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
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.

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. 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.
8
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!

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.

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-gorounds, bowling alleys and other attractions were quickly
built and soon enough the crowds from across Vienna
ocked to the area in search for fun and relaxation away

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 lm 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.

ATTRACTIONS
All visitors should try out the landmark Riesenrad Ferris
wheel of course, but theres much more at the Prater. The
newest attractions include the 5D cinema, where you can

Wall of China at breakneck speed, you feel like youre actually on board one. You can experience a very special kind
of aerial trip over Vienna in the new Flyboard attraction.

Few of Viennas residential neighbourhoods have

changed so much in recent decades as Freihausviertel,
a small pocket of the citys fourth district bordering
the historic Wiedner Hauptstrasse and the bustling
Naschmarkt, and located just a few minute walk
from the Opera House. Formerly a neglected area
with broken windows and closed businesses,
Freihausviertel has metamorphosed into one of the
citys most desirable addresses where people would
be delighted to settle down if only there were free
apartments available. Along Schleifmhlgasse, the
areas main thoroughfare, posh boutiques and vintage
stores blend with hip restaurants and cafes; specialty
shops and art galleries mingle with booksellers and
champagne bars; young people enjoy their meals
and cocktails, and street festivals are held to make this
area even more appealing. A scaled-down version of
New Yorks Meatpacking District or Londons Hoxton,
Viennas Freihausviertel today lures some of the citys
most creative businesses and boasts great plans for the
future.
The annual Freihausviertel Festival held in the
district from 2-4 July 2015 is Viennas largest street
party; last year over 12,000 revellers showed up to
enjoy the multi-day party. With lots of art, culture
and culinary events, the festival is suitable for all
ages. It kicks off on Thursday with live shows: a
Beatles band, Thai and Balkan beats. Theres a hiphop dance crew and performances by The SuSis
and Curtis Jensen Rockabilly. On Saturday theres
a childrens programme, a police dog show and at
21:00 Carla Natasha from Cuba. Admission to the
festival is free.
GETTING THERE
The Freihausviertel is just a ve-to-ten-minute walk
from the city centre. Schleifmhlgasse is the main
boulevard artery of this district. The closest major metro
stop is Karlsplatz (lines U1, U2 and U4, trams 1 and 62).

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.

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.

Call us snobs, weve accepted the fact that the real Thai
food we crave for can probably not be found anywhere
in Vienna. Yet we applaud the eort of this restaurant
near Naschmarkt. The service is extremely friendly, and
the omnipresent images of Buddha combined with
soothing Thai music create the right setting. The pad thai
was delicious and good value. Sadly, smoke pervades
even in the non-smoking section.QG-3, Joanelligasse

Traditional decorations, portraits of the royal family on the

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.

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 and the Imperial Palace.

CAF DRECHSLER
The crisp, clean interior of this caf is beguiling; with its

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

another typical Viennese coeehouse. Its spacious, highceilinged room and lovely terrace make it a great place

turn-of-the-century venue to its former glory, but added
a touch of modern elegance. Comfy plush seats and silver
ball-shaped lamps bring a cosy contemporary feel, and the

design is denitely in accordance with one of Loos driving
principles: cosiness. A tiny space, made to look larger than it
is by the mirrors mounted along the walls above the wooden
panelling, has only a handful of tables so be prepared
to share with strangers. The beer selection is weak and
overpriced, but the cocktails are top-notch. Quentin Tarantino

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

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-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 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.

HOFBURG
Home to the Habsburg monarchy for more than six
centuries, the ten major buildings comprising the
Hofburg complex represent the splendour and inuence
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) ngerprint 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
Sightseeing
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

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
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 dedicated to this controversial
gure.QI-2, Kegelgasse 37-39, M1 tram Hetzgasse, tel.

world, and while modest in scale, it boasts a comprehensive

ornate reliquaries, monstrances, embroidered vestments, a
splinter of the true cross (plus one of the nails). Theres also

SECESSION
This remarkable building was conceived as a deliberate
opposition to the predominant artistic nostalgia of the early
20th century, and most of Vienna ridiculed its crowning
gold sphere as a goldenes Krauthappel or golden cabbage
when it was unveiled in 1908. 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 price will also snag you entry to the other
exhibitions.QA-3, Friedrichstrasse 12, MKarlsplatz, tel.

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 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 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 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.
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 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.
Jewish Vienna
THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
TODAY
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.
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 ed to London,
but despite the constant ostracism he experienced in
Vienna, he always longed for his former home.

Shopping
When it comes to shopping, the Vienna scene really runs
the gamut from large fashion chains to small boutiques,
from designer labels to obeat artisans. The sheer variety

FASHION
While Vienna denitely has no shortage of major brand names
featuring both extravagant luxury collections and informal
street-style fashion, we thought that rather than listing the everpresent Benettons, H&Ms and Zaras of the world, we would

people live and work - Freihausviertel, Naschmarkt and Neubau.

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 Stephanie Heidlmayr, concierge
at the Palais Coburg hotel. Mrs. Heidlmayr started
her career at the front desk of the Grand Hotel Wien,
working her way up to Assistant Front Oce Manager.
She spent a year in Kitzbhels Grand Tirolia Resort
before joining the Palais Coburg 1,5 years ago as the
Assistant Front Oce Manager and Concierge. She was
awarded membership of the Les Clefs dOr concierge
association due to her experience at the front desk and
knowledge of Vienna.
This makes our hotel special...
The Palais Coburg is a very special 5-star hotel in Vienna,
with a unique history linking, the wonderful garden,
the 2-star Michelin restaurant Silvio Nickol and a wine
cellar with more than 5,500 dierent wines.
Special restaurants I recommend...
Depending on the wishes of the guests I like to give
personal recommendations of restaurants where Ive
had a good experience myself.
Special sights I recommend...
The wonderful and relatively unknown streets behind
the Palais Coburg with their fantastic courtyards,
monasteries and churches would be my tip. I certainly
also recommend Grinzing with its cosy vineyards and
Heurigen restaurants is as a contrast to the city centre.
Vienna In Your Pocket...
This guide has an ideal format and more than enough
information for guests who arrive in Vienna relatively
unprepared.
