HISTORY
Although the days are getting a little shorter, the air a
little cooler and the locals a little grumpier, there sure is
something to look forward to: Christmas is just around the
corner. It's the time when the Viennese and their guests
live it up with countless illuminations, joyful crowds at the
holiday markets, hot wine and sweet munchies, and the
hopes for a better future ahead.
In recent years, a dozen or so colourful Christmas markets
have mushroomed all over town, and many start as early
as mid-November. Overall, it wouldn't seem as if Vienna
has heard much of the financial crisis that has gripped
the world lately millions of euros are spent renovating
the city's architectural treasures, new shiny stores and
boutiques are popping up, and shoppers still look keen on
spending some cash here and there. So if you are in town
for this exciting season, take some time to wander the
city streets, pack in a few holiday gifts, cuddle up in cosy
coffee houses, or venture into traditional restaurants for a
romantic candlelight dinner.
In this edition of Vienna In Your Pocket we have initiated
a brief feature of the Jewish Vienna, which we intend to
develop in our further issues, focusing on the tumultuous
and often tragic past of the city's Jewish population and
on the problems facing its small, but active community
today. With the re-opening of the Jewish Museum and
several other memorial projects being sponsored by the
city and its districts, the story of Jewish Vienna is again
coming alive and is here for you to explore.
So, let us guide you through the 'city of dreams' during these
fascinating holiday times. We'll be happy if you share your
impressions with us. Write to vienna@inyourpocket.com.
Vienna's magnificent Schnbrunn
Palace bathes in light during the
annual Chri stmas market. Al l
across Vienna visitors will find
cosy Christmas markets selling
everythi ng from mul l ed wi ne,
food, toys and crafts, with music
and entertainment to keep your
toes warm. Read all about it on
page 10.

Vi enna i s a ci ty of dreams.
A ci t y ful l of l i fe, economi c
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 ci ty attracts
people. Vienna is growing; li fe
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. Hardly any other city in the world is as closely tied
to both medical tradition and medical advances as Vienna.
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 - just as the Vienna School of Medicine
became an international term, so too has Viennese
cuisine gained an international reputation.
Simply put, Vienna is the perfect mix: street art and the
State Opera are just as much a Viennese pair as the
Heuriger and first class cuisine. Internationally acclaimed
exhibitions in the Albertina or the Museumsquartier are
just as much a part of us as an improvised stage in
the outer districts or the film festival at Rathausplatz,
Europes biggest open air cinema.
The rich spectrum of cultural offerings makes Vienna
a leading cultural metropolis; one often hears the term
international capital of music connected with it. On the
one hand, there are the many composers and musicians
who have lived and worked in Vienna over the past few
centuries. On the other, there are the Viennese music
institutions with their grand tradition, which 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!

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.
Medieval times
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.
Beleaguered by Ottomans
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 city's fortifications had
been greatly expanded 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 hundreds of
buil di ngs were constructed or remodell ed i n the curl y
Baroque look by architects like Johann Bernhard Fischer
von Erlach and Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt. The local
nobility started constructing palaces in the now safe
countryside immediately outside the city, resulting in several
magnificent summer palaces, such as Palais Liechtenstein
and Schnbrunn.
19th 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 in
many ways: culture, arts and architecture blossomed, the city
walls were demolished in 1858 to make way for the grand
Ringstrae boulevard lined lined with impressive buildings,
the city expanded to include its suburbs, and the Danube
river which caused several 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, locally represented by Otto Wagner and the
Vienna Secession association.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire fell apart at the end of the First
World War and in 1918 the Republic of Deutsch-sterreich
(German-Austria) was created. Socialism quickly became
popular and "Red Vienna" saw many residential estates built,
but also shelling of locals supporting the socialist militia by
the Austrian Army during the 1934 civil war.
Adolf Hitler himself an Austrian triumphantly marched
into town and spoke from the Hofburg bal cony during
the Anschluss ('joining up') of Austria in 1938. Vienna's
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,
though the city centre was an international zone where
control was handed over to another power every month. 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 imporetant
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 city's outlook. Many companies took advantage of the
prime location and nearby Bratislava in Slovakia now forms
an economical unit of 3 million people with Vienna.

ARRIVAL & TRANSPORT
Vienna In Your Pocket vienna.inyourpocket.com

November - December 2011 vienna.inyourpocket.com
By plane
Viennas international airport is located in Schwechat, 18km
southeast of the city centre. After passing customs (for ar-
rivals from outside the Schengen zone) and collecting your
baggage, ATMs, banks and tourist information can be found
in the arrivals hall.
To get to town, theres a choice of rail or road. The City
Airport Train (CAT, +43 1 252 50, www.cityairporttrain.
com) departs every hal f hour between 06:05 and 23:35,
arriving at S-Bahn station Wien Mitte. The ride takes 16
minutes and costs 10 for a single trip (7,50 with the
Vienna Card), 18 for a return trip. Its cheaper to take a
regular S-Bahn train, departing from the airport to Wien
Mitte station approximately every 30 minutes between
04:34 and 00:18; tickets cost 3,60 and the ride takes
about 25 minutes.
Vienna Airport Lines buses (tel. +43 1 700 73 23 00, www.
viennaairportlines.at) depart every 30 minutes between
05:00 to 23:00, stopping off at U-Bahn Schwedenplatz, the
train stations Wien Meidling and Wien Westbahnhof and the
Vienna International Center (VIC), taking about 30 minutes.
A single ride costs 7, a return trip 12, and tickets can be
bought from the driver.
Taking a taxi to the centre takes about 15 minutes. If you just
hop into a waiting taxi outside, the ride will cost about 45,
including the fee for returning to the airport empty; it costs
33 if you mention to the driver or dispatcher that youd like
the set price (Pauschaltariff ).
By train
The new Wien-Hauptbahnhof (central station) is currently
under construction, so in the meantime trains from Prague,
Warsaw, Venice, Rome, Ljubljana, Zagreb and Graz arrive
at Wien-Meidling station, above the Philadelphiabrcke U-
Bahn station. Trains from Salzburg, Munich, Zurich, Berlin,
Frankfurt and Budapest arrive at Wien-Westbahnhof, which is
conveniently built on top of the Westbahnhof U-Bahn station.
Trains from Bratislava and Burgenland arrive at the temporary
Ostbahnterminal near the new central station, which is reached
on tram D from the Ringstrasse. All these stations have lug-
gage lockers and ATMs, and a tourist information desk office.
By bus
All international buses arrive at the Vienna International
Busterminal (VIB), which has ATMs and luggage lockers.
Right across the street is the Erdberg U-Bahn station, from
where its a 10 minute ride to the city centre.
By car
Major highways lead from Vienna west to Munich, south
to Venice, east to Budapest and north to Brno. Driving the
350km from Munich will take approximately four hours, the
250km from Budapest are covered in three hours. When
parking in Vienna, pay attention to the short-term parking
zones in the inner districts of the city; using the well-sign-
posted Park & Ride facilities (3 per day) in the outer districts
and taking a tram into town is a good idea.
By ferry
The Danube river is increasingly used for ferry routes to
Hungary, Slovakia and Germany. Ferries arrive at Anlegestelle
Reichsbrcke near U-Bahn station Vorgartenstrasse. Twin
City Liner boats and DDSG-Blue-Danube sightseeing ships
dock at Marienbrcke bridge near the Schwedenplatz U-Bahn
station. www.ddsg-blue-danube.at, www.twin-city-liner.at
The City Airport Train departs every half hour from the city
center (U-Bahn Landstrasse/S-Bahn Wien Mitte) to Vienna
International Airport. The ride takes 16 minutes and costs
10 for a single trip (7,50 with the Vienna Card) and 18
for a return trip. The City Air Terminal in the city centre
offers travellers the services of an international airport
terminal. Check in your baggage up to 75 minutes before
departure, get your boarding pass and enjoy the rest of
your journey to the airport comfortably and stress-free.
The City Check-In can only be used with a valid CAT ticket.
The building complex above the train station includes
130,000m of offices, shops and catering areas as well
as the CAT terminal, and is currently Viennas largest in-
ner city project development. Construction was started
in 2007 and is projected to be completed in 2012, with
CAT operating normally the entire time.

Driving & Parking
Parking in central Vienna is expensive; the 20 public garages
in the centre charge up to 5 per hour. Street parking tickets
(0,60 per 30 minutes) can be purchased from news agents
(Trafiken), the offices of Wiener Linien, many petrol stations,
major train stations and by SMS on the A1 mobile network.
Day visitors to Vienna are better off using a Park & Ride
facility in the outskirts (3 per day) and taking the tram or
U-Bahn to the city centre.
I f you plan to dri ve on Austrias hi ghways (all A and S
roads) youll need a vignette sticker on your windscreen
costing 7.90 for 10 days, which can be purchased at
petrol stations.
Public transport
Viennas extensive public transportation system, run by
Wiener Linien (Vienna Transport Authority), is an easy
and inexpensive way to get around town. The U- Bahn
(metro) runs daily from 05:00 to 00:30, and non-stop on
Fridays and Saturdays and before public holidays. Subur-
ban S-Bahn trains radiate outwards from the city to the
surrounding districts and towns. Trams are the best way
to get around the inner city sights, running every 5-15
minutes between 05:00 and 00:30. Buses mostly serve
Viennas suburbs and most visitors wont need them though
the handy night buses replace the U-Bahn from 00:45 to
05:00 on weekdays.
Tickets cost 1,80 for a single ride, though its well worth
getting a day ti cket i f youre planning on using publi c
transport more than a few times. A 24-hour ticket costs
5,70, a 48-hour ticket 10 and a 72-hour ticket 13,60;
a two-stop ti cket (Kurzstrecke) costs 0,90. Ti ckets
must be validated before getting on board. Tickets can
be purchased from multilingual machines at every U-Bahn
station and on buses and trams, though single tickets
bought on board cost 2,20 and only coins are accepted.
You can also visit the ticket sales offices of Wiener Linien
at the Stephansplatz, Karlsplatz, Westbahnhof and Wien
Mitte U-Bahn stations. The 72 hour ticket can also be
purchased at the Tourist Information Office. Children up to
six years old always travel free; children up to 15 ride free
on Sundays, holidays and during Viennas school holidays
(photo ID required). The Vienna Card costs 18,50 and
offers 72 hours of travel on public transport plus more than
200 discounts to museums, concerts, cafs, and more. It
can be bought at the Tourist Information Offices or from
the Wiener Linien offices.

November - December 2011 vienna.inyourpocket.com
VIENNA DISTRICTS BASICS
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. Magni ficent
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 pres-
tigious 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 ci tys largest park stretches from the Praterstern
metro and train station towards the Ernst Happel sta-
dium. Next to Praterstern is the Wurstelprater amuse-
ment park. Some say i ts better to avoi d this area after
dark. Leopol dstadt in Vi ennas 2nd distri ct used to be
the Jewish part of town. Today the j ewish communi ty is
again growing and you will find kosher bakeri es and a
number of synagogues.
3. Belvedere & Hundertwasserhaus
The third district is one of Viennas most desirable ad-
dresses. Several buil dings desi gned 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.
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.
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!

Crime & Safety
Vienna is a safe city to visit, and there's 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 well-
equipped for people in wheelchairs or otherwise requiring
assistance, and public transport is easy to use with its many
escalators, li fts 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
People's Party would completely dominate Austrian politics if it
weren't 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 it's common to round up
the sum a little.
Population
Austria (2009 estimate): 8,356,707

Vienna New Year's Trail
Christmas markets
Like elsewhere in Central Europe, the tradition of Christmas
markets (Weihnachtsmarkt) dates back to a distant past
and recreates this warm nostalgic feeling of the times gone
by. Historians believe that the first 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 commercialization
has undoubtedly left its traces. Vienna boasts about 20
Christmas markets, starting as early as mid-November and
staying open until December 24. 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, effervescent mulled wine with spices (Glhwein) and
invigorating fruit Punsch with rum. The markets also offer
exciting holiday entertainment for families with kids; they
can bake their own gingerbread cookies, paint Christmas
decorations or recite poems for Santa. Happy holidays!
Weihnachtsmarkt am Spittelberg
Several quai nt cobbl e-stoned streets i n thi s hi stori c

are transformed into a romantic Christmas village that has
become a favourite of many Viennese.

Day trip: Bratislava
Christmas Trips 2011
A pleasant aspect of visiting Vienna is the variety of pos-
sible day trips, some even crossing the border. Just 60
kilometres north lies the capital of Slovakia, Bratislava.
Despite the fact that they are sister cities and both used
to be a part of the vast Austro-Hungarian Empire, they
couldn't be more di fferent in terms of size and ambiance.
A small and easily manageable capital with the popu-
lation of about 450,000, Bratislava compl etel y li ves
up to its reputation as 'the little big city'. Its pleasant
medieval centre with narrow winding streets, a historic
castle on top of a hill overlooking the Danube, cosy out-
door cafs and friendly down-to-earth residents make
Bratislava a perfect escape from Vienna's urban jungle.
After the fall of the Iron Curtain 20 years ago, the city
reinvented itsel f as a growing metropolis where history
goes hand-in-hand with renovation and modernity. Take
a relaxing walk in the Old Town, climb the castle hill, dine
in one of the numerous restaurants or cafs, or shop in
some of the city's new shopping centres (which, much
to Bratislava's advantage, are also open on Sundays).
Reached in under an hour from central Vienna, this is a
day trip with a di fference.

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 Philharmonic's New
Year's 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 hun-
dred years they have been a symbol of Austria. And, as
ever, every Sunday the Vienna Boys' Choir sing solemn
mass in Vienna's Hofburg chapel, continuing a tradition
unbroken since 1498.

Masterpieces of European painting from the Hohen-

The Hohenbuchau Collection is one of the largest and most
diverse collections of northern European Baroque art to
have been assembled anywhere in the world over the past
few decades. While it is a truism that every private collection
reflects the personal taste of the person who has assembled
it, what distinguishes these holdings from those of other
private collections is a combination of intense focus on
the one hand and wide variety on the other. View works by
Brueghel, Rubens, Jordaens and others in this exhibition of
16-17th century art.

Melancholy and Provocation
On the occasion of i ts tenth anni versary, the Leopol d
Museum dedicates its 2011 autumn exhibition to the oeuvre
of Egon Schiele. The exhibitions title refers primarily to the
early oeuvre of the artist who died in 1918 at only 28 years
of age. For Schieles early main works, which he created from
1910 when he was only 20 years old, are characterized by
a strong sense of melancholy and sadness, but also by his
fascination with the unusual and the ecstatic.

Violence, trafc accidents, res and other catastrophes were his specialty.
Photographs shot from a close distance were his trademark: Nocturnal gures
on the streets of New York City blinded by his ash.
Thespectacular images of his 4x5 SpeedGraphic werefrequently publishedinpopular
tabloid newspapers of the time and present in their entirety a very important historic
document in the genre of street photography. The images gave inspiration to many
famous artists, suchas Stanley Kubrick, DianeArbus andAndy Warhol.
Long overdue, WestLicht is presenting the rst retrospective of Weegees work
in Austria. The exhibition will show approximately 250 original vintage prints by
the photographer, born in 1899 as Arthur Fellig, they mirror the everyday reality
of the urban working classes during the mid- 20th century.
Additionally WestLicht will present a selection of books, such as Naked City,
Weegees rst own publication, showing the variety of his oeuvre. Published in
1945 and celebrated as a photographic sensation, the book has become the
most important and inuential photographic book on New York.
The voyeuristic character of society seems to be the actual subject of many
of Weegees images. He captured them looking on, gawking at the scenes of
murders and violent incidents, poverty and homelessness, riots, parades, lm
premieres and stage shows. Next to this voyeurism, the sensitive documentary
style is what discerns Weegees reportages frommany of his contemporaries. His
work seems like criticism of the myth of a society without class borders and the
predominant racism in American society.
The exhibition is shown in cooperation with Auer Photo Foundation, Hermance,
Switzerland.

The Leopol d Museum cel ebrates i ts 10th anni -
versary i n the autumn of 2011. For the occasi on,

Melancholy and Provocation
- The Egon Schiele Project
From 23 September until 30 January 2012
The Leopold Museum houses the world's largest Egon
Schiele collection and offers a unique overview of the
work of this great painter and most signi ficant graphic
artist of Austrian Expressionism who died in 1918, at
only 28 years old. The exhibition title refers primarily to
the early oeuvre of the artist, as Schieles early works,
created from 1910 when he was only 20 years old, are
characterized by a strong sense of melancholy and
sadness, but also by his fascination with the unusual
and the ecstatic. His first solo exhibition, held at the art
salon Miethke in 1911, was dominated by elegiac works,
revealing dark and mystical colouring, a melancholy
subject matter as well as the artists radically physi-
cal manner of sel f-portrayal. The exhibition will not be
limited to a historical contemplation of Egon Schieles
masterpieces alone. Six select artists from the fields of
visual arts, dance and performance, including Claudia
Bosse, Gnter Brus, Philipp Gehmacher, Franz Graf and
Elke Krystufek, have been allocated one room each,
permitting their work to enter into a captivating dia-
logue with the oeuvre and personality of this eccentric
fin-de-sicle artist.

I n commemorati on of the 150th anni versary of the
renowned artists birth, Vienna is turning 2012 into a
grand, citywide spectacle dedicated to the life and works of
Gustav Klimt. His unmistakable style strongly symbolist
and daringly erotic inspired an explosive departure
from the traditionalism of the late 19th and early 20th
century. Rejecting the aesthetic principles of the Austrian
Artists Society, Klimt led the establishment of Viennas
Secession. This museum, once ridiculed as a golden
cabbage head and temple of tree frogs now graces the
back of every fifty-cent euro coin minted in Austria, and has
remained dedicated to the exhibition of the works of young
iconoclasts for more than 100 years. Meanwhile, Vienna
has become the epicenter of a global artistic movement
known as Jugendstil, a modernist aesthetic synonymous
with Art Nouveau, and still visible in facades and fixtures
throughout Vienna.
From October 2011 until the end of 2012, museums and
historical sites throughout Vienna will feature special
exhibitions highlighting the artists works and times. In
addition to documents and other contemporary objects
displayed at the National Library (Nationalbibliothek),
Knstlerhaus, Austrian Folklore Museum (Museum fr
Volkskunde) and Austrian Museum of Applied Arts (MAK),
Klimts last studio, restored to its original 1918 working
state, will provide visitors with an authentic, personal look
at the artists working and home environment. Even the
newly-opened Madame Tussauds features a lifelike Gustav
Klimt wax figure. Of course, no Klimt Year visit would be
complete without seeing his works themselves. In addition
Leopold Museum hosts many masterpieces by Gustav
Klimt such as the famous painting "Death and Life"
to the 22 original paintings displayed the Belvedere (the
worlds largest Klimt collection, which includes his most
famous work, The Kiss), special exhibitions can be seen
at the Albertina, Wien Museum, Leopold, Museum of Fine
Arts (Kunsthistorisches Museum), and Austrian Theatre
Museum (sterreichisches Theatermuseum).

Fashion photography conveys images and trends, it
drafts ideal images of femininity, elegance, and glamour
and then does away with them. Fashion photography
visualizes collective conceptions of beauty and docu-
ments the change of cultural interests. The "Fashion /
Photography from the F.C. Gundlach Collection" exhibition
is dedicated to this subject, and shows 200 works span-
ning from early studio photography to dynamic settings in
urban space, from surreal compositions to ironic views of
the fashion industry, from the mise-en-scne of dresses
to supermodels.

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 for another patron.
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 cuisine stands out for its superb cakes and pas-
tries, but a wide range of other unique dishes, like Wiener
Schnitzel and Tafelspitz are also steeped in local history.

18th centuries, Italian and French cuisine made their way

Many tourists and expats, especially those coming from the
countries where it is assumed that customer is king, are
often perplexed by the oddities of service in Vienna. Indeed,
the attitudes may range from extremely polite and friendly,
to professional but non-committal, to outright arrogant and
disrespectful. Some waiters and salespeople tend to think
that treating their customers in a less than decent and
courteous manner makes their daily sport and boosts their
ego. Locals claim that it has always been like this and justify
it with cultural differences and low salaries and tips for the
waiters. While this might well be the case, it is also true that
its your money youre spending, and you absolutely deserve
to be treated nicely for your money! Here are some tips for
visitors who have experienced first-hand what the Viennese
service with a smile sometimes really means. If you believe
youve been pointedly ignored or spoken to in a rude tone,
never hesitate to let them know loud and clear that you are
unhappy with the service. Even if it changes nothing, youll
be sure to make a statement. Remember also that the more
often they see you, the better service you are likely to get. The
Viennese revere their Stammkunden (repeat customers),
and even reserve tables for them without being certain they
would show up at all. In virtually every popular restaurant
or coffee house you will stumble upon several tables with
Reserviert signs and sometimes most tables have this
sign even though the place looks empty. Then its entirely
your right to demand that a table be made available for you.
Most venues listed here will, unless otherwise indicated, offer
good professional customer service, but if you experience
anything different, wed like to hear from you. Write to us at

Decoding the menu
dcor at Augarten Phiilipp Kreidl
Probably in no other city would you find 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 confec-
tions are as quintessential to Vienna as St. Stephans
Cathedral or the waltz. Craving some sweet fix 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 cho-
lesterol, these are the venues that you shouldnt miss.

excellence is still thriving. Mouthwatering cakes, dainty
chocolates, attractive open sandwiches and the aroma

mounted along the walls above the wooden panelling, has
only a handful of tables so be prepared to share with strang-
ers. The beer selection is weak and overpriced, but the
cocktails are top-notch. Quentin Tarantino apparently had a
blast here. QOpen 12:00 - 04:00, Thu, Fri, Sat 12:00 - 05:00.

Passage A-3, Burgring 1, MMuseumsquartier, tel.

definitely more on the upscale side of things: if you arent

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-profile 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.

an impressive antique chandelier and the soaring fresco
ceiling, theres some truth to the saying Wien ist anders
- Vienna is different. What was once a traditional coffee
house is now a popular hangout for local gay and lesbian
community. Caf Savoy is mostly frequented by mature
thirty-something men, but their female friends love to join
them here as well. QOpen 08:00 - 02:00.
Felixx A-3, Gumpendorfer Str. 5, MMuseumsquart-
ier, tel. +43 65 03 90 03 00, www.why-not.at. An
institution in Viennas gay scene since it was renovated
in 2004, Felixx attracts a young and hip crowd with its
funky cocktails, fresh beats and occasional events like
karaoke and drag shows. The huge crystal chandelier
in the middle of the bar reminds of the old Viennese
glass-making tradition, but otherwise the interior is quite
modern. QOpen 08:00 - 03:00.

WHAT TO SEE
Vienna In Your Pocket vienna.inyourpocket.com
The first district, surrounded by the majestic imperial build-
ings 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 visi-
tor. Using public transport to get to these places is easy.
Main sights
Belvedere C-4, Prinz-Eugen-Str. 27, tel. +43 1 79 55
70, www.belvedere.at. 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 dis-
played 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. QOpen
10:00 - 18:00, Wed 10:00 - 21:00. Admission 3.50-14.
Guides/audioguides 4/3.
Hofburg A-2, Heldenplatz, MVolkstheater, tel. +43
1 587 36 66, www.hofburg.wien.info. 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 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 as Sisi).
The dancing white Lippizaner horses of the Spanische Hofre-
itschule (Spanish Riding School) perform here, as well as the
boy sopranos and altos of the Wiener Sngerknaben (Vienna
Boys Choir). But even if you dont have time for a museum
trip, a stroll through the Hofburg complex is a definite must.

Hundertwasser-Krawinahaus I-2, Kegelgasse 37-
39, M1 tram Hetzgasse, tel. +43 1 710 41 16, www.
hundertwasserhaus.info. This vibrant and fanciful public
housing complex, now an iconic landmark of the work of
Austrias own architectural iconoclast, Friedensreich Hun-
dertwasser, 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 floors 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 figure.
Hofburg
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 Nou-
veau icons, The Kiss and Judith I.

Riesenrad I-1, Riesenradplatz 1, MPraterstern, tel.
+43 1 729 54 30, info@wienerriesenrad.com, www.
wienerriesenrad.com. The most recognizable attraction
of the Wurstelprater is undoubtedly the iconic Riesenrad,
or Ferris wheel at the parks entrance. 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 64.75 meters. The Riesenrad gained
international fame through the 1949 classic film, The Third
Man when one of the cabins was the scene of a pivotal argu-
ment between Orson Welles and Joseph Cotton. A visit to
Vienna can hardly be complete without a ride on this historic
giant and the breathtaking views from the top. QOpen 10:00

the Habsburg royalty truly embodies the opulence of the
Baroque era, from its topiary maze and minutely manicured
gardens to the ornately detailed interiors. Several tour
packages offer access to the highlights of its 1,441 rooms,
which have witnessed imperial births and deaths, the sign-
ings of treaties, legendary performances, and a veritable
whos who of European history. A visit to Schnbrunn isnt
complete without a walk around the park grounds. The
Tiergarten is the oldest continuously running zoo in the
world, and while modest in scale, it boasts a comprehensive
feeding schedule and well-designed enclosures. I f youre
the more intrepid sort, definitely opt for a hike up the hill
to the ornamental Gloriette, where you can refuel with
Kaffee and a Kipferl, just like Empress Maria Theresa
did more than 250 years ago.QPalace open 08:30-16:30;

TheahemUnder Side of Court Life:
Intimate Witnesses Exhibition at the
Hofmobiliendepot
According to the German saying, theres one room in
the house to which even the Emperor goes on foot.
With its special Intimate Witnesses exhibition, the
Hofmobiliendepot (Imperial Furniture Collection) explores
one particular aspect of court life often left unaddressed
in history class: exactly how the royals dealt with bodily
functions and hygiene. From pre-plumbing bathing and
bathroom procedures to elaborate personal grooming
routines, this fascinating coll ection presents court
li fe in gritty detail. Among the many curiosities is a
17th-century bourdaloue, a chamber pot specifically
designed for women attending the (one would assume,
very lengthy) sermons of Jesuit priest Louis Bourdaloue.
Remembering personalities among the Habsburgs just
got a whole lot more personal.

The Sigmund Freud Museum
Since 1971, the Sigmund Freud Museum has been welcoming
visitors at Berggasse 19 in Viennas ninth district. Here is where
Sigmund Freud lived and worked for 47 years until he was driven
into exile in 1938. In the meantime, Berggasse 19 has become
one of the worlds most famous addresses: it is where the founder
of psychoanalysis produced almost all of his writings. Pioneering
works such as The Interpretation of Dreams and Totem and
Taboo were written in the study. Today these rooms in the typical
late-nineteenth century house are open to the public, and they attract
60,000 80,000 visitors per year.
Exhibition on the Development of Psychoanalysis
In Sigmund Freuds former office and private apartment, the
Sigmund Freud Museum presents an exhibition documenting the
life and work of the founder of psychoanalysis. Unique film material
depicting the Freud family in the thirties can be seen in a video
room, while original objects from Freuds belongings, including
his offices waiting room and parts of his extensive collection of
antiquities, make tangible the surroundings in which his patients
were analyzed and a new science was born.
Art Collection and Temporary Exhibitions
A collection of contemporary art demonstrates the influence of
psychoanalysis on artistic creation and everyday live in the modern
era. Special exhibitions illustrate the origins of psychoanalysis, its
historical context and the history of its reception.
Remains of Memory, Disturbances in Reading
From the Sigmund Freud Museum Collection
The presentation Remains of Memory,
Disturbances in Reading From the
Sigmund Freud Museum Collection
takes visitors into the archive and the
library of the Sigmund Freud Museum.
Pictures, writings and objects, which
until now have been stored away out of
sight, are on display for the first time,
providing an overview of collecting
activity at the institution housed in the
rooms where Sigmund Freud lived and worked.
Remains of Memory, Disturbances in Reading serves to provide
visitors with a view into the museums back stage. Additionally,
it also poses fundamental questions regarding the archivability of
knowledge and the Freudian perspective on collecting, reading, and
documenting. On the one hand, Freud had little faith in archives:
in his psychoanalytic theory they are frequently described as sites
of censorship. On the other hand, his work made him an object
of public interest, and thus Freud himself became an object to be
collected.
First editions and corrected manuscripts from Sigmund Freud are
shown alongside works from psychoanalysts such as Richard Sterba,
whose emigration to the USA forced him to discontinue work on his
Dictionary of Psychoanalysis. Many private photos and writings from
Anna Freud, who also lived at Berggasse 19 and conducted analyses
there, are on view as well.

There are few cities in Europe where the Jewish population
has been so deeply ingrained, yet has experienced such
devastation during the persistent waves of anti-semitism
and in World War II, as Vienna. The historical, political and
economic contribution of the Jewish community into this
city's past and present can hardly be underestimated. It
would suffice to say that three of four Nobel Prize Winners
from Austria were Jewish. Lum, as were 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.
Early history
The first mention of Jews settling in Vienna brings us back
to the 12th century. By 1420 Jews comprised about 5%
of the city's population, but under Duke Albrecht V they
were expelled from the city, their property confiscated, and
many were brutally murdered in Erdberg outside Vienna.
Later in the 15th century they were allowed to return and
establish their own colony in Leopoldstadt, today the city's
second district. The community thrived and lived in relative
peace and prosperity until the reign of Empress Maria
Theresa, who in early 18th century introduced some laws
that substantially worsened the situation of the Jews. The
laws were later repealed by her son, Emperor Joseph II,
and Vienna became the center of Jewish culture in Central
Europe.
JEWISH VIENNA JEWISH VIENNA
Discover Jewish Vienna; the best place to start your
tour is in the redesigned Jewish Museum Vienna at
Dorotheergasse 11. The excavation of the medieval
synagogue on Judenplatz shows you what Jewish life
was like in the Middle Ages. In Seitenstettengasse in
the 1st district one also finds the main Synagogue and
the Jewish Community Center. You'll find numerous
Jewish establishments on a tour through the 2nd district
around the Carmelite quarter (Karmeliterviertel), as well
as around the new Hakoah Sport Centre in the Wiener
Prater. Get all the information you require in the Jewish

Jewish Renaissance
The years following the revolution of 1848 were quite stable
and prosperous for the Jewish community, notwithstanding
anti -semi ti sm that fl ared up now and then. Rel i gi ous
li fe was centered around two main synagogues, one at
Sei tenstettengasse whi ch today i s the onl y survi vi ng
synagogue from the pre-war period. The presence of Jews
became obvious in the city's social, economic and political
li fe, including the famous salons, such as the one run
by Fanny Arstein and frequented by the city's wealthiest
aristocracy. Leading politicians in Vienna, particularly of the
Social Democratic Party, were also Jewish, and they did all
they could to alleviate the growing right-wing sentiments
among the city's population at the turn of the century. In the
fields of culture and education, Jewish life was also growing.
Schools and theaters opened, and the first Jewish Museum
in the world was founded in Vienna in 1895.
The rise of anti-semitism
As the Jews were making strides in Viennese economic,
social and political li fe, the backlash against them was
constantly increasing. Anti-semitic feelings were formented
by many of Vienna's public officials and politicians, one of
the most radical of them being Dr. Karl Lueger, Vienna's
mayor from 1897 to 1910. His fiery anti-Jewish tirades had
irritated even Emperor Franz Josef who chose to ignore
him in the beginning, but was forced to accept his clout
following Lueger's reelection as Vienna's mayor for the fifth
time. Early in the 20th century, twenty-one members of the
extremely anti-semitic All-Deutsche Partei were elected into
the Austrian parliament. One of the early supporters of this
party was none other than Adolf Hitler, who later confessed
in his memoirs that people like Karl Lueger had greatly
influenced his political views.
World War II and the Holocaust
March 12, 1938, was the beginning of the most tragic period
for the Jewish community. On that day, Hitler marched into
Vienna and held a speech from the balcony of the Hofburg
Palace. Almost immediately, the aryan laws were enacted.
Jews were deprived of their civil rights, were not permitted
to own land or hold public office. On November 9, 1938, the
notorious Kristallnacht occurred, when the angry residents,
dri ven by the Nazi party, torched Jewi sh busi nesses
and synagogues. About 6,000 Jews were apprehended
and sent to the camp at Dachau that day. Following the
Wannsee Conference of 1942, the Jews were stripped of
their citizenship and mass deportations to concentration
camps ensued. The Jewish community in Austria which
had counted over 200,000 in 1938, was all but decimated.
More than 130,000 Jews were forced to leave the country
and about 65,000 were murdered. Less than 1,000 Jews
survived the catastrophe.
The Jewish community today
It took Austrian society almost fifty years to come to terms
with their less than glamorous role in the Holocaust. Traces
of anti-semitism continued to be popular until the 1980s, and
can still be felt to this day. Not until 1991 did the government
finally issue an official statement acknowledging their role in
the Third Reich. Meanwhile, the Jewish population of Vienna
has been growing since 1950s, primarily due to immigration
from Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and Iran.
Today it stands at about 14,000, with nearly 8,000 of them
members of the Jewish religious community (Israelitische
Kultusgemeinde). Vienna has fi fteen synagogues, a few
Jewish schools, several kosher stores and restaurants, and
a number of Jewish newspapers and magazines.
Jewish sights
The recently renovated Jewish Museum of Vienna is one of
the largest in Europe and has two locations in city centre. The
main museum at Dorotheergasse uncovers the Jewish history
of Vienna throughout the centuries and offers a number of
special exhibits, while the smaller Judenplatz location shows
archeological remains of a 500-year old synagogue that once
stood here, as well as a sombre monument to the Austrian
victims of the holocaust designed by the British sculptor
Rachel Whiteread. The Stadttempel at Seitenstettengasse is
the only synagogue to survive the war and is open to visitors
on guided tours only. Don't miss the other Jewish sights,
such as Theodore Herzl Stiege the stairs named after the
father of Zionism as well as the monument to the victims of
Gestapo at Morzinplatz. The Errinern fr die Zukunft project
('Remember for the Future') , initiated by several districts in
Vienna, most notably Leopoldstadt and Mariahilf, exhibits
numerous smaller memorial signs and sidewalk plaques
commemorating the Jewish residents of these neighborhoods
who were deported and murdered in the concentration camps.
Finally, the Simon Wiesenthal Documentation Center contains
plentiful information on the Austrian role in the holocaust and the
anti-Nazi resistance movement. The city has opened a Jewish
Welcome Center at Stephansplatz where further information
about the Jewish life and culture in Vienna is available.
Jdisches Museum (Jewish Museum) B-2, Doro-

it opened, the Jewish Museum divides its extensive collection
of Jewish historical and religious artifacts between two city
centre locations. Most of the exhibitions are displayed in
the Palais Eskeles at the Dorotheergasse location, while the
Judenplatz facility, recently renovated and reopened to the
public, features the foundations of a 15th century synagogue
and the medieval Jewish ghetto, as well as Rachel Whit-
ereads impressive monument to the 65,000 Austrian Jews
who were exterminated during the Holocaust.QOpen 10:00

Vienna has been welcoming foreigners to its streets for
hundreds of years. Once the capital city of a huge empire
with over 40 million inhabitants, it has traditionally been a
very international city. In the years after World War II and
during the first decades of the Cold War, Vienna found
itsel f isolated between the two blocks and was known for
its sleepiness and greyness. The city started to change
from the 1970s when Chancellor Kreisky managed to bring
the UN's European headquarters to the city. Since then
a number of important international organizations have
settled in and around Vienna, contributing to its refreshed
international character.
The city was only really kickstarted after the fall of the Iron
Curtain in 1989, allowing it to benefit from its geographical
location in the heart of Central Europe, and strengthening
its historical ties to the neighboring countries to the east
and southeast. Especially after the 2004 enlargement of
the EU, when 10 new countries of which four are Austria's
nei ghbours j oined the European Union, international
enterprises have sought to open their CEE headquarters
in Vienna.
In Vienna the link between tradition, culture, quality of life and
the features of a top business location is unique.
Vienna with 1,7 million inhabitants is currently one of the
economi call y strongest ci ti es in Europe, an economi c
center in the heart of Europe that is attractive in terms
of taxes for both investors and businesses. It's the seat
of the headquarters of 18 international organizations and
200 headquarters of international companies. Its airport
connects 43 destinations in Eastern Europe, with more
than 600 flights per week, and the ci ty is the biggest
academic location in the German-speaking area. Besides
this Vienna is also one of the safest cities in Europe with
top posi ti oni ng i n the areas of personal safety, l egal
Living and working abroad has become an issue for an
increasing number of people. In todays world, mobility
is indispensable for both companies and employees.
In recent years, the influx of international companies
into Vienna has increased steadily. At present, around
20,000 highly-quali fied international employees are
working in the Austrian capital. In order for expatriates
and their families to get off to a good start, the Expat
Center Vienna was brought into being by the City of Vi-
enna and the Vienna Business Agency. Whether it's your
first time in Vienna, if you have experience living abroad
or if you only just preparing for your great adventure, the
Expat Center Vienna is your central point of contact. It
offers free counseling and support with all of the issues
related to your professional and private start in Vienna.
The Expat Center is equipped in line with the latest
European standards, serves as the first point of contact
for international key employees such as managers,
entrepreneurs, researchers, scientists, and diplomats.
According to the one-stop shop principle, expatriates and
their families are provided with all the initial information
they need. Issues relating to residence permits, insur-
ance, schools are all addressed in the advisory service
for expatriates free, individual and customized. The
Expat Center helps with an efficient, pleasant and suc-
cessful start to life in Vienna. The center also focuses on
establishing networks both within the expat community
and with the Viennese people and companies. A broad
variety of activities and events ensure that expatriates
and their families find their way around Vienna right from
the start. Start with the website www.expatcenter.at

cessful start in Vienna.

Wiener Porzellanmanufaktur Augarten, the second
oldest porcelain manufactory in Europe, was founded in
1718. Te white gold from Vienna has been lovingly
moulded and shaped, glazed and painted by hand ever
since; every single item of nest Augarten porcelain is
just unique now as it was then.
Design and artistic value reect collaboration with
generations of well-known artists. Augarten upholds
this tradition, working closely with some of the most
respected designers of our day.

Pinocchio
Pinocchio has a long nose. He is an adventurer. If he
falls down, he immediately gets up. He is a tumbler. He
is denitely cheeky: if he gets nudged he nudges as well.
But he is always cheerful, unpretentious and likeable:
Pinocchio with the long nose. His daddy is Philipp Bruni,
not Gepetto, and he is a designer. Pinocchio is not carved
of wood but of porcelain - the most precious, handmade
Viennese porcelain from Augarten. Now Pinocchio goes
Billard the team leader in pure white and his 15 friends
are ready to play with colours and numbers.
ORBIT Design Marco Dessi 2010
Orbit (lat. orbita tracks) is in the aerospace the sphere of an object over a
celestial body. Eight planets are circling around the sun Mercury, Venus, Earth,
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Te service Orbit consists of eight peaces and is a commissionable work for the
Viennese porcelain manufactory Augarten. It is not a classic service as such; every
part of this system is like the planets in its own dimension. Te user can utilize
every part of the service very functional. Te combined and creative elements
of this porcelain series is the unglazed, silky smooth polished boarder, which
every part of this service has. Tis board will be polished after the glaze ring by
1380C with corundum bricks and rubber. Due to this polishing this service is
very smooth and less sensitive to dirt; in addition it has a semi matt surface and is
therefore a contrast to the elegant glazed porcelain.
Marco Dessi about Orbit:
Te phase of development during the production sequence was intensively studied, in
order to experiment on the dierent design options. Te rough copy
should trash out the dierent technical possibilities of a manufactory
as well as of the porcelain technicians.
Te target was to develop a service, which is suitable for every day,
versatile and contemporary, but on the other hand it should reect the
charm and the intelligence of a traditional company. Te polishing of
the plates and of the boards of cubs is a normal productions stage. At
Orbit this step was particularly captured. Te board will develop to a
ne semi matt polished band, which will be a contrast to the glazed
surface. Terefore this pattern is fully embedded in the production
ow. Playing with the materials of porcelain draws through to the
whole service and therefore gives it a unique touch.
