Schloss Einstein Rewatch Folge 16 - 18
Endlich erzĂ€hlen sie Guppy von Aram. Und der reagiert verstĂ€ndnisvoll, sagt aber auch klar, dass sie ihn frĂŒher hĂ€tten informieren mĂŒssen. Sehr cute auch, wie er mit Aram Russisch spricht und sich auch spĂ€ter fĂŒr ihn einsetzt gegenĂŒber den Leuten vom Jugendamt. Aber Marc verrennt sich da so dermaĂen in der Sache, er war noch nicht mal da und zettelt alle zu einem Streik an đ« Und die Story geht immer noch weiter, da er jetzt im Heim wirklich erst bedroht wird und dann verschwindet... WĂŒsste wirklich gerne, was sich der Kika damit gedacht hat?
(Das Beste ist ja auch, dass fĂŒr die Szenen im Jugendheim einfach vor ein random Haus das Schild "Jugendheim" gestellt wurde đ)
Genderklischees sind bei Budhi (Pferdeposter ist fĂŒr MĂ€dchen, Aram ist ein Junge also bekommt er ein Schwarzenegger-Poster) und Antje (Warum soll der Junge jetzt MĂ€dchenklamotten anziehen?) noch ganz hoch im Kurs đ«
Okay, wie Budhi Katharina tröstet und dann auch noch mit ihrem Vater redet, war tatsĂ€chlich ein bisschen sĂŒĂ đ„ș aber warum kĂŒsst sie ihn nur um ihren Vater zu provozieren und kann ihm dann gar nicht sagen, dass sie (noch) nicht mit ihm zusammen sein möchte?? der Arme Budhi đ
Zur MĂ€usegeschichte ist eigentlich nicht viel zu sagen, auĂer dass Pasulke so ein Herzi ist. Zuerst hat er solche Angst vor den MĂ€usen und dann kann er sich gar nicht trennen đ„ș

SCHLOSS LEOPOLDSKRON
Schloss Leopoldskron is a beautiful rococo palace about a 15 minute walk from Salzburg Old Town and set on a very picturesque lake. Made famous in The Sound of Music, this palace has hosted the great and good over the years including Winston Churchill, Kofi Annan, Hillary Clinton, Prince Charles and even Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Built in 1736 as a family home by Prince Archbishop Firmian, the house passed to his nephew on his death. After the decline in the fortunes of the Archbishops in the early 1800s, the palace fell into disrepair.
King Ludwig 1 of Bavaria took over the palace as his residence in 1848 after he was forced to abdicate. It was purchased by Max Reinhardt, the famous director and co-founder of the Salzburg Festspiele in 1918. He lived and worked there for the next 20 years, staging many productions and hosting countless balls during the festivals. He was forced to flee Austria in 1938 however due to his Jewish heritage.

The Two Sides to Graz, Austria: (Part 2) The Culturally Creative City, From History to Hipster
My trip to Graz was a combination of a #EuroCityTrip project to highlight the city as a âcool neighbourâ to Sloveniaâs Ljubljana and as part of my #YearInAustria project, where I set out on a city-hopping tour at the start of summer to uncover the urban hubs of Innsbruck, Salzburg and Graz to show you how not all Austrian cities are the same. Graz was my third stop.Â
Part 2: Trendy, New Graz. The Hipster to the History
Graz â Austriaâs second largest city  â is defined mostly by its 900 years of history which lives on in every street, city pocket and hillside. But thatâs just one half of its cultural story.
The modern persona of Graz, which helped give it the coveted titles of UNESCO City of Design and European Cultural Capital (2003) is just as worthy of your attention in order to understand it as a whole. (You can read Part 1:Â 900 Years of Historical Graz. The âMediterraneanâ City of Austria here).
While there is a mesh to the old and new parts of Graz, the River Mur neatly cuts the more obvious parts of old and new Graz in two. Which makes for easier navigation for visitors wanting to delve deeper into its two distinct personalities. Locals see this âsouthâ side of the city as more âplayfulâ and the contrast between the two is welcomed and celebrated.
My time in the trendy part of Graz started by checking into the Wiesler Hotel, on the other side of the River Mur from the historical old town. The lobby bears an artwork of jagged wood â a beam puzzle art installation by Austrian artist, Clemens Hollerer. Itâs a sister of the Hotel Daniel brand, thatâs been making its ultra trendy mark in Vienna (although it first in Graz).
The hotel lies on the same stretch of Grieskai street thatâs home to the cityâs revered modern landmark of the Kunsthouse (modern art museum, built in 2003) and affectionately known locally as the âFriendly Alienâ. You canât miss it, and since I was obsessed with this architectural bubble before I even arrived, it was the perfect location. Not to mention that as a coffee freak, the hip Tribeka coffee shop was also on the same stretch of funky straĂe (road). Itâs here that Grazâs younger generation hang out, and who are quite possibly living in the adjacent Lend neighbourhood.
This side of the river is packed with the ultra cool and for those looking for contemporary immersion in a historical city. The creative neighbourhood of Lend starts in the area around Mariahilferplatz, whose history dates back to the 19th century when immigrants from Yugoslavia and Turkey settled here, bringing together multiple cultures, cuisines, communities and commerce.
Itâs a natural trend for the creative minded to be attracted to the underdog areas; the gritty and unknown. Today Lend is a mix of eco initiative stores, trendy eateries that reflect the cultural mix of the area or where you can gorge on traditional Backhendl with a bit more chic, outdoor markets, and a regenerated old red light district area (the area specifically between the Kunsthaus and Lendplatz).
In the evening a small clusters of casual pubs and urbanite bars, and late night foodie spots like âBrot und Spieleâ, give it a homely and âin the knowâ neighbourhood feel. The hipster bar, Kabuff is a play on the areas past, meaning âno brothelâ in Styrian dialect.
The charity design shops are at the very heart of this creative side of Graz, selling all kinds of upcycled items from fashion, jewellery and homeware. Yet the focus on the design projects is that they focus on youth employment and the involvement of young locals, which means when you shop here, you are a part of a full-circle initiative.
There are pockets of street art, buildings painted in a myriad of colour and pattern, a church (St.AndrĂ€) that combines religion with contemporary art, and repurposed old spaces that make for super geil (cool) hangouts. It has been given a new lease of life from what was once a place seen as discarded and unkempt. Whatâs exciting is that it is still expanding and adding colour and life to an area that was once on the sidelines of old, historical Graz.
The fact that this area is built on multi-culturalism and thrives on this community spirit is of great importance. The annual Grieskram food and performance festival brings everyone together and the socio-cultural project, Annenviertal encourages Graz locals to take part in community activities to drive interest and awareness in new business and neighbourhood initiatives in order to keep the area on the map. As a visitor, you are just as a much a part of keeping this side of the Mur River alive.
Thatâs not to say that this ultra hip Graz separates itself from the old. It simply compliments it.
While the ledges of the Schlossberg looks down over this area, this side of the river looks up. In the Kunsthaus, one of its ânozzleâ windows points in a different direction to all of the others â for a direct old to modern facing view of the famous Bell Tower on the Schlossberg.
The River, a vein of the old city, is connected with modern structures such as the Murinsel (a cafĂ© and exhibition space) that sits right in the water with footbridges that link to both sides of the bank, and the Mur Promenade (which you can access via stairs leading down from the main Erzherzog Johann BrĂŒcke) with a waterside bar and spot for relaxation. The brave go river surfing in the strong currents, which you might be lucky to spot on a good day.
Thatâs not to say all of contemporary and cool Graz is contained on one side, either.
Artworks have made their way across the river, blending with the historical old streets, like the blue ring in Schlossbergplatz, and sporadic structures on other squares, like the lampshade metalwork I found. The Joanneumsviertal cultural centre is a funky glass structure nestled within the old town streets. Trendy hangouts like Ducks Coffee Shop on Rabergasse and Albertâs bar on Herrengasse are well-established new haunts in the historical centre.
Then you have independent stores like first package free organic grocery store, Das Gramm that is practically next door to the old chocolate making shop. Not to mention when the sun goes down and the old Graz hums with heavy metal and Indie music bars like Tick Tack and Guest Room, DJ spots like Café Mitte and underground clubs like Club Q.
Graz is also host to plenty of cultural festivals throughout the year too, giving all the more reason to come back after youâve explored its history and hipster hangouts. Graz hosts all manner of creative festivals annually, including the Austrian Film Festival in March, the electronic music Springfestival in May, and the Steirischer Herbst contemporary art festival in October takes over the city with everything from visual art, theatre and political debates.
Grazâs modern history defines it just as much as its 900 years past. Crossing the River Mur and exploring a whole new side of Graz that lies right behind the âFriendly Alienâ landmark completes the picture as to the cityâs origins, cultural diversity and artistic heart.

Top Tips: Things to See and Do in Graz
Arnold Schwarzenegger fans can sip a coffee in a room dedicated to him in Andy Warhol style at the Grand CafĂ© Kaiserfeld. The âGovernorâs Roomâ is filled with portraits of the Hollywood star and Grazâs famous son. Nearby Thal is his homeplace where you can visit his birthhouse with is now a museum, where you can pose with a giant statue.
 The Parish Church on Herrengasse, while known for its Baroque Tower, includes a reminder to the cities darker days, featuring modern art stained glass windows, one which includes a portrait of Hitler and Mussolini watching the crown of thorns coronation of Jesus.
For a taste of the Styrian craft beer scene, head to café bar Vintage.
 For the best Backhendl indulgence (half Styrian chicken in crispy breadcrumbs) head to The Steirer on Belgiergasse, pictured above. The restaurant also has the largest selection of regional wines.
Return to the âFriendly Alienâ at night, when it becomes an light-art installation.
 Local top picks for the Lend neighbourhood hangouts include brunch favourite Blendend, Rangoon for cocktails and Lotte (a smokers bar). We enjoyed taking random strolls and testing all manner of hideouts!
 The weekly farmers market takes place in Lend Monday-Saturday in Lendplatz, until 1pm

Things to Know about Graz:
Graz is close to Vienna and is well-connected to the capital (and all other major Austrian cities) via the ĂBB rail network. From Vienna, the train journey is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. Graz is also seen as a âsister cityâ with Sloveniaâs Ljubljana, which surprising similarities (as I will write about later).
Graz is a very easy city to explore on foot, which is why an all-encompassing city card isnât necessarily needed.
Grab a copy of the âGraz. Made by locals for Young Travellersâ map. Itâs detailed without being boring, and full of insider hints and tips, alongside the very best hangouts, from coffee to quirky themed bars.
Should you wish to take public transport, a 1 hour ticket (valid from the tram and bus) is âŹ2.20 and a 24 hours ticket is âŹ5, which is much better value.
If you are a museum fan, the Joanneum 24 hours tickets grants admission to all exhibitions under the âUniversalmusuem Joanneumâ, which includes the Kunsthaus and Schloss Eggenberg (just outside of the city centre).
