    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.

The extract-rich body and a finely integrated under- lying acidity lend this Pinot blanc elegance and depth.

    WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 1033.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND THE NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Historic Centre of Vienna DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 16th December 2001 STATE PARTY: AUSTRIA CRITERIA: C (ii)(iv)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 25th Session of the World Heritage Committee The Committee inscribed the Historic Centre of Vienna on the World Heritage List under criteria (ii), (iv), and (vi): Criterion (ii): The urban and architectural qualities of the Historic Centre of Vienna bear outstanding witness to a continuing interchange of values throughout the second millennium. Criterion (iv): Three key periods of European cultural and political development - the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit - are exceptionally well illustrated by the urban and architectural heritage of the Historic Centre of Vienna. Criterion (vi): Since the 16th century Vienna has been universally acknowledged to be the musical capital of Europe. While taking note of the efforts already made for the protection of the historic town of Vienna, the Committee recommended that the State Party undertake the necessary measures to review the height and volume of the proposed new development near the Stadtpark, east of the Ringstrasse, so as not to impair the visual integrity of the historic town. Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.

Kenntnisse, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Schriften Verein zur Verbreitung naturwissenschaftlicher Kenntnisse 147 (2009): 61–76 Spurensuche: 80 Millionen Jahre Bisamberg Heinz A. Kollmann Der Bisamberg bildet den nordöstlichen Ausläufer der aus Sandstein und Tongesteinen bestehenden Flyschzone. Ihre Gesteine entstanden in einer Tiefseerinne am Rand des europäischen Kontinents, über dessen Südrand sich später die Alpen schoben. Im Lauf der Gebirgsbildung der Alpen wurde der Flysch hochgepresst und von den gegen Nor- den gleitenden Kalkalpen zumindest 60 km bis in seine heutige Position geschoben. Als Folge der Gebirgsbildung entstanden Bruchzonen. An diesen begannen Abschnitte des Gebirges vor 20 Millionen Jahren in die Tiefe zu sinken. Die Senken wurden da- durch Buchten der Paratethys, eines ursprünglich nördlich der Alpen und der Karpaten sich erstreckenden Binnenmeers. Der Bisamberg war von zwei Buchten eingerahmt: Dem heutigen Korneuburger Becken und dem Wiener Becken. Der durch das fort- schreitende Absinken entstandene Raum füllte sich mit Ablagerungen, die teilweise bedeutende Fossilvorkommen enthalten. Die Meeresbedeckung des Korneubuger Beckens endete vor 16 Millionen Jahren. Das Wiener Becken war bis vor 9 Millionen Jahren von Wasser bedeckt. Schotter auf dem Bisamberg sind Strandablagerungen des Meeres, das sich weit gegen Südosteuropa ausdehnte. Durch die Abschnürung der Meeresverbindungen und einmündende Flüsse wurde es allmählich zu einem See. Fossilreiche Ablagerungen bei Stammersdorf ent- standen nahe des Seeufers vor 10 Millionen Jahren.

  • 2000 Years of Town Planning in Vienna
    2000 Years of Town Planning in Vienna Wolfgang Borner Geschäftsgruppe Kultur - Stadtarchäologie Friedrich-Schmidt-Platz 5/1 1080 Vienna, Austria E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Around 2000years ago, Roman legionnaires planned and built their militaiy fortress upon today's city terrain according to a customary and trustworthy scheme. Due to the arrival of natives and Roman citizens, further settlements, which were constructed more or less systematically, came to exist in the whereabouts of this legionnaire fortress. On these Roman walls and on some sparse remnants from the early middle ages, the cosmopolitan city of Vienna was erected. In cooperation with the Board for City Planning, strategies were dei'eloped to conserve the historical assets of this city for the coming generations. For this reason, a Land Registration Project for Cultural Assets, which is part of a Protective Zone Project, was elaborated for the City of Vienna. This land register has been available in the Internet since Autumn 2000 (http:// service.wien.gv. at/kulturkat/). In addition to buildings worth conserving and pin-pointed protective zones, all known archeological sites of the city have been included in this GIS-application of the municipal authority. Key words: Stadtarchäologie Wien, Cultural Heritage Land Register, GIS, Roman fortress, Gemeindeberg, Seniorarchäologie Introduction The area south of the Danube with its terraces formed by the ice ages and rivers, in particular, was very inviting to settlers.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Alluvial rivers can show unpredictable channel changes and humans living along the river corridor repeatedly have to cope with the alterations of their physical environment. This was specifically the case in the mid-sixteenth century, when the Viennese were confronted with one major problem: the Danube River successively abandoned its main arm that ran close to the city and shifted further north. This was at the time when Vienna became the permanent residence of the Holy Roman Empire (except from 1583 to 1611 when it was moved to Prague), due to the Habsburgs holding the crown. Vienna was also the capital of the so-called Danube Monarchy, which came into being in the early sixteenth century. The city assumed increasing significance, being home to and hosting important authorities and persons. In particular after the first siege by the Ottoman army in 1529, the resource need for a complex fortification system was extremely high. This paper aims to highlight: (1) the morphological Danube dynamics together with floods and extreme weather situations in the sixteenth century; (2) the main actors in the trans- formation of the Danube; (3) changes of the river’s course from 1550 to 1600/1650 and the consequences for bridging the river and the infrastructure as a whole; (4) the massive engineering measures that were undertaken in order to secure Vienna’s requirements in the sixteenth century; (5) the question of floodplain settlements, and (6) the contested use of resources on the Viennese Danube floodplain.
