June is statistically the wettest month, and January the driest. What Clothes To Bring? My Portuguese in-laws and many of our friends travelling to Vienna often ask this question. These are the clothes we bring for each season: November to March: warm winter gear, woollen pullovers, padded boots, gloves, scarves, caps (my husband swears by long winter underwear), but cut out the polar expedition gear. April to May: pullovers, padded jackets, solid and rainproof footwear, rain gear. June to August: summer gear, light sweaters, a light jacket just in case, rain gear just in case; September to October: pullovers, light or padded jackets, solid and rainproof footwear, rain gear especially for October. 9 WHAT IS VIENNA MADE OF?

My favourite elements are Johann Michael Rottmayr’s baroque picture book frescoes in the church’s vast oval shaped dome: a celestial universe in vivid pastels, featuring illuminated saints, cherubs, and fierce archangels. My tip: The Church St. Charles Borromeo regularly hosts baroque classical music from Wolfgang Mozart and Antonio Vivaldi. This is by far the best way to see the church. Read more in Vienna Concerts. Schönbrunn Palace Schönbrunn has approximately 1,400 rooms in various styles. Most characteristic are its white-washed walls with gold leaf stucco decorated ceilings, and bright red upholstered furniture. Empress Maria Theresia of Austria (1717 to 1780) eventually turned Schönbrunn into her summer residence. There, she cultivated a baroque lifestyle of lavish interiors, luxurious wardrobes, exquisite dance balls and horse parades, and Schönbrunn Palace, a UNESCO World musical events performed by the finest Heritage site, is Vienna’s epicentre of composers of her time, among them baroque and rococo art.

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.

Verlag Mandelbaum, Wien 2000, S. 13-22 Herbert Haupt Der Heldenplatz Ein Stück europäischer Geschichte im Herzen von Wien Was Wien für die Monarchie ist, das ist die Hofburg für Wien: Der eigentliche Mittelpunkt der Stadt« Richard von Eitelberger, 1859 Zunächst mußte Raum geschaffen werden, damit überhaupt ein Platz entstehen konnte. Am Beginn der Geschichte des Heldenplatzes steht die Sprengung der Burgbastei durch die abziehenden französischen Truppen im Dezember des Jahres 1809. Napoleon hatte mit der Eroberung Wiens (13. Mai 1809) und dem Frieden von Schönbrunn (14. Oktober 1809) den Höhepunkt seiner Macht erreicht. Es war ein blutiger, hart umkämpfter Sieg gewesen, der am Nimbus der Unbesiegbarkeit des Kaisers der Franzosen erste Flecken hinterließ. In der Schlacht bei Aspern und Eßling hatte sich Napoleon zum erstenmal einer einzelnen Macht geschlagen geben müssen. Erzherzog Carl (1771–1847) sollte 50 Jahre später am äußeren Burgplatz ein Denkmal zur Erinnerung an den Sieg errichtet werden. Als bleibende Erinnerung an seine halbjährige Regentschaft in Wien ließ Napoleon vor seinem Abzug die zum Schutze der Hofburg errichtete Bastei sprengen. Doch was als demütigendes Zeichen gedacht war, nahm in Wirklichkeit nur eine Arbeit vorweg, die Kaiser Franz I. (1768–1835) von Österreich früher oder später selbst vorzunehmen gezwungen gewesen wäre. Die neue Waffentechnik verlangte nach einem neuen Befestigungssystem. Die Zeit für Bastionen war abgelaufen. Mit dem Abtragen des Schutts und mit der Beseitigung der an der Außenseite der Basteimauer gelegenen Wachthäuser ließ man sich Zeit. Erst 1816 wurde mit der Planierung des den größeren Teil des heutigen Heldenplatzes umfassenden Areals der Burgbastei begonnen.

    Step 2025 Urban Development Plan Vienna

    STEP 2025 URBAN DEVELOPMENT PLAN VIENNA TRUE URBAN SPIRIT FOREWORD STEP 2025 Cities mean change, a constant willingness to face new develop- ments and to be open to innovative solutions. Yet urban planning also means to assume responsibility for coming generations, for the city of the future. At the moment, Vienna is one of the most rapidly growing metropolises in the German-speaking region, and we view this trend as an opportunity. More inhabitants in a city not only entail new challenges, but also greater creativity, more ideas, heightened development potentials. This enhances the importance of Vienna and its region in Central Europe and thus contributes to safeguarding the future of our city. In this context, the new Urban Development Plan STEP 2025 is an instrument that offers timely answers to the questions of our present. The document does not contain concrete indications of what projects will be built, and where, but offers up a vision of a future Vienna. Seen against the background of the city’s commit- ment to participatory urban development and urban planning, STEP 2025 has been formulated in a broad-based and intensive process of dialogue with politicians and administrators, scientists and business circles, citizens and interest groups. The objective is a city where people live because they enjoy it – not because they have to. In the spirit of Smart City Wien, the new Urban Development Plan STEP 2025 suggests foresighted, intelli- gent solutions for the future-oriented further development of our city. Michael Häupl Mayor Maria Vassilakou Deputy Mayor and Executive City Councillor for Urban Planning, Traffic &Transport, Climate Protection, Energy and Public Participation FOREWORD STEP 2025 In order to allow for high-quality urban development and to con- solidate Vienna’s position in the regional and international context, it is essential to formulate clearcut planning goals and to regu- larly evaluate the guidelines and strategies of the city.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .

But there are substantial regional differences within and between these countries with respect to available net income. According to GfK’s prognosis, Switzerland’s almost 8.5 million inhabitants have a total purchasing power of €356.9 billion in 2019 (excludes Liechten- stein). Austria’s approximately 8.8 million inhabitants have around €212.3 billion at their disposal in 2019, while Germany’s approximately 82.8 million inhabitants have €1,968.7 billion. Purchasing power is a measure of the nominal net income available to the population, including government subsidies such as unemployment assis- tance, child benefit and pension contributions.
