  • Vienna Guide
    April 22—24, 2015, Vienna, Austria Hotel Park Royal Palace Vienna Guide SIGHTSEEING Vienna is old, Vienna is new… and the sights are so varied: from the magnificent Baroque buildings to “golden” Art Nouveau to the latest architecture. And over 100 museums beckon… ALBERTINA The Albertina has the largest and most valuable graphical collection in the world, including works such as Dürer’s “Hare” and Klimt‘s studies of women. Its latest exhibition presents masterpieces of the Modern era, spanning from Monet to Picasso and Baselitz. As the largest Hapsburg residential palace, the Albertina dominates the southern tip of the Imperial Palace on one of the last remaining fortress walls in Vienna. ANKER CLOCK This clock (built 1911–14) was created by the painter and sculptor Franz von Matsch and is a typical Art Nouveau design. It forms a bridge between the two parts of the Anker Insurance Company building. In the course of 12 hours, 12 historical figures (or pairs of figures) move across the bridge. Every day at noon, the figures parade, each accompanied by music from its era. AUGARTEN PORCELAIN MANUFacTORY Founded in 1718, the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory is the second-oldest in Europe. Now as then, porcelain continues to be made and painted by hand. Each piece is thus unique. A tour of the manufactory in the former imperial pleasure palace at Augarten gives visitors an idea of how much love for detail goes into the making of each individual piece. The designs of Augarten have been created in cooperation with notable artists since the manufactory was established.

    Content AgendaEvent: 10th Agendaforum AgendaFocus: 5th Viennese Neighbour's Day AgendaNetworking: LA21 Summit in Graz AgendaGlobal: UN-Conference Rio+20 AgendaForum: 10th Agendaforum The 10th Agenda Forum took place on the 25th of June at the FahRADhaus inside the Viennese Planungswerkstatt. The main focus lied on the conclusion of the first LA21 Plus phase that took place in the districts Wieden, Alsergrund, Donaustadt and Liesing and the 10-year anniversary of the Association LA21 Wien. The beginning was marked by a panel discussion about “Participation and cooperatie Planning – more than a temporary fashion” with city councilwoman Jennifer Kickert, city-psychologist Cornelia Ehmayer as well as urban planner Rudolf Scheuvens. Cornelia Ehmayer emphasised the importance of mutual trust and strong social networks for the success of participation processes. That these factors lead to success, is shown by the Lokale Agenda 21 Wien for many years. Rudolf Scheuvens pointed out, that participation acts in particular as a communicative process between planners, politicians and citizens. That's why transparency of procedures, the early inclusion of the population and the visualisation of results are especially important. For Jennifer Kickert politicians have the task to create a suitable framework for participation, and have to take an active part in communication processes with citizens. Afterwards, teams consisting of politicians and citizens could test their knowledge of sustainable development and LA21 Plus at a million- idea-show. Questions like “When did the first LA21-process in Vienna start?”, or “How many people took part in the online survey for Wieden?” had to be answered, and with a little help from the audience and “phone-a-friend” all answers were found.

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?

  • How Water and Its Use Shaped the Spatial Development of Vienna
    Water Hist (2016) 8:301–328 DOI 10.1007/s12685-016-0169-7 How water and its use shaped the spatial development of Vienna 1 2 3 Friedrich Hauer • Severin Hohensinner • Christina Spitzbart-Glasl Received: 2 February 2015 / Accepted: 9 July 2016 / Published online: 2 August 2016 Ó The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Telling an environmental history of Vienna’s urban waters, this paper advocates the compound study of the evolution of fluvial and urban form. It traces the structural permanence of diverse types of running waters in a period of massive urban transformation from early modern times to present. The focus on the material effects, side-effects and afterlives of socio-natural processes offers novel perspectives to the reconstruction of city development. The featured cases show that long-term studies are vital in understanding the genesis of urban water bodies and urban form as a product of socio-natural processes. They inform us about the inertia of arrangements and the unforeseen perpetuation of site-specific effects of interventions. Societal interaction with natural elements such as Vienna’s waters, we conclude, reverberates in the material and immaterial realm alike.
