You will have to apply for an entry visa to Austria at the nearest Austrian consulate before you travel to Austria. The issue of a student visa may be a lengthy process, so students should plan ahead as much as possible. Please note that you are self-responsible for your visa! EEA nationals and Swiss students do not need to apply for visa, but need to register separately. For more detailed information, please refer to the chapter: “Important information for EEA nationals and Swiss students”, page 16. Accommodation General information Besides the admission procedure and the formalities of visa application it is also necessary to find suitable accommodation. There are various options for you depending on your individual needs and life style: Student hostels/dormitories Non-Austrian students can choose among the whole range of student hostels in Vienna. Some of these care for the non-Austrian students’ needs more than others: e.g. the student hostel of the Afro-Asian Institute offers accommodation in 64 single and 4 double rooms throughout the year and offers prayer rooms for various denominations (www.aai-wien.at ). The Austrian Exchange Service (ÖAD) also helps non-Austrian students find suitable and affordable accommodation with its housing service. The main goal from the OeAD Housing Office (a non-profit organisation) is to accommodate international students in Austria in an ideal way. As an indispensable partner for the universities and universities of applied sciences in the field of international students’ mobility, the OeAD – Housing Office provides fully furnished rooms during the academic year as well as during the summer months (July – September). Further information and application details are available on the website: www.housing.oead.at www.housing.oead.at www.akademikerhilfe.at www.oejab.at www.wihast.at 6 You can also choose among the other student hostels in Vienna. The costs are between € 180 and € 250 for a single room and € 150 to € 200 for a double room. Lists of all the hostels with detailed descriptions of furniture, rent and application formalities are available at www.studentenfoerderung.at , www.studieren.at and www.cycamp.at Flat/apartment sharing A very common alternative to living in a student hostel is sharing a flat/apartment with other students. These are websites where you can search for a suitable place: www.wohnenboerse.at and www.jobwohnen.at Renting a flat/apartment Before signing a rent contract it is advisable to gather information about your rights and duties and to have the rental contract checked by an expert. Looking for a flat can be time-consuming and should be well planned. If you commission an estate agency with the search you have to pay commission (usually several monthly rents) for this service. Take into account that deposits might have to be paid as well as payments for previous investments. The Housing Office of the Austrian Exchange Service provides flats and rooms in halls of residence for students receiving ÖAD grants, Erasmus students, visiting professors and guests. Should you wish to have a room at a student-residence procured, you have to remit € 400, - (reservation deposit) by the ÖAD - Österreichischer Austauschdienst Wirtschaftsreferat Alserstraße 4/1/1/3

    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette History Faculty Research and Publications History Department 1-1-2011 Documents of Baudirektion Wien 1919-1941: Notes of Michael J. Zeps, S.J. Michael J. Zeps S.J. Marquette University, [email protected] Preface While doing research in Vienna for my dissertation on relations between Church and State in Austria between the wars I became intrigued by the outward appearance of the public housing projects put up by Red Vienna at the same time. They seemed to have a martial cast to them not at all restricted to the famous Karl-Marx-Hof so, against advice that I would find nothing, I decided to see what could be found in the archives of the Stadtbauamt to tie the architecture of the program to the civil war of 1934 when the structures became the principal focus of conflict. I found no direct tie anywhere in the documents but uncovered some circumstantial evidence that might be explored in the future. One reason for publishing these notes is to save researchers from the same dead end I ran into. This is not to say no evidence was ever present because there are many missing documents in the sequence which might turn up in the future—there is more than one complaint to be found about staff members taking documents and not returning them—and the socialists who controlled the records had an interest in denying any connection both before and after the civil war. Certain kinds of records are simply not there including assessments of personnel which are in the files of the Magistratsdirektion not accessible to the public and minutes of most meetings within the various Magistrats Abteilungen connected with the program.

It was the victory of liberalism and the constitutional state, a victory which had immediate and phenomenal demographic and social consequences. In 1857, Vienna had a total population of 287,824, of which 6,217 (2.16 per cent) were Jews.

    Analysing Spatial Patterns of Social Housing Schemes in Vienna and Copenhagen

    MASTERARBEIT Titel der Masterarbeit Location of Social Housing: Analysing spatial patterns of social housing schemes in Vienna and Copenhagen Verfasserin DI Sandra Jurasszovich angestrebter akademischer Grad Master of Arts (MA) Wien, 1. September 2015 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 066 664 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Masterstudium DDP Urban Studies Betreuer: Prof. Dr. Jesús Leal (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) Sandra Jurasszovich Location of Social Housing: Analysing spatial spatial patterns of social housing schemes in Vienna and Copenhagen Erasmus Mundus Master Course in Urban Studies [4Cities] 2013-2015 1st of September 2015 Supervisor: Jesús Leal Abstract Providing social housing is a crucial subject in current political debate as well as in scientific literature. When examining the topic of social housing there are two major issues: firstly, what socio- demographic groups are entitled to benefit from social housing and how has the socio-economic composition changed over the last decades? And secondly, where in a city are social housing units built? The latter question, which is related to the planning system of a city, is oftentimes underestimated, disregarded or simply overlooked in literature covering social housing in Europe. This thesis addresses exactly this problem, its objective being the identification of how the planning systems are used to influence the location of social housing developments across urban space by the example of Vienna and Copenhagen. Both cities have repeatedly been appraised as being amongst the most liveable cities worldwide. As a result of their increasing attractiveness as a place to live in, land and housing prices have been soaring. The research underlines that the possibilities for providers of social housing are limited considerably by high land price.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Medieval Vienna was situated at the main arm of the swiftly flowing alpine Danube. From the fourteenth century onwards, the river gradually moved away from the city. This marked the beginning of 500 years of human intervention to prevent further displacement of the river and to preserve the waterway as a vital supply line. Archival research and the GIS-based reconstruction of the past riverscape allow a new view about the co-evolution of the city and the river. Following major channel changes in 1565/1566, repeated attempts to force the main arm into the old river bed were undertaken. By the early seventeenth century, the Viennese had accepted the new situation. Resources were S. Hohensinner (&) Á B. Lager Á G.

Thanks to decades of political emphasis on afforda- ble housing, Vienna is currently in a much better position than other metropolitan cities, where social housing has been either neglected or even completely abandoned.
