relaxed bars are found strolling
around the side streets.
7, 8, 9. GRTEL AREA
Grtel is the name of the highway ring that encircles
Viennas central districts 1-9. In the zone between
Westbahnhof station and the Danube canal, the red-light
district has developed into Viennas hottest nightlife spot
with dozens of clubs and bars, one after the other. Go and
nd a bar that ts your taste!

NEW YEARS EVE IN VIENNA

Up to 250,000 visitors are expected to celebrate
New years Eve in central Vienna again this year. The
Silvesterpfad New Years Trail links up the various
events across the city centre with beautifully
illuminated streets. From 14:00 until 02:00 stages
across the city centre present DJ music and
performances - from waltzes and operettas to rock
and pop, the wide range of music means everyone
has something to dance to. But it isnt really 2015
until the Pummerin, Austrias largest bell in the
north tower of the Stephansdom, has rung in the
new year. At midnight, theres a large reworks
show at Heldenplatz. If youre celebrating New Year
at the Prater, theres a series of concerts and musical
reworks below the Ferris Wheel from 20:00.
To ease the ow, the metro and many tram lines run
all night; however Stephansplatz station will be closed.
Although its not allowed, plenty of locals will bring
their own reworks along, and these can get very
loud around midnight - its a very good idea to bring
earplugs or create your own using paper tissues, and
stay well away from dodgy characters.
WIENER SILVESTERPFAD, 31 Dec from 14:00 - 02:00.
Admission free.
10 Vienna In Your Pocket
Like elsewhere in Central Europe, the tradition of the

Christmas market (Weihnachtsmarkt) dates back to a
distant past and recreates this warm nostalgic feeling of the
times gone by. Historians believe that the rst Christmas
markets appeared in Vienna as early as in the 13th century,
when Bishop Albrecht I granted the city the right to hold
a December Advent market, then called Krippenmarkt.
Since those days, the tradition of Christmas markets has
been maintained and cherished although the new age of
commercialisation has undoubtedly left its traces. Vienna
boasts about 20 Christmas markets, starting as early as midNovember and staying open until Christmas; the markets at
the Prater and Schnbrunn remain open until early January.
Numerous stalls featuring a vast array of decorations,
toys, glassware, artwork, crystal, handicraft goods, smiley
gingerbread cookies, roasted chestnuts (Maroni), sausages,
honey, candles and of course eervescent mulled wine with
spices (Glhwein) and invigorating fruit Punsch with rum.
The markets also oer exciting entertainment for families
with children; they can bake their own gingerbread cookies,
paint Christmas decorations or recite poems for Santa.
KARLSPLATZ ADVENT MARKET
The market on the square in front of the impressive
Karlskirche is quite dierent from the others; all goods sold
here are hand-made by local artists and craftsmen, with live
demonstrations and raised stages for small children to see
better. Most food and drink is regional and organic, including
the amazing oven-baked atbread and delicious waes.
There's regular live music, this year you can expect Wir4,
The Untouchables, a 'Insingizi meets Wienerlieder' crossover
performance, and even a Salsa dance night on 29 November.
The market also oers plenty of exciting activities such as re
shows, acrobats and an artistic walking act on stilts by Soluna
Rising. The makers of the crazy Carousel Of Found Objects
will be back this year too with an even crazier contraption
that children can set into motion with pedal-power.
Adventmarkt vor der Karlskirche, from 21 November
to 23 December, www.divinaart.at. Resselpark,
MKarlsplatz. Open daily 12:00 - 20:00.
WIENER ADVENTZAUBER
Viennas largest Christmas market sprawls on the vast
Rathausplatz in front of the city hall. More than 150 stalls
featuring an array of gifts and food will provide plenty of
opportunities for shopping, sampling tasty goodies or
enjoying the fairy-tale lights and illumination. There are
many special activities for children; they can bake bread
or make a gift at the Christkindl workshop. On advent
weekends, sing along as choirs from Austria and around the
world perform Christmas carols (from 15:30, Fri-Sun from
28 Nov - 21 Dec, plus 24 Dec).

Adventure, tradition and Viennese charm are all available

children of all ages. The top event this season is the Prater

CRIME & SAFETY

Vienna is a safe city to visit, and theres little to fear except
perhaps for spending too much on food and souvenirs. As
elsewhere, avoid dark alleys at night and clutch your wallet
or purse when using public transport or in busy places.
DISABLED TRAVELLERS
Most hotels, restaurants and sights in Vienna are wellequipped for people in wheelchairs or otherwise requiring
assistance, and public transport is easy to use with its many
escalators, lifts and low-oor trams. The symbols below
our hotel reviews which hotels are suitable. The city has an
informative site for disabled travellers at www.wien.info/
en/travel-info/accessible-vienna.
ELECTRICITY
Austrian electrical current is 220v AC, and the country uses
the standard European round, two-pin sockets.
MONEY & COSTS

Austria uses the euro () with banknotes in denominations of
5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500. Coins, whose design
depends on in which country they were minted, come in
denominations of 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.50, 1
and 2. ATMs can be found everywhere in Vienna and are the
best way to get cash. Vienna is not an overly expensive city by
Western European standards and competition from nearby
cheap countries keeps the price of for instance cigarettes at bay.
Viennas status of a social democratic stronghold means that
public services such as public transport are relatively cheap.

POLITICS
The current mayor of Vienna is Michael Hupl. Since 1917,
Vienna has been (co-)governed by the Social Democratic
Party with an absolute majority in the city parliament
(except from 1934 to 1945 when the party was banned
and mayors were appointed by the Austro-fascist and
later by Nazi authorities). The Social Democrats currently
rule in coalition with the Green Party. Many political
experts believe that the rival Austrian Peoples Party would
completely dominate Austrian politics if it werent for the
Social Democrats unbreakable hold on Vienna. An example
of the citys many social democratic policies is the low-cost
Gemeindebauten residential estates which house about
25% of the Viennese population.
SMOKING
Ocially all restaurants, cafs and other such venues
have to provide a non-smoking section. While recently
many restaurants turned into smoke-free zones, dont be
surprised how smoky many bars and clubs can get. Most
traditional coee houses will have a smoking area.
TIPPING
If the service merits it, waiters appreciate a tip of about
10%; at the bar or at the Wrstelstand its common to round
up the sum a little.

DEVILS, MONSTERS,
CRUELTIES

Vienna has always been synonymous with music for
centuries. Some of the greatest musical gures in history
lived and worked in Vienna: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,
Ludwig van Beethoven, Joseph Haydn, Franz Schubert,
Johann Strauss, Gustav Mahler, Arnold Schnberg, Alban
Berg to name a few of them. Writing to his father in 1781,
Mozart said: Vienna is the best place in the world for my
profession. Because of the importance of these musicians
the tradition is maintained in Vienna by regular concert
events and festivals. Attractive concerts are held every
day of the year. But Vienna is also the capital of the waltz.
The Vienna Philharmonics New Years Concert is the most
famous classical concert in the world. It takes place every
year on 1 January at the Musikverein and always ends with
the Blue Danube waltz by Johann Strauss Junior. Another
xed attraction in Austrian musical life is the Vienna Boys
Choir, one of the oldest boys choirs in the world. For nearly
ve hundred years they have been a symbol of Austria.
And, as ever, every Sunday the Vienna Boys Choir sing
solemn mass in Viennas Hofburg chapel, continuing a
tradition unbroken since 1498.

Viennese cuisine stands out for its superb cakes and

pastries, but a wide range of other unique dishes, like
Wiener Schnitzel and Tafelspitz are also steeped in local
history. The cooking tradition here has been inspired by
many cultures throughout the centuries. During the 17th
and 18th centuries, Italian and French cuisine made their
way into the Viennese palate, followed by strong Bohemian
and Hungarian inuences in the 19th century, creating a
local cuisine both unique and delicious.

SERVICE & TIPPING

Many tourists and expats, especially those from
countries where it is assumed that customer is king, are
perplexed by the oddities of service in Vienna. Attitudes
here may range from extremely polite and friendly, to
professional but non-committal, to outright arrogant
and disrespectful. Locals claim that bad service has
always been common, and justify it with cultural
dierences and low salary levels. Perhaps Viennese
waiters simply need to be grumpy. Whatever the
reason, its perfectly normal to make clear if you are not
pleased with the service level. The Viennese revere their
Stammkunden (repeat customers), and even reserve
tables for them without being sure they will show up
so if youre turned away from a restaurant or caf with
several empty tables marked Reserviert, just demand
that a table be made available for you.
Note that the more upmarket restaurants in Vienna
often charge a Gedeck service fee of about 3 per
person, which goes some way to compensate for the
silverware, bread and butter.
Tipping about 10% at restaurants and cafs is expected;
not tipping anything is regarded as unacceptable.
Rounding up to the next euro is advised for services
like taxis.

VIENNAS SWEET
OBSESSION
sterreich Werbung/Eisenhut & Mayer
Probably in no other city would you nd such mind-boggling variety of savoury cakes, cookies, chocolates, nougats, marzipans and baked goods. Few other places in
the world would have locals choosing to eat a sweet dish
as a main course for dinner. Pastry and confections are
as quintessential to Vienna as St. Stephans Cathedral or
the waltz. Craving some sweet x for lunch? Try a slice of
the famous Apfelstrudl apple pie. Whats for dinner? How
about some Kaiserschmarrn - sliced pancakes served
with sugar powder, cinnamon and plum jam? Even if you
dont have a sweet tooth, you are almost certain to grow
one in Vienna. And while you wont have to walk more
than a block or two before you run into another place
that will tempt you to compromise on your cholesterol,
these are the venues that you shouldnt miss.

Coffeehouses
Coffeehouses
Vienna is one of those cities where coee is much more
than just a drink. Many coee houses in Vienna date back
to the 19th century, when there was little private heating,
and people used the coee houses as a second living
room, because they could not aord to heat their homes.
Unlike some other caf traditions around the world, it is
completely normal for a customer to linger alone for hours
and study the omnipresent newspapers. Along with coee,
the waiter will serve an obligatory glass of cold tap water
and during a long stay will often bring additional water
unrequested, with the idea being that you are a guest who
should feel welcome and not pressured to leave. Many
cafs provide small food dishes like sausages as well as
desserts, cakes and tarts, like Apfelstrudel and Linzer Torte.
In many classic cafs piano music is played in the evenings
and social events like literary readings are held.
VIENNESE COFFEEHOUSES
CAF CENTRAL
Originally opened in 1860, Caf Central boasts a number
of famous regulars over the years, including Leo Trotsky,
Adolf Loos, Vladimir Lenin and Sigmund Freud. The caf,
restored in 1986, is reminiscent of both the intellectuals
who frequented the caf and the imperial grandeur of
Austria. Caf Central is perfectly situated behind the
Hofburg, making it an ideal place to stop for a delicious
piece of Apfelstrudel and rich hot chocolate after youve
spent hours wandering through the nearby twin museums

CAF DRECHSLER
The crisp, clean interior of this caf is beguiling; with its
danceable beats and hip sta, Caf Drechsler is one of the
coolest cafs in town. It is also the caf with the longest
opening hours, only closing for an hour in the middle of the
night to clean. With the exception of Monday, Caf Drechsler
opens up every morning at 03:00, making it one of a handful
of locations where party animals can get a good ham and

CAF GRIENSTEIDL
Located at the back exit of the Hofburg, Caf Griensteidl is
another typical Viennese coeehouse. Its spacious, highceilinged room and lovely terrace make it a great place to
relax and listen to the carriages pass by. We believe the Black
Forest cherry cake is one of the best around; if nothing else,
a slice of this cake should put the caf on your radar.QA-2,

glass veranda, which looks out to the Burgtheater and
the neo-classical Rathaus (town hall), seat of the citys
government. The caf specializes in seasonal and
Austrian deserts, and the excellent brews will remind you
why Vienna is so well known for its coee. The waiting
sta has retained many typical aspects of Viennas coee

a caf in Southern France, but the excellent organic

French-inspired and will get you quite happily through

design is denitely in accordance with one of Loos driving
principles: cosiness. A tiny space, made to look larger

the wooden panelling, has only a handful of tables so be
prepared to share with strangers. The beer selection is weak

Nightlife
GAY VIENNA
Calling Vienna the San Francisco of Central Europe
would be somewhat of an exaggeration. Neither would
a comparison to Amsterdam, Barcelona or Berlin hold
up, for that matter. Yet, although gay life in Vienna is
quite low-key, things do happen, and for the most part,
a live and let live attitude seems to prevail among the
locals. The city hosts an annual GLBT Pride Parade on
the Ringstrasse, as well as a high-prole international
HIV/AIDS charity event known as the Life Ball. As for the
gay venues, most are clustered around Naschmarkt in
the 4th, 5th and 6th districts, but there are a few others
scattered around the city. Austrians arent usually keen
on starting conversation with strangers, so dont be shy
unless you want to spend the evening by yourself.
CAF BERG
Caf Berg has been catering to the gay, lesbian and
transgender community for the past 17 years in the
same street that Sigmund Freud once lived and worked.
The caf oers breakfast well into the afternoon, and

are held here, from fashion shows to lively parties, and if

Sightseeing
Sightseeing
The rst district, surrounded by the majestic imperial
buildings along the Ringstrasse, is Viennas historical centre.
Many of the important sights, such as the impressive St.
Stephens Cathedral, the gigantic Hofburg, Viennas town
hall, and many of the main museums are located here, all
within walking distance. But a lot of essential Vienna lies
beyond it. Outlying sights, such as Schlo Schnbrunn, or
the funfair and parks of the Prater are musts for every visitor.
Using public transport to get to these places is easy.
BELVEDERE
MAIN SIGHTS
BELVEDERE
Named for the Italian phrase for beautiful view, the
Belvedere palace complex was originally conceived as
a summer country estate for Prince Eugene of Savoy,
one of the most celebrated military heroes in European
history. His impressive collection of artwork is displayed
here, along with more recent additions from the royal
Habsburg holdings. The Upper Belvederes major
attraction is undoubtedly Gustav Klimts famous painting
The Kiss, which can also be seen on countless scarves,
mugs, posters and other trinkets sold by surrounding
shops and street vendors. While most visitors skip the
Lower Belvedere, its collection of curiously troubling
Messerschmidt heads make the extra few euros for a
combination ticket well worthwhile. To get here, take tram
D to the Schloss Belvedere stop.QC-4, Prinz-Eugen-Str.

HOFBURG
Home to the Habsburg monarchy for more than
six centuries, the ten major buildings comprising
the Hofburg complex represent the splendour and
influence of what was once the mightiest empire
in Europe. While this has been the site of countless
decisive historical events, the sweeping arcaded faade
of the Neue Burg earned worldwide notoriety in April

Hofburg
Belvedere
The Belvedere is one of the most striking and signicant

museums in the world and an absolute must-see for
the visitor to Vienna. When the Imperial Collection
was opened in the year 1781, the Upper Belvedere
became one of the rst museums in the world to
be accessible to the public. The Upper Belvedere
constructed between 1717 and 1723 is positioned
on a hill and aords a captivating view of Vienna. The
name Belvedere beautiful view goes back to the
times of Empress Maria Theresia in whose possession
the ensemble of palace and grounds fell shortly after
the death of Prince Eugene. Since the wellknown
urban landscape painter or vedutista Bernardo Bellotto
immortalised the view in his 18th century panorama, it
became known as the famous Belvedere view.
The Belvedere owns the worlds largest collection of
paintings by Gustav Klimt, including the famed Art
Nouveau icons, The Kiss and Judith I.
monarch has left his (or her) fingerprint on the layout
of this palace, resulting in a stylistic mishmash and a
wide array of museums. Maps in several languages
are posted in the courtyards throughout the complex,
but here are the highlights: the Schatzkammer
(Imperial Treasury) houses the crown jewels, as well
as the nail supposed to have pierced Christs right
hand and the so-called Spear of Destiny. If youre into
impressive baroque interiors, the reading room of the
Nationalbibliothek (National Library) is a highlight.
For those with a fascination for sordid dynastic family
histories, a ticket to the Kaiserappartements (Emperors
Apartments) includes the Silberkammer (Silver Vault)
and Sisimuseum (Sisi Museum), lending an intimate
insight into the private lives of Emperor Franz Joseph
and his wife, Elizabeth of Bavaria (better known locally

HUNDERTWASSER-KRAWINAHAUS
This vibrant and fanciful public housing complex,
now an iconic landmark of the work of Austrias own
architectural iconoclast, Friedensreich Hundertwasser,
regularly tops lists of visitors favourite sights in Vienna.
As you can probably tell by the Gaudi-esque shapes
and colourful palate, Hundertwasser embraced a
playful, environmentally-focused artistic philosophy. He
proclaimed that straight lines were godless and immoral,
that every building should have as many trees as tenants,
that rolling, uneven oors were a divine melody to the
feet, and that access to a window was a basic human
right. While entering the building is not permitted (it
is a private residence for 52 families and 250 trees and
shrubs), the Kunsthaus Wien, located just down Untere
Weigerberstrae, features a small museum and caf

Vika Prokopaviciute
Does painting have a future? How has painting changed

recently? What forward-looking positions are there in
Austria? This exhibition at Klosterneuburgs Essl Museum
provides answers to these questions. The diverse and
high-quality works by the 23 featured Austrian and
Austria-based artists show that painting and graphic
art still play an essential role in contemporary art. Ines
Agostinellis remarkable drawings on large-format
canvases show organic-looking forms and patterns, an
expression of intimate feelings, of individual memories,
thoughts and stories that remain mysterious and
opaque to the viewer. Syrian artist Adel Dauood sees his
paintings and drawings as a personal confrontation with
war and violence in his homeland, which he was forced
to ee. His imagery is never obvious, never striking
or unambiguous, but remains in ux. Martin Veigls
colourful everyday scenes in the urban environment
make people seem as if illuminated by searchlight;
garish and close to the edge of the picture as they come
towards us. Vika Prokopaviciutes abstract paintings are
distinguished by an exceptional feeling for colour, form
and composition; they are non-representational, even if
there are repeated echoes of gurative forms.

The Sigmund Freud Museum

Berggasse 19 in Viennas ninth district has become one
of the worlds most famous addresses: Here is where
Sigmund Freud lived and worked for 47 years until he
was driven into exile in 1938. Pioneering works such as
The Interpretation of Dreams were written in the study.
In these rooms, the Sigmund Freud Museum presents an
exhibition documenting the life and work of the founder
of psychoanalysis with unique film material depicting the
Freud family and original objects and furniture from Freuds
belongings.
There are few cities in Europe where the Jewish population

has been so deeply ingrained, and yet, has experienced
such devastation during the persistent waves of antiSemitism and in the World War II, as Vienna. The historical,
political and economic contribution of the Jewish
community into this citys past and present can hardly be
underestimated. It would suce to say that three of four
Nobel Prize Winners from Austria were Jewish. Luminaries
such as the father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, writers
Arthur Schnitzler and Stefan Zweig, composers Gustav
Mahler and Emmerich Kalman, and the founder of modern
Zionist movement Theodore Herzl, all lived and worked
here and were all of Jewish origin.
THE JEWISH COMMUNITY

TODAY
EARLY HISTORY
The Jewish Museum of Vienna is one of the largest in

Europe, with locations at Dorotheergasse and Judenplatz.
The Dorotheergasse location uncovers the Jewish history
of Vienna throughout the centuries, while at Judenplatz
there are the archeological remains of a 500-year old
synagogue, and a monument to the Austrian victims of
the holocaust. The Stadttempel at Seitenstettengasse
is the only synagogue to survive the war and is open for
guided tours. Other Jewish sights include Theodore Herzl
Stiege, the stairs named after the father of Zionism, and
the monument to the victims of Gestapo at Morzinplatz.
The Jewish Welcome Center at Stephansplatz has further
information about Jewish life and culture in Vienna.
The rst mention of Jews in Vienna is from the 12th

century. By 1420 the Jews had comprised about 5% of
the citys population, but soon they were expelled from
the city, their property was conscated, and many were
brutally murdered in nearby Erdberg. Later in the 15th
century they were allowed to return and establish their
own colony in Leopoldstadt. Under the reign of Empress
Maria Theresa laws were introduced that substantially
worsened the condition of the Jews; these were later
repealed, and Vienna became the center of Jewish culture
in Central Europe.
JEWISH RENAISSANCE AND

THE RISE OF ANTI-SEMITISM
The years following the Revolution of 1848 were quite stable
and prosperous for the Jewish community. The presence of
the Jews became obvious in the citys social, economic and
political life. Anti-Semitic feelings were formented by many
of Viennas public ocials and politicians, one of the most
radical of them being Dr. Karl Lueger, the Mayor of Vienna
from 1897 to 1910. Early in the 20th century, twenty-one
members of the extreme anti-Semitic All-Deutsche Partei
were elected into parliament.
It took Austria almost fty years to come to terms and accept

its role in the holocaust. Traces of anti-Semitism continued
through the 1980s and can still be felt to this day. Not until 1991
did the government nally issue a statement acknowledging
their role in the Third Reich. The Jewish population has been
growing since the 1950s, primarily due to immigration from
Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and Iran; today it
stands at about 14,000 and there are fteen synagogues.

WORLD WAR II
AND THE HOLOCAUST
FREUD IN VIENNA
On March 12, 1938, Hitler marched into Vienna and made

a speech at the balcony of the Hofburg Palace. Almost
immediately, Aryan-only laws were enacted, and Jews were
deprived of civil rights, were not permitted to own land or
hold public oce. On November 9, 1938, the notorious
Kristallnacht occurred, when angry residents, driven by
the Nazi party, torched Jewish businesses and synagogues.
About 6,000 Jews were apprehended and sent to Dachau
camp that day. Following the Wannsee Conference of
1942, Jews were stripped of their citizenship and mass
deportations to concentration camps ensued. The Jewish
community, that had counted over 200 thousand people
in 1938, was all but decimated. More than 130,000 were
forced to leave the country, about 65,000 were murdered.
Less than 1,000 managed to survive the catastrophe.
Sigmund Freud, one of Viennas most prominent Jewish intellectuals, lived and worked at Berggasse 19
between 1859 and 1938. Hes now recognized as the
founder of modern psychology, but when he was in
Vienna, Freuds career as a researcher and theorist was
heavily marked by confrontation and opposition due to
the strong anti-Semitic attitude in Viennese politics and
society. Consequently, Freud did not enjoy much local
recognition for his work on psychoanalysis, which was
held in low regard and labelled as a Jewish science, and
his career at the University of Vienna stagnated crumbled. After the annexation of Austria in 1938 he ed to
London, but despite the constant ostracism he experienced in Vienna, he always longed for his former home.

Daytrips
Krems
Childrens Vienna
sterreich Werbung / Himsl
When youve seen enough of Vienna and have an extra day

or two to spare, hop on a train or a bus and head out to the
pristine countryside of Lower Austria where you will enjoy
beautiful scenery, marvel at amazing baroque architecture,
splurge in well-equipped spas and thermal baths, unwind
in cosy cafs and restaurants on cobble-stone streets, and
taste the wine from famous century-old wineries of the
Wachau Valley. Considering Austrias reliable infrastructure
and aordability of bus and train service, youd have no
trouble reaching any of the destinations we recommend
here. Schedules can be obtained at the website of Austrian
Railways (BB), www.oebb.at. Tickets can be purchased at
the railway stations, online, or from the bus driver.
KREMS
Just a one-hour ride from Vienna by train, Krems is a delightful,
remarkably well-preserved medieval town in the Danube
Valley. Its success as the centre of the Danube trading
route peaked in the 13th-16th centuries, but the town was
plundered during the 30 Year War in the 17th century and
never regained its commercial status. Unlike in many other
Austrian towns, the 17th-18th century baroque architecture
hasnt really taken root in Krems, which explains why the
town still charms visitors with its unique medieval character.
Start exploring Krems at Landstrae, the citys main pedestrian
promenade lled with cafs, restaurants and souvenir shops,
then stop by at the Town Hall (Rathaus) and wander around
the towns numerous small squares, cobbled streets and
narrow alleys. Visit the magnicent Parish Church, one of only a
few churches in town with the baroque interior, then continue
on to the Dominican Monastery with its museum dedicated to
the areas long-standing tradition of winemaking. Krems also
has a more modern part, just beyond the Steiner Gate, where
the relatively new Danube University adds a younger fresher

If there was such thing as a national abbey, the Melk Abbey
(Stift Melk) would be the one for Austria. Perched atop the
hill overlooking the Danube, this imposing Benedictine
building is so enormous it almost dwarfs the surrounding
area with its overwhelming presence. It is this magnicent
monastery that attracts thousands of tourists to the quiet

town of Melk every year. Although monks have lived here
for over 900 years, the abbey was completely rebuilt in 1732
and has since undergone several further renovations, the
most recent one was completed in 2000. Today the Abbey
belongs to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. Dont miss
the stunning Marble Hall and the Abbey Library, as well as
the strikingly beautiful Abbey Church with ceiling frescos
by Johann Michael Rottmayr. Admire fantastic views of
the town and the Danube valley from the terrace and walk

LES CLEFS DOR

Concierges that are members of the Les
Clefs dOr international concierge association (Union Internationale des Concierges dHotel) can be recognised by the
crossed gold keys on their lapels. This means that you
are dealing with a professionally trained concierge who
has built up the skills and contacts to open doors for
you throughout the city and indeed the world. They
should have a quick reply to any question or request
you have. Hotels that have a concierge who is a Clefs
DOr member are marked with golden keys symbol in
this chapter.
MEET THE CONCIERGE
Together with In Your Pocket, the citys hotel concierges

are important sources of information for travellers.
Good concierges will be able to give you restaurant and
sightseeing tips, and can book event tickets for you. In
this issue, we speak to Harald Schubert, Front Oce
Manager at the Opernring Hotel. After graduating
from Hotel Management School, Mr Schubert worked
in dierent countries for many years before checking
in to the Opernring.
This makes our hotel special... This small hotel is
in a listed house which was built as a residence for a
noble family. Although the building itself now serves
as a hotel since 1926, it still mirrors a certain private
atmosphere of those good olden golden times.
Special guests requests... Being passionately
involved in customer service for more than 25 years,
I do not see myself in the position to judge requests
as strange or funny. Due to the generous room sizes
guests frequently ask for a permanent, long-term room
where they can bring in one or two pieces of antique
furniture they have found in Vienna. Then they would
also love to add a small kitchen unit in their favourite
room to create their own little world. Of course these
are nice thoughts, but the hotel will keep its old
fashioned habit of providing traditional accomodation
with champagne breakfast buet.
Special restaurants I recommend... For decades,
the hotel is spoiled by many returning guests. They
have got used to their own special kind of routine,
frequenting the Augustinerkeller, the Fhrich, the
Reinthaler, Cafe Museum, the lobby of the Bristol Hotel,
and the Palmenhaus.
Das Opernring
Special sights I recommend... The Klimt-Villa in the

Hietzing area, and the Jugendstil Strudlhofstiege stairs
in the Alsergrund district.
