Foreword
Who said Vienna is dull? With the 2016 spring season
about to erupt, the city is livelier and more exciting than
even before. The city's top-class museums have dozens of
fantastic exhibitions lined up, the cafs will soon set up
their outdoor tables again, and the nightlife is as good
as it gets with all the students still in town before their
summer exams. This year Vienna has a special birthday
to celebrate; the Prater amusement park is an amazing
250 years old and still going strong with new attractions
added every year.
Whatever you do in Vienna this winter, do let us know your
tips, comments and complaints at vienna@inyourpocket.

History
Starting off 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 fortifications
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 magnificent 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
FROM THE MAYOR

Vienna is a city of dreams.
A city full of life, economic vitality, efficient transportation,
numerous modern buildings
and architectural gems. A city
that offers 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 benefits.
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 offerings
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 suffered 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.

Vienna Districts
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. Magnificent 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
find 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
find a bar that fits your taste!

BASIC DATA
Population
Austria (2009 estimate): 8,356,707; Vienna: 1,705,080
21,1% of people living in Vienna are foreign nationals,
121,000 of them originating from former Yugoslavia,
41,000 Turks and 28,000 Germans.
Area: Austria: 83,872 km2; Vienna: 414,90 km2
Official languages: German. Slovene, Croatian and
Hungarian are officially recognised.
Local time: Central European (GMT+1hr)
Longest river: Danube (357,5 km in Austria)
Highest mountain: Austria: Groglockner 3,798m
Vienna: Hermannskogel 542m
Borders: Austria borders Germany and the Czech
Republic to the north, Slovakia and Hungary to the
east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland
and Liechtenstein to the west.
Religion: Roman Catholic 49,2%; no religion 25,6%;
Muslim 7,8%; Orthodox 6%; Protestant (mostly
Lutheran) 4,7%; Jewish 0,5%.
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-floor 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
Officially 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 coffee 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.

The Prater
Martin Hesz
In the large green Prater park just east of the city

centre, the so-called Wurstelprater is a large amusement
park thats open all year round. Built in a former imperial
hunting area, today it features various rides, bumper cars,
carousels, roller coasters and more. More than 250 different
attractions in fact, as well as a wide selection of bars, beer
gardens and eateries. Entrance is free, but each attraction
has its own fixed price; pay in cash.
adding bigger and better attractions, impressive architecture,

and an advanced infrastructure, including connections to
the tram and metro systems. The Prater became a symbol
for Vienna, the prime place for culture and entertainment.
In 2016 will be the 250th anniversary year of the Prater, and
promises to be a good party.
The Prater's main season starts shortly before spring, on
15 March, and lasts until 31 October. This is the best time
to enjoy the outdoors, check out the new attractions that
are added every year, and visit the "Schanigrten", outdoor
restaurants. But the park is open year-round, and in
winter there's an increasing number of indoor attractions,
restaurants and bars.
WIENER PRATER
Qwww.prateraktiv.at
250 years ago the Prater started off as the private hunting
grounds of Emperor Joseph II. Immediately after he
donated the area to the city of Vienna in 1766, it was used
for recreational purposes, becoming one of Europe's oldest
entertainment parks. Inns, bars, restaurants, theatres, swings,
merry-go-rounds, bowling alleys and other attractions were
quickly built and soon enough the crowds from across Vienna
flocked to the area in search for fun and relaxation away from
their cramped apartments and dreary factory jobs. Over the
years the Prater grew and became ever more sophisticated,

The Prater
THE RIESENRAD
The most recognizable attraction of the Prater is
undoubtedly the iconic Riesenrad Ferris wheel.
Erected in 1897 to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of
Emperor Franz Joseph, it ranks among the worlds
oldest and largest Ferris wheels, reaching a height
of 65 meters. It gained international fame through
the classic 1949 classic film The Third Man when one
of the cabins was the scene of a pivotal argument
between Orson Welles and Joseph Cotton. A visit to
Vienna can hardly be complete without a ride on this
historic giant, taking in the breathtaking views from
the top.

WIND-O-BONA
Special seasonal events at the Prater include Easter and the

Maifest in spring, the Science Fiction Day, Praterrummel in
summer, the Wiener Wiesn-Fest and Halloween in autumn
and the Winter Market and New Year's Eve in winter. Twice
a year, in spring and autumn, there's also a popular flea
market for children.
ATTRACTIONS
All visitors should try out the landmark Riesenrad Ferris
wheel of course, but theres much more at the Prater.
The newest attraction at the Vienna Prater is the
WINDOBONA Indoor Skydiving Center, Austrias first
freefall wind tunnel. Experience wind speeds of up to
280km/h, comparable to a parachute jump from a plane,
as you learn to fly, suspended in the vertical glass tunnel.
Prater Wien GmbH
Visit the Schweizerhaus (Swiss house), Vienna's most

popular beer garden, for freshly tapped Budweiser beer and
tasty snacks. On hot days it's a particularly good place to
relax, due to the cool shade of the chestnut trees overhead.
See www.schweizerhaus.at for more information.
EVENTS AT THE PRATER
Phoenix Bowling Park Prater
Bowling first came to Vienna in the late 1950s, and the

Phoenix Park Bowling Prater opened at the Prater
in 1962. Bowling at this Brunswick bowling alley fast
became a popular recreational activity for young and
old. Its attractive large pavement caf along the Prater
Avenue is a great place for cool drinks, coffee, the
American, Italian and traditional home-cooked dishes.

Vienna has always been synonymous with music for
centuries. Some of the greatest musical figures 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
fixed attraction in Austrian musical life is the Vienna Boys
Choir, one of the oldest boys choirs in the world. For nearly
five 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.

Viennas cosmopolitan character is reflected by a great

range of fine international restaurants. No matter if you are
looking for an exclusive restaurant in the first district or
you want to stop by at one of the authentic Asian eateries
- Vienna offers something for every taste. And the good
news: compared to other European cities typical tourist
traps are relatively rare.
AUSTRIAN
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

FIGLMLLER
The history of Viennas most famous schnitzel began in
1905, when Johann Figlmller founded a small tavern
behind the cathedral. Right from the start, the schnitzel
was what it still is today: a bit bigger, a bit thinner and
a bit crisper than the others, and served with the classic
potato salad side dish. Figlmller is still a lovingly run family
business. Also just around the corner at Bckerstrasse 6.

Coffeehouses
Vienna is one of those cities where coffee is much more
than just a drink. Many coffee houses in Vienna date back
to the 19th century, when there was little private heating,
and people used the coffee houses as a second living
room, because they could not afford 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 coffee,
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

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

For more then 15 years this club has been famous for

Passage is definitely more on the upscale side of things:
if you arent dressed well, dont even think about going
downstairs to mingle with the crowd. The DJs are world

Sightseeing
The first 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.QC4, Prinz-EugenStr. 27, tel. +43 1 79 55 70, www.belvedere.at. Open

DANUBE TOWER VIENNA
Architect Hannes Lintl designed the Vienna Donauturm
in 1964 for the Viennese International Horticultural Show.
Since then it has become a part of the Viennese skyline, a
popular lookout point and a tourist attraction. The Vienna
Donauturm located near the northern bank of the Danube
in the middle of the Donaupark, which was built to host the
horticultural fair in Viennas 22nd District, Donaustadt. It is
one of Viennas tallest building with a height of 252 meters.
776 steps lead to its viewing platform, which is at a height
of 150 meters, but there are two elevators taking visitors
Hofburg
Belvedere
The Belvedere is one of the most striking and significant

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 first museums in the world to
be accessible to the public. The Upper Belvedere
constructed between 1717 and 1723 is positioned
on a hill and affords 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.

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 of 1938, when Adolf Hitler
spoke to a crowd of 200,000 people from its central
balcony. Nearly every Austrian 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
Sightseeing
the Nationalbibliothek (National Library) is a highlight. For
those with a fascination for sordid dynastic family histories,
a ticket to the Kaiserappartements (Emperors Apartments)

(Sisi Museum), lending an intimate insight into the private
lives of Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife, Elizabeth of
Bavaria (better known locally as Sisi). The dancing white

Riding School) perform here, as well as the boy sopranos

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, environmentallyfocused artistic philosophy. He proclaimed that straight
lines were godless and immoral, that every building
should have as many trees as tenants, that rolling, uneven
floors were a divine melody to the feet, and that access

SECESSION
This remarkable building was conceived as a deliberate

its crowning gold sphere as a goldenes Krauthappel

Today, the vegetable-ism has become something of
an endearment with the building featured on the back
of Austrian-minted 0,50 coins, and the building has
functioned as a forum for modern Austrian artists for
more than 100 years. The main attraction is undoubtedly
Gustav Klimts Beethoven Frieze, but the higher ticket

Daytrips
Krems
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 affordability 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 filled 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 magnificent 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
touch to this otherwise very historic town.
Getting there: Hourly trains to Krems/Donau leave from
Viennas Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof (Tram D from the Opera
House). One-way fare is 13.90.
MELK AND THE ABBEY

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 magnificent

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

of Vienna on a hill beside the Danube river, makes
a great daytrip for art and wine lovers. Starting
off as a Roman fortification, Klosterneuburg was
revived by Charlemagne in early medieval times,

its prominence and a stead supply of excellent
wine - ever since, attracting many affluent residents.
Klosterneuburg is also the place where the famous
writer Franz Kafka died in a sanatorium in 1924.

Jewish Vienna
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 anti-Semitism 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 suffice 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 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.
EARLY HISTORY
The first 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 confiscated, 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 officials 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.
WORLD WAR II
AND THE HOLOCAUST
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 office. 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.

THE JEWISH COMMUNITY

TODAY
It took Austria almost fifty 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 finally 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 fifteen synagogues.
JEWISH SIGHTS
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.

FREUD IN VIENNA
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 fled to London,
but despite the constant ostracism he experienced in
Vienna, he always longed for his former home.

the gamut from large fashion chains to small boutiques,

FLOWERS
While Vienna definitely has no shortage of major brand

names featuring both extravagant luxury collections and
informal street-style fashion, we thought that rather than

mentioned here are located in the citys up-and-coming

arrangements for all occasions since the 19th century.

MEET THE CONCIERGE
Together with In Your Pocket, the citys hotel concierges

are important sources of information for travellers.
Recognised by the golden crossed keys on the lapels of
their jackets, 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 Mag. KarlMichael Them, Deputy Front Office Manager of the
Hotel Erzherzog Rainer since 2013. Mr Them realised
he was made for the tourism industry when he worked
in youth hostels to help finance his study of TheatreFilm- and Media Sciences at the University of Vienna, so
after graduating he immediately started working at the
Hotel Erzherzog Rainer.
This make our hotel special...
The history of the Hotel Erzherzog Rainer goes back
more than a century, and interestingly it has always
been a family-run hotel. It was opened in 1913 and
managed by the the Nedomansky family for 80
years and then sold to the Schick family in 1994. The
traditional values of a family-run hotel are what makes
the Hotel Erzherzog Rainer so special.
Special restaurants I recommend...
I like to recommend Das Schick for its AustrianSpanish fusion cuisine and its unique view over Vienna.
Especially in summer I advise guests to visit Motto
am Fluss, situated along the Donaukanal; this is, it is a
great location for dinner as well as for a coffee break
or parties.
Special sights I recommend...
The Sankt Marxer Friedhof in the third district was
closed in 1874 and is a conservation area and public
park nowadays. The most important grave here is that
of the great Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart. It's especially nice to visit in April and May
when the lilac trees are in bloom.
In Your Pocket... is a good guide for guests when they
are out in Vienna on their own.
