In the square there are 2 Heldenplatz statues of the 2 most important austrian military commanders : Archduke Charles - hero of the Napoleonic wars - the very interesting part of the statue is the way it was Heldenplatz the entire 10 ton weight of the statue is supported by the rear Heldenplatz of the horse - no tail support - Heldenplatz an achievement and a huge leap Heldenplatz in terms of statuary concept. Prinz Eugen of Savoy - hero of the wars against Heldenplatz turks - liberator of Timisoara that's for me the most important of his deeds. Beside the historical significance and the points of interest in the square, it is a nice place for walking, it is an Heldenplatz that is used for open air concerts and exhibitions. During Heldenplatz visit there was a picture exhibition - "Fall of the Iron Curtain" - on display in the corner close to the Volksgarten. The place is located in the Hofburg - in front of the New Hofburg wing of the palace another historically important building - in 15th of March Adolf H. So for those of you into history this place is a must visit when you are in Vienna - but if you are not into history it is equally interesting for all of you.

  • Notes of Michael J. Zeps, SJ
    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.

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.

  • Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues
    Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues Dr. Jonathan Petropoulos PROFESSOR, DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, LOYOLA COLLEGE, MD UNITED STATES Art Looting during the Third Reich: An Overview with Recommendations for Further Research Plenary Session on Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues It is an honor to be here to speak to you today. In many respects it is the highpoint of the over fifteen years I have spent working on this issue of artworks looted by the Nazis. This is a vast topic, too much for any one book, or even any one person to cover. Put simply, the Nazis plundered so many objects over such a large geographical area that it requires a collaborative effort to reconstruct this history. The project of determining what was plundered and what subsequently happened to these objects must be a team effort. And in fact, this is the way the work has proceeded. Many scholars have added pieces to the puzzle, and we are just now starting to assemble a complete picture. In my work I have focused on the Nazi plundering agencies1; Lynn Nicholas and Michael Kurtz have worked on the restitution process2; Hector Feliciano concentrated on specific collections in Western Europe which were 1 Jonathan Petropoulos, Art as Politics in the Third Reich (Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press).

  • 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.
