The stage of life in the city Vienna was the pompous center in the life of Empress Elisabeth. Numerous sights have to be visited via a stay in Vienna: © Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H. Castle Schönbrunn: Sisi spent her first time after the marriage with Emperor Franz Joseph in the imperial summer residence. Visit the zoological garden of Schönbrunn – the oldest zoo of the world is also a part of the world culture heritage. Elisabeth and Franz Joseph have moved in 1857 in the “Kaiserapartments” – the apartments of the Emperor and the Empress – they are still preserved in the original condition. There is also a Sisi Museum in the Hofburg – roughly 250 original objects show the visitors the life of the “Empress of hearts” from all facets of her life. The Wagenburg in the castle park of Schönbrunn impressed with the housing of the pompous state coaches of the K.u.K monarchy. Also, the imperial cart belongs to this prominent collection, which was probably built for the coronation of Joseph II in 1764 and from this moment forth used for different Emperor’s and King’s coronation of the Habsburgs. The life’s journey of Empress Sissi is very impressive comprehensible at the Wagenburg – from the marching cart as bride pending to Budapest’s coronation carriage, the Genécvé travelling cart and her hearse. Also robes of the Empress, her saddle and pictures of her horses are shown. copyright:KHM ... a message from the Salzkammergut Salzkammergut Touristik GmbH A-4820 Bad Ischl, Götzstraße 12 T: +43 (0)6132/24 000-0 F: +43 (0)6132/24 000-44 E: [email protected] INCOMING REISEBÜRO www.salzkammergut.co.at INCOMING TRAVEL AGENCY FN 358406v / ATU66217319 Arrangement: 3 x Overnight stay in Vienna in ****Schick Hotel Stefanie with breakfast buffet 1 x traditional Old Vienna style dinner in your hotel (consommé with frittata, escalope Viennese style, prime boiled beef, sugared pancake with raisins and many further typical traditional food) 1 x Sisi Ticket (entrance in the Kaiserappartments, silver chamber, Sisi museum and castle Schönbrunn) 1 x visit of the Kamel Mayerling 1 x Vienna Card – valid for 72 hours 1 x booklet Elisabeth – empress of Austria daily service hotline from 08:00 am – 06:00 pm (also on weekends) Local tax Rates per person and Arrangement in €: 15.04. – 02.07.21 02.07. – 06.09.21 06.09. – 31.10.21 Overnight in a double room 539,-- 489,-- Rates for sgl room, for upgrades and for additional nights on request and subject to availability! © concret Werbeagentur We recommend travel cancellation insurance.

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.

This situation has made the search for a single Austro-Hungarian identity so difficult that many historians have declared it impossible. Yet the Dual Monarchy possessed one potentially unifying cultural aspect that has long been critically neglected: the extensive repertoire of marches and patriotic music performed by the military bands of the Imperial and Royal Austro- Hungarian Army. This Militärmusik actively blended idioms representing the various nationalist musics from around the empire in an attempt to reflect and even celebrate its multinational makeup.
