As usual, the congress will bring together members of Europa Nostra and other representatives of the ever-growing cultural heritage movement from all over Europe. The Congress is being organised as a joint venture between Europa Nostra, the member organisation, Österreichischer Burgenverein, and the country representation, Europa Nostra Austria. We are pleased that the Congress will be attended by a large number of heritage professionals, volunteers from all over Europe, many prominent invited guests, as well as, high representatives of EU Institutions, the Council of Europe and UNESCO. We are particularly honoured that H.E. Dr. Heinz Fischer, Federal President of Austria, has granted his patronage to the Congress. The Congress will start with meetings of the Europa Nostra Board and Council on 2 and 3 May. An excursion to view some exceptional sites in the City of Vienna will be available for those who do not attend the Council Meeting on 3 May. In the evening the City of Vienna will host a reception in the imposing neo-gothic Rathaus. The General Assembly is scheduled for Sunday 4 May. That evening, our President, Maestro Plácido Domingo, will perform the title role of Verdi’s ‘Nabucco’ in the Vienna State Opera house and many of us will have the privilege to see and hear this performance. WELCOME The always-inspiring Excellence Fair will be held at the Technical University on Monday 5 May, during which the 2014 Award Winners will present their achievements. Following the Excellence Fair, the traditional industrial heritage visit will be organised by Europa Nostra’s Industrial and Engineering Heritage Committee IEHC.

I’m contemplating this question over a frothy café latte in the tiny Blue Bar of Vienna’s Hotel Sacher, where the plush velvet booths are deep navy, the walls a silk brocade of peacock, the marble tables veined cobalt and even the 19th-century damsels in the oil paintings clothed in teal and azure. The hotel’s long-time former owner, Anna Sacher, understood atmosphere. Blue is the calm of water, of the sky in sunlight. Perhaps because it is the predominant colour of our world, even its coolest shades produce a warm emotion. Presiding over her elegant hotel, cigar in hand and a cluster of French bulldogs in tow, Sacher not only ) had exacting standards (a culture that remains firmly ight (r intact at Austria’s top hotel nearly 140 years later), she ek o was also able to create spaces that guests could feel ekk o instantly at home in.

The Romans were forced to leave the region during the fourth century as northern tribes regained their foothold in Eastern Europe. By 1155, the Babenbergs declared Vienna a “civitas” indicating that it was developing into a well-ordered community.

  • I-Spy in Harry Lime's Vienna to Mark the Centenary of Graham Greene's Birth, Paul Gogarty Takes a Trip Through the Locations of the Third Man
    I-spy in Harry Lime's Vienna To mark the centenary of Graham Greene's birth, Paul Gogarty takes a trip through the locations of The Third Man. (Filed: 25/09/2004) The Vienna Philharmonic was in town and the Opera House had already clocked up half its 300-plus annual performances. City secrets: Graham Greene's spy novel was set in the Austrian capital I, however, was in Austria not to applaud the achievements of the Habsburgs but to explore the shadowy underworld of Graham Greene's The Third Man, that masterpiece of atmosphere and espionage that started life as a film treatment before being turned into a novel. The film that Carol Reed made from Greene's script happens to be my all-time favourite movie. In 1948, when the novelist first arrived in bomb-blasted Vienna to research the script, he found every fourth home in ruins and sierras of rubble in the streets. All he had by way of a storyline was the kernel of an idea about a dead man walking. Over the next three weeks, however, through his network of intelligence contacts, Greene found the other two essential ingredients for his story: a deadly black market in watered-down penicillin, and a network of sewers. The sewers that "the worst racketeer who ever made a dirty living in this city" vanished into are still there. The city's special Wega police department - Greene calls them the Sewer Police - continues to patrol the labyrinth whenever world leaders are in town. And the film continues to resonate throughout this imperial city.
