Wiener Neustadt in MOTION!
Wiener Neustadt Discover. Experience. Live. CITY IN MOTION! ATTRACTIONS AND TOURS EVERYTHING IS NEW IN WIENER NEUSTADT The birthplace of Emperor Maximilian I, Wiener Neustadt is of great historical significance. The history of Wiener Neustadt, spanning centu- ries, is so exciting that it is quite surprising that the gates to the important sights were not opened much earlier.

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“. -
Facies and Synsedimentary Tectonics on a Badenian Carbonate Platform in the Southern Vienna Basin (Austria, Central Paratethys)

Δ88sr/86Srsrm987 and Elemental Pattern to Characterise Groundwater and Recharge of Saline Ponds in a Clastic Aquifer in East Austria

Therefore, shallow, artesian and thermal groundwaters of the investigated aquifer along with rainfall and rivers were analysed using (MC) ICP-MS. The n(87Sr)/n(86Sr) ratio and elemental pattern changed with aquifer depth as a result of progressing bedrock leaching and dissolution with increasing groundwater residence time. The n(87Sr)/n(86Sr) ratio of shallow groundwater below saline ponds of 0.71019 ± 0.00044 was significantly different from thermal groundwater of 0.71205 ± 0.00035 (U, k = 2). -

Burgenland Winegrowing Area: Hareter Vineyard Wine
Burgenland Winegrowing area: Austria’s most full-bodied red wines grow under the influence of the continentally warm Pannonian climate in the country’s most eastern state. The Ruster Ausbruch, one of the world’s most famous sweet wines, is a focus of regional wine identity. Right in the south, the Eisenberg offers the best conditions for red wines of the finest minerality and incomparable elegance. Blue Frankish with its exceptional depth of fruit and length grows in the Mittelburgenland and to the north of the Rosalia mountains. A unique terroir for complex white wines is located on the eastern slope of the Leitha mountains. The Blue Zweigelt with its powerful, juicy red wines dominates to the east of Lake Neusiedl, even if Blue Frankish and Sankt Laurent also provide excellent results. Hareter vineyard Thomas Hareter’s organic vineyard is situated in the Weiden am See district on the eastern bank of Lake Neusiedl. The history of the agricultural family-run business goes back to the 18th century. In 2011, Thomas Hareter took over his parents’ business which was certified as organic from 2009 and has been managing it with his wife Claudia ever since. Covering an area of 15 hectares, 50% of the vineyard is covered with red and white vines that benefit from the lake’s own micro-climate and the clayey-gravelly soils. These lend the wines their mineral touch and a cool fresh fruity taste. Thomas Hareter strives to produce harmonious wines that are easy to store from the mostly local vines, such as Zweigelt, Blue Frankish, white Burgundy and Welschriesling. -
And Seewinkel Gravel Beds - Implications of Middle Pleistocene Uplift and Neighboring Subsidence in the Northern Burgenland (Austria) H
Geophysical Research Abstracts, Vol. 8, 06293, 2006 SRef-ID: 1607-7962/gra/EGU06-A-06293 © European Geosciences Union 2006 The Parndorf- and Seewinkel gravel beds - implications of Middle Pleistocene uplift and neighboring subsidence in the Northern Burgenland (Austria) H. Häusler Center for Earth Sciences, University of Vienna, Austria ([email protected]) The Pleistocene terraces in the Alpine foreland of Austria are characterised by a suc- cession of oldest terraces at highest positions stepwise followed up by younger terraces in deeper positions down to the recent bed of River Danube and its tributaries. Based on this principle (regarding loess cover, palaeo-soils, soil successions, cryoturbation and fossils if any), several terraces in Lower Austria with a basement ranging between 60 and 120 meters above river Danube are supposed to be of Upper Pliocene/Early Pleistocene age. Terraces with a basement at 45 meters above River Danube in gen- eral date as Günz, and at 17-30 meters above this river as Mindel. Around Vienna the so-called Hochterrasse (high terrace; Gänserndorf terrace) with its base at about 16 meters above the River Danube is of Riß age, and the Niederterrasse (low terrace; Prater terrace), which is situated about 8 meters above this river, is of Würmian age. This method of indirect dating of terraces according to their height above River Danube cannot be applied, however, when terraces were tectonically tilted or when gravel beds were deposited in regions of Pleistocene subsidence such as the Little Hungarian Plain (Kisalföld). A new approach of paralleling Pleistocene terraces of the Northern Burgenland (Parndorfer Platte - Seewinkel) with Pleistocene deposits in Northwestern Hungary promotes discussion of Middle Pleistocene palaeogeography related to fault tectonics. -

The 3D survey used for this study is positioned close to the margin of the Vienna Basin, which increases the stratigraphic importance of this analysis. Distal basin facies, so far only known from seismic and well data, are compared and correlated to their proximal equivalents in surface outcrops. The investigated part of the basin is characterized by a syn-sedimentary horst and graben structure, with Badenian (Langhian and Lower Serravallian) platform carbonates on the elevated areas and fine-grained marine clastic sediments in adjacent subbasins. This integrated approach allows the separation of the Neogene sediments in the southern Vienna Basin into five Middle and Upper Miocene 3rd order depositional cycles: the Badenian is separated into three depositional cycles and the Sarmatian (Middle and Upper Serravallian) and the Pannonian (Tortonian) represent one depositional cycle each. The three Badenian cycles are correlated with the TB 2.3., TB 2.4. -
Fertility Decline in the Southeastern Austrian Crown Land. Was There a Hajnal Line Or a Transitional Zone?
Fertility Decline in the southeastern Austrian Crown land. Was there a Hajnal line or a transitional zone? Peter Teibenbacher Working Paper 2012-02 September 28, 2012 GRAZ OF OF Working Paper Series Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences Karl-Franzens-University Graz ISSN 2304-7658 sowi.uni-graz.at/de/forschen/working-paper-series/ [email protected] UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY Fertility Decline in the southeastern Austrian Crown land. Was there a Hajnal line or a transitional zone? Peter Teibenbacher a,* Working Paper 2012-02 September 28, 2012 Abstract There is a substantial body of literature on the subject of fertility decline in Europe during the first demographic transition. Historical demographic research on this topic started in Western Europe, but, as a result of the discussion of the Hajnal line thesis, the decline in fertility has been more thoroughly explored for Eastern Europe (especially Poland and Hungary) than for areas in between, like Austria. This project and this working paper will seek to close this gap by addressing the question of whether the Austrian Crown lands in the southeast represented not just an administrative, but also a demographic border. Using aggregated data from the political districts, this paper will review the classic research about, as well as the methods and definitions of, fertility decline. Our results show that, even the Crown land level, which was used in the Princeton Fertility Project, is much too high for studying significant regional and systemic differences and patterns of fertility changes and decline. This process is interpreted as a result of economic and social modernization, which brought new challenges, as well as new options. -

In that disgraceful year (for Austria) the Habsburg Empire launched a campaign with the greatest military contingent, of about 630.000 men. This powerful army, however, was stopped by one of the more brilliant and hazardous campaign of Napoléon, was battered and weakened till the following years.
