Over the centuries the castle has been expanded and been given various new purposes. Emperor Friedrich III. had the castle fundamentally rebuilt, largely giving it its current appearance. Emperor Maximilian I was born and baptized in the castle in Wiener Neustadt and spent his youth here. From here the Holy Roman Empire was expanded. The empire grew so large that “the sun never set“.

  • The Paleoenvironment of an Early Middle Miocene Paratethys
    Geobios (2002) Mémoire spécial n° 24 www.elsevier.com/locate/geobios The paleoenvironment of an early Middle Miocene Paratethys sequence in NE Austria with special emphasis on paleoecology of mollusks and foraminifera Oleg Mandic a,*, Mathias Harzhauser b, Silvia Spezzaferri a, Martin Zuschin a aInstitute of Paleontology, University of Vienna, Althanstrasse 14, 1090 Vienna, Austria bMuseum of Natural History, Burgring 7, BOX 417, 1014 Vienna, Austria Received 21 September 2001; accepted 18 February 2002 Abstract In a multidisciplinary approach including data on paleoecology of foraminifera, mollusks, balanids and coralline algae, as well as on taphonomy, sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy and regional geology, the environmental reconstruction for the Niederleis Basin (a satellite depression of the Vienna Basin and important fossiliferous site of the Central Paratethys region) is provided. The data came from two sections in proximal (section Buschberg) and distal (section Bahnhof) position relative to the northwesterly exposed basement chain. The accomplished analysis confirmed the presumed bathymetric and paleogeographic differences. A paleodepth of about 100 m for the Buschberg- and up to 500 m for the Bahnhof-section was indicated by foraminifera. Due to the short distance of the Buschberg-section to the paleoshore, a drowned paleocliff paralleling the tectonic margin of the Niederleis Basin is assumed. Synsedimentary tectonic sagging of the basin is inferred for the sequence at Bahnhof. Whereas the fossil record from autochthonous sediments implies deepening upward, the mixed fossil assemblage from tempestites implies shallowing of the supply center, respective gradual installation of extended onshore to lagoonal habitats. This is in accordance with the inferred biostratigraphic position within the late Lower Lagenidae Zone characterized by the installation of the high stand system tract in the Vienna Basin.
