Welcome in Vienna ! Information Booklet Welcome in Vienna ! We are happy to see you here, at the 2nd International Conference on Nanomaterials by Severe Plastic Deformation Fundamentals – Processing – Applications ¨ Location of Welcome Reception, Conference Auditory, Registration & Tourism Desks The conference starts with a Welcome Reception on Sunday, Dec. 27, 16:00, in Palais Strudlhof, a historic and prominent building from the time of Austrian Monarchy (its site is marked by number 2 in the map at the end of this booklet). Participants are asked to register and submit their manuscripts already there, in order to avoid a big rush in the morning of Monday when time and space will be quite limited. Moreover, participants are warmly recommended to attend this reception, with the high intention to allow for first and nice contacts among them. Sandwiches and good drinks will be offered for free to bring us closer to this goal. The conference will be held at the famous Boltzmann Center of the University Vienna where formerly Lise Meitner, Erwin Schrödinger and Erich Schmid gave their lectures. This center hosting also the Materials Physics Institute are situated at Boltzmanngasse 5, A-1090, Vienna; its location has been marked in the booklet’s map by number (1). The oral presentations will take place in the large auditory of the Materials Physics Institute in third floor. The desks for registration/information, and for tourism (travel agency “Der Schwentenwein”) will be arranged right of the entrance of auditory. The registration desk will be continuously open on Monday from 7:30 to 18:30, on Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 to 18:00, and on Wednesday and Friday from 8:00 to 14:30. The tourism desk will be open on Monday from 7:30 to 9:00, and all days from Tuesday to Friday from 8:00 to 9:00.

Innsbruck: StudienVerlag, 2006. 333 pp. EUR 37.80 (paper), ISBN 978-3-7065-4076-6. Reviewed by Peter Utgaard (Cuyamaca College)Published on HABSBURG (January, 2011) Commissioned by Jonathan Kwan Remembrance in Vienna In the early 1980s, historian Robert Knight discovered the 1948 cabinet papers where the Austrian leaders discussed the question of restitution for Jewish victims of the Nazi regime in Austria. Knight’s revealing of the words of Interior Minister Oskar Helmer--“I am in favor of dragging this matter out”-- spelled out exactly how Austrian policy would function. After publication of Knight’s book (resisted by the government), Helmer’s phrase became part of Austria’s political lexicon.[1] Knight’s find was concrete evidence of a postwar political culture that was dominated by what historians would later call the victim myth, victim thesis, and other names. In postwar Austria, the political system and the government was characterized by Proporz, the power sharing and divvying of patronage spoils by the two main political parties, the Socialist Party of Austria (SPÖ) and the conservative Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP). The rebirth of an independent Austria, reversing the Nazi annexation of 1938, came courtesy of the Four Powers who had defeated Nazi Germany. The political leadership in Austria seized this opportunity and immediately adopted a doctrine that Austria and most Austrians were unequivocal victims of Nazi Germany.

  • Pietas Austriaca? the Imperial Legacy in Interwar and Postwar Austria
    religions Article Pietas Austriaca? The Imperial Legacy in Interwar and Postwar Austria Dieter A. Binder ID Chair of Cultural Studies, Andrássy University, Pollack Mihály tér 3, 1088 Budapest, Hungary; [email protected] Received: 7 July 2017; Accepted: 21 August 2017; Published: 29 August 2017 Abstract: This paper aims to outline the specific Habsburg character of Austrian Catholicism through a study of Pietas Austriaca, the supposed Habsburg tradition of Catholic piety, and its role in the First and Second Austrian Republics. It analyzes the narrative of Austrian history presented by the Heldendenkmal, or Heroes’ Monument, which was erected in Vienna in 1934. Further, it argues that Pietas Austriaca was linked in the postwar period to a notion of Heimat (Home, Homeland) and served the needs of Austrian political Catholicism, which was seeking to recruit former National Socialists. Keywords: Habsburg; Austria; empire; Catholicism; Pietas Austriaca; Christian Social Party; Austrian People’s Party; Heimat; Heldendenkmal Political Catholicism utilised its commitment to the concept of Pietas Austriaca to define its political position towards both Social Democratic Austro-Marxism and National Socialism. After 1945, the Roman Catholic Church served as a vehicle for the denazification of former National Socialists. By creating the “Heimat”, it endeavoured to establish a common front against Social Democracy in order to implement a masked bourgeois bloc. Ultimately, this would to some extent explain the rise of the Austrian Freedom Party from 1986 on. “The Pietas Austriaca, i.e., Austrian piety—referring here to Austria as Casa d’Austria, i.e., the House of Austria, and not as a geopolitical entity—was propagated in the Baroque era as the most fundamental virtue of the Habsburg dynasty.

The current European agenda commands us to tackle these topics as broadly as possible, and a civil society input is mostly needed. Hence, the Lifelong Learning Platform dedicates the 2018 Annual Conference to the ties between education and culture. Those two worlds are often close to each other, and yet there are little structures in place to build a true partnership. Within these few days, we would like to address the real question behind this phenomenon: how to create lifelong learning societies through synergies between education and culture? We will be drawing from our experience, building on our members’ expertise, pooling resources and fighting for what we stand for: to build more inclusive societies based on education.” David López President of the Lifelong Learning Platform rue de l’Industrie, 10 - 1000 Bruxelles tel: +32 (0)2 893 25 15 e-mail: [email protected] DOWNTOWN VIENNA AND ITS SURROUNDINGS Greater Vienna Inner city VENUES Star Inn Premium Hotel Wien Hauptbahnhof Gerhard-Bronner-Straße 5, 1100 Wien, Austria Technische Universität Wien Karlsplatz 13, 1040 Wien, Austria Rathauskeller Rathauspl. 1, 1010 Wien, Austria Das Columbus Columbuspl. 6, 1100 Wien, Austria Did you know?

    BALL INFORMATION October 2019 2019 HOFBURG Silvesterball – Time to Celebrate A panoply of artistic expression, enjoyment and dancing The first ever New Year’s Ball at the Hofburg took place on 31 December 1969. 50 years later we will be staging a one-of-a-kind anniversary celebration. And we certainly know how it’s done: inspired by the theme of Time to Celebrate, the jubilee event will get this year’s Viennese ball season off to a dazzling start. First-class entertainment and a sumptuous gala dinner set the scene for the epitome of Viennese ball culture in the unique state rooms of Vienna’s imperial Hofburg palace. This year’s experience features no end of inspired ideas from the organisation committee led by the ball’s artistic directors, Christof Cremer and Herbert Fischerauer. Guests will experience a blend of history, the present day and the future in the Hofburg state rooms. 50 years young and still going strong The beautiful floral decorations, the popular Silvesterball fanfare and the formal ceremony performed by the dancers from the Vienna State Ballet, never fail to work their magic on guests at the official opening of the magnificent Grand staircase. “It gives me great pleasure to get the world-famous Viennese ball season off to a swinging start at the Hofburg with its beautiful state rooms,” said Managing Director Alexandra Kaszay. For the opening of the state rooms, the debutantes from the Elmayer dance school make their entrance to the Festsaal and Zeremoniensaal decked out in dazzling headwear from Mühlbauer. “I am especially looking forward to the world premiere of Happy Birthday HOFBURG Silvesterball by the internationally-acclaimed composer Pavel Singer.

It is especially necessary since this art and work is not well known, so that no one can practice it who is not, so to speak, born to it, or who does not have much talent and good judgment. For this reason and also because it is closely related to sculpture, whose arms are the support of its life, it is very highly esteemed… it is a profitable and skilful art and in large part delightful. [BIRINGUCCIO, IN PIROTECHNIA, 1540] Introduction The history of metal casting is the history of metal- lurgy. Metals produced in a furnace are melted and cast to form useful objects, whether a piece of jewelry, an agri- cultural tool, or a weapon. Objects made of gold, silver, copper, bronze, brass, tin, lead, and iron conserved in museums are a testimony to the cleverness of the ancient metal workers.
