Old Vienna

Anno 2012

Am 12. Dezember 2009 war der letzte Betriebstag des Südbahnhofes. Danach wurden ausgewählte Teile davon aktiv in die Sammlung des Wien Museums übernommen, allen voran der große Schriftzug.

Der Südbahnhof im 10. Bezirk von Wien, Favoriten, war bis 12. Dezember 2009 der größte Bahnhof Österreichs, ehe Aufnahmsgebäude, Rangiergleise und der weitläufige Frachtenbahnhof im darauffolgenden Jahr abgerissen wurden. Auf dem Areal entstanden der erste Hauptbahnhof in der Geschichte der Stadt sowie zwei neue Stadtteile, die erst teilweise fertiggestellt sind. Als einziger Betriebsteil des Südbahnhofs blieb nur die unterirdische Haltestelle der S-Bahn erhalten. Seit 9. Dezember 2012 heißt diese nun Haltestelle Wien Quartier Belvedere.

Auf dem Areal befanden sich bis 1956 zwei Bahnhöfe: der 1841 eröffnete Gloggnitzer Bahnhof, der als „erster Südbahnhof“ bezeichnet wird, und der 1845 in dessen unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft eröffnete Raaber Bahnhof, Ausgangspunkt der Ostbahn. Diese später Wien Ostbahnhof genannte Anlage war wie der Südbahnhof ein Kopfbahnhof. 1957 verlor er sein separates Aufnahmsgebäude und wurde zum Südbahnhof (Ostseite).

Der neue Hauptbahnhof ersetzt im Vollbetrieb die beiden ehemaligen Kopfbahnhöfe vollständig. Am 8. Dezember 2012 wurde der Name Wien Südbahnhof im Bahnbetrieb zum letzten Mal verwendet.

Kunst Historische Museum, Vienna

Vienna ha il vantaggio kon solo di avere un grande patrimonio artistico ma anche di averlo organizzato in una serie di spazi molto ben strutturati. Questo a partire dal bellissimo Museum Quartier che contiene oltre al bellissimo Leopold, dove si respira fino in fondo l'humus artistico e intellettuale della Vienna tra il 19.esimo e 20,esimo secolo, altri spazi che vanno fino al museo di arte contemporanea Mumok, che già nella sua architettura e le sue bellissime vetrate sulla città definisce un concetto estetico molto forte.

Ed è proprio di fronte al Museum Quartier che, passata la grande strada che li separa l, si trovano i due grandi palazzi che ospitano il museo di storia naturale e il Kunst Museum.

Nella bellezza e ricchezza del palazzo del Kunst con le sue scale imperiali sono ospitate tele di grandissimo prestigio. Il tutto organlnlzzato in bellissimi e comodi spazi dove, nella maggior parte delle sale principali, ci si può sedere su numerosi, comodissimi e ben tenuti divano azzurri a contemplare la ri chezza e preziosità delle opere.

Veniamo quindi alla ricca collezione. Non si può partire che dai quattro bellissimi Arcimboldo disposto in una piccola sala su due pareti antistanti. I quattro visi composti con diversi frutti, verdura, pesci, legna e erba sono ammalianti con la loro originalità ed espressività.

Canaletto, con le sue vedute di Vienna, in grandi tele che fotografano in dettaglio piazze e palazzi della città e poi con le tre piccole tele su Venezia appaiate ad altre tre tele del Tiepolo che permettono un confronto più che suggestivo.

Bellissima la Madonna di Raffaello ma poi anche le tele del Perugino, del Parmigianino, do Tiziano, del Tintoretto e così via con molti altri grandi Italiani arrivando fino ad Antonello da Messina.

Bellissima poi la sala dedicata al Velazquez dove spicca la famosa bambina dal vestito blu.

Nell'altra ala del palazzo una serie di fiamminghi vede il bellissimo Vermeer del pittore che ritrae la donna dal vestito azzurro e poi tante altre tele dei più famosi pittori del tempo.

Preziose le 4 piccole tele del Durer e poi la bella collezione di Cranach padre e figlio a partire dalle due tele con uomo e donna e poi le scene di caccia.

Ma la sale dei Brughel è di certo uno degli highlight del museo. Le gra di e bellissime tele permettono un tuffo nel mondo di questo pittore unico. Il piacere di perdersi nelle raffigurazioni estive e invernali con le tantissime figure messe in scena è notevole.

Un luogo bemnotganizzato, esteticamente piacevole e molto ricco di opere e suggestioni.

6/4/19

After 3 months of hard work, we finally got our official semester break. We were given two weeks over the Easter period, and I decided to make the most of it with a twelve day trip to Europe. My first stop was the beautiful city of Vienna, where I would stay for four nights. Luckily for me, I had a friend who lived there who was gracious enough to show me around her city. I had flown out of Edinburgh at 6:30 in the morning, so on my first day, we just took it easy and checked out some of the main sites. 

Some of the highlights were the Johann Strauß monument, who was a famous Austrian composer. Next we saw St Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom), which is the main Catholic church of Vienna (built in the Romanesque and Gothic styles). Nearby was the Plague Column/Trinity Column (Pestäule). It was constructed to remember those who died in the Great Plague epidemic of 1679. We also went inside St Peter’s Church (Peterskirche), which is a beautiful Baroque church.

While we were walking around the city, we saw a lot of horse drawn carriages (called fiakers). Fiakers were popular in Vienna from 1860-1900 - the carriage drivers were often interesting characters and some performed as singers. These days they are only used by tourists for the price of an arm and a leg (a 20 minute tour costs €55, and 40 minutes costs €80).  

We stopped for a coffee at Demel, which is a famous pastry shop and chocolaterie, that was established in 1786. An interesting thing I found was that in Austria, you are always served water with coffee. Its so simple, but ingenious. I wish that was done automatically at home.  

Next we wandered around the Hofburg Palace complex, where the Hapsburg emperors of the Austro-Hungarian Empire lived (now the Austrian President works here). We also walked through the People’s Garden (Volksgarten) and past the Palace of Justice (Justizpalast), which is the Supreme Court of Austria.

We bought an afternoon snack at a local supermarket - a traditional Austrian snack called leberkäse. Its essentially fritz with a crusty edge, served with sauce and melted cheese in a dinner roll - very yummy. 

That night we feasted on a traditional Austrian meal, and for dessert, one of the best cakes I’ve ever had - a home-made sachertorte, which is a chocolate cake, with a tart apricot jam separating the layers.

As both maker and muse, avant-garde fashion designer Emilie Flöge’s influence weaves through the history of Vienna and contributes to its allure as a cultural destination today. Born in 1874, Flöge advanced from seamstress to boutique owner at a time of rapid societal change. As she inspired—and was featured within—masterworks by the acclaimed Austrian painter Gustav Klimt, she also pioneered liberation for women through corset-free clothing with flowing silhouettes and ornate decorative motifs.

The fact that Flöge is better known for her collaborative relationship with Klimt neglects her exquisite craft and independent entrepreneurial success in Vienna during the fin-de-siècle. Flöge’s style was part of an international discourse that included French couturiers Paul Poiret, who removed bodices from his creations in 1906, and Coco Chanel, who introduced comfortable but elegant two-piece women’s suits. Though Poiret’s developments were primarily aesthetic, Flöge’s and Chanel’s were ideological and fanned attention to a sense of rebellion.

Flöge, with sisters Pauline and Helene, opened the salon Schwestern Flöge (which translates to “Flöge Sisters”) in 1906, four years before the first Chanel boutique opened in Paris. Being owned and operated by three women was an uncommon undertaking at the time, but its lively location on Mariahilfer Straße welcomed bourgeois women who became regular patrons. It was here that Flöge contributed to the expanding “rational dress movement” of reformed shapes, also known as the “Reformkleid,” where generous cuts with wide sleeves draped playfully over the wearer. Flöge embellished these dresses with patterns that drew inspiration from Eastern European embroidery, which imparted the smoke-like garments with a glamorous Viennese-bohemian spirit. This was radical, unrestricted fashion.

Schwestern Flöge was a predecessor to what we today refer to as a concept shop. Designed by architect Josef Hoffmann (who also imagined Klimt’s studio), it was uniquely furnished with geometric wooden chairs, checkered tables, carpets, and adjustable mirrors. It was also peppered with objets d’art and luxury items, crafted from tortoiseshell and lapis lazuli, that couldn’t be purchased. With the store’s detailed logo, which paired art nouveau text with a checkered border, a fully-formed brand captured the attention of Vienna’s high society.

Flöge’s role as creative head required everything from broad, trend-setting decisions to hands-on production work with clients. The studio expanded to 80 seamstresses at its height, and operated for 30 years. Both feats were a testament to Flöge’s acumen, as was her success beyond Vienna with a curious international market. At home, Schwestern Flöge became the leading fashion destination of its Viennese society—and this innovative venture paved the way for shopping in contemporary Vienna.

Today, concept shops and boutiques abound, from the hybrid fashion, art, and design store SONG, to Park, which highlights established and emerging Austrian designers. While Mariahilfer Straße is still a celebrated destination (especially with locals), Margaretenstraße plays host to the exhilarating boutiques Samstag, Unikatessen, Wolfensson, and more. Walking through the historic city center, as well as the Goldenes Quartier, provides ample access to items beyond clothing and accessories, too.

As fashion is ingrained in Vienna, so too is art. This is due in part to Klimt’s legacy, and his work appears in museums throughout Vienna—especially at the Schloss Belvedere, an acclaimed institution with a detailed Austrian art collection that also includes pieces by Egon Schiele and Koloman Moser.

In his time, Klimt purchased fashionable items from Flöge, but that isn’t how they knew one another. Their lives were intertwined long beforehand, with their first known correspondence taking place in 1895. Though it has been presumed they were in love, both were discreet about anything beyond friendship, which has been observed through nearly 400 written documents that they exchanged.

“Her intricate fashion was very much sought after and, much like Klimt’s paintings, a must-have among the fashionable and artistically minded.”

Sandra Tetter, director Gustav-Klimt-Centre on Lake Attersee

It’s her role in his art that has led to further assumption—from the “Portrait of Emilie Flöge,” where Klimt depicts her with shimmering splendor, to “The Kiss,” which is arguably his most famous work (and on display at Schloss Belvedere). In the former, Klimt displays the revolutionary golden style that will define him. With the latter, a couple—arguably Flöge and Klimt—passionately embrace, adorned with mesmeric attire that resembles her fashion.

In addition to painting Flöge, Klimt worked in collaboration with her. Together, they explored color and form, and she even produced designs that he made. In these, they were photographed together around Lake Attersee, a pristine destination (then and today) with exquisite panoramas. They regularly summered together in various villas along the lake, which today can be toured through the Klimt Artist Trail, organized by Sandra Tetter, director Gustav Klimt Center on Lake Attersee art center, which transports visitors to the artist’s time at the site where he created over 40 landscape paintings.

When Klimt died in 1918, part of his estate went to Flöge, and his purported last words were, “Get Emilie.” Klimt imbued Vienna with a golden luster that mirrors his own artistic achievements. For this, he has become a ubiquitous figure in the arts world, whereas Flöge has fallen into relative obscurity. Her legacy does live on, however, from an honorary grave in the Wien-Simmering cemetery to the global revival of attribution occurring today. Even Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli referenced Flöge’s “Reformkleid,” through liberated shapes and opulent patterns, with their Fall/Winter 2015 collection for Valentino.

A dazzling contemporary cultural attraction for its art history, grand café culture, extravagant ball season, and sheer natural beauty, Austria’s charm parallels that of Flöge’s—and to think of visiting Vienna or Lake Attersee means looking to her future-forward values and what they mean today.

Back in Vienna after 8 years! 🥳🥳🥳

We took the train and arrived in the city by late afternoon, which meant there was enough time to eat apple strudel and other pastries from Cafe Demel, take a jaunt through Hofburg Palace and Museum Quartier, eat wiener schnitzel and tafelspitz at Plachuttas, and walk through Stephansplatz on the way back to our hotel. Stephansdom (well, and the whole area) at night is absolutely lovely.

A few thoughts: 1) I’d forgotten just how impressive Vienna is as a city. While Prague is charming, Vienna is... grand. Even Hofburg, my least favourite palace in the city, took my breath away. 2) I can confirm I’m still very much allergic to horses. There are WAY too many horses in the Innere Stadt - the sheer concentration of horse smells is killing me 😩.

Historic city of music on the Danube, Vienna is steeped in the legacy of Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Schubert, Strauss and Mahler. Naturally music is a fervent part of the Austrian soul.

Amongst Imperial Palaces of the Hapsburg dynasty, cathedrals, museums and galleries prepare yourself for a noteworthy architectural feast.

Yet modern Vienna blends with its historic past creating a wonderful European cultural vacation city waiting for the GLBT traveler to experience.

Renowned for its distinct café culture and imperial nostalgia, Vienna boasts a sizeable gay and lesbian scene. With a café on every corner serving Viennese coffee specialties and much more, several of these coffee houses have been claimed by our community. Plus numerous cocktail bars, nightclubs, restaurants, shops and spas are eager to welcome the gay tourist and make them feel right at home.

But even beyond the obvious gay and lesbian gathering spots, Vienna has a very queer history. For centuries homosexuals have left their distinctive marks on Austrian arts, culture and politics, sometimes subtle, yet always noticeable. Often a gay visitor is confronted with the truth about an historic figure when they discover he or she was "family".

A couple of sightseeing tours of Vienna combine the city's gay history with a fascinating walking tour of the old city. These can be found in the Vienna Queer Guide published by the gay-friendly parc central residences brochure    Vienna Tourist Board and available by mail in advance of your visit upon request or at their website for immediate downloading.

One tour commences at the Belvedere Palace, the summer residence of the gay Prince Eugene of Savoy (1663-1736), the other starts at the famous Vienna State Opera House which was built by architects who were both business and life partners. Each of these tours will give a fascinating retrospective of Vienna's gay past as you discover the city's current gay community hang-outs. Even Franz Schubert earns his place on the tour along with several other well known names from Austrian royalty.

With over one hundred and twenty museums, galleries and palaces to visit during your stay this is a city with much to offer every desire and curiosity. Anyone with an inquisitive mind or sense of adventure will be dazzled by everything which is Vienna.

The Ringstrasse boulevard-once the showcase of the monarchy-completely encircles the historic city center. A sightseeing tour by streetcar ride around the "ring" is a five kilometer stretch of magnificent buildings including the Imperial Palace, the Vienna State Opera, City Hall, the University plus several museums and galleries. The golden statue of Johann Strauss and the Mozart memorial are both located in beautiful parks along the Ringstrasse.

With so much history to explore it's hard to decide where to begin. However a few places stand out as priorities for memorable learning experiences.

The House of Music is a must to understand everything which musical notes or scores mean to Vienna and the world. With over 5,000 square meters of space located in the historical palace of Arch Duke Charles of the Hapsburg Dynasty, this hands-on exhibit traces the science of music, the great composers and musicians of the past and today's musicians. You can even be the virtual conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic and the orchestra will obey your baton commands and give you their reaction to your musical talent - applause or jeers! After your tour, the attic of the building houses the Cantino Café where you can enjoy Tapas and other delicacies surrounded by a roof-top view of the city and St. Stephan's Cathedral.

The Austrian National Library is the country's major scientific library and the building was commissioned by Emporer Charles VI, with the structure completed in 1726 and fresco decoration continuing until 1730. The baroque State Hall is one of the most aesthetic historical libraries in the world. Together with marble floors and statues, nutwood bookcases housing about 200,000 books and fresco ceilings this is a breathtaking example of an eighteenth century baroque library which today is kept in immaculate condition. The sheer majesty of this building alone is worthy of the trip to Vienna.

Schonbrunn Palace plus the Imperial Apartments in the Hofburg was the summer residence of the Hapsburgs and is just a short fifteen minute drive from the old city. Of the total 1,441 rooms in the palace complex, today forty state rooms in the main building are open to the public. The surrounding grounds include architectural features such as the Gloriette, the Neptune Fountain, and the Roman Ruin which can be viewed in their historically authentic state. The Maze, Labyrinth and Privy Gardens occupy 2700 square meters with a range of playful activities to discover and explore. This is a World Cultural Heritage Site and is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Vienna and one tour will make you realise how it earned this distinction.

The characteristic interconnected Museums Quartier features a breathtaking combination of architecture from many different eras. Here you will also find the modern structures of the Leopold Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. Admire works by Andy Warhol or modernist artists from Klimt to Kokoschka or dine in the exquisite Die Halle restaurant or one of the many cafes in the complex. Throughout the year there is a wide range of exhibitions and activities to enjoy amongst this ensemble of buildings both inside and out.

A must-visit is the Museum of Applied Arts and the ground-floor restaurant Osterreicher im MAK serving local Viennese cuisine including wild game. The restaurant's philosophy is to serve moderately priced, modestly proportioned dishes thus allowing two or even three course meals. A giant wine bottle chandelier over the central bar accentuates the historic ceiling and the Ring Window (a small steel balcony) is an ideal spot for leisurely drinks at any time of the day. Here great atmosphere and exquisite food are guaranteed by proprietor and renowned Chef Helmut Osterreicher.

After the enchanting interiors some outdoor activities might be in order. The Naschmarkt (outdoor market) offers an exotic journey exploring everything that Austrians enjoy as local fare. Fruits and vegetables, meat and fish offer a symphony of color as you wander through the market stalls and alleys searching for whatever may be your fancy. The specialty vendors include home-made vinegars, oils, wines, a variety of breads (for which the Austrians are famous), pastries and other local delicacies which will inspire any palate. You can select your snacks and eat as you go or enjoy one of the many cafés within the market grounds.

On the edge of the market is the popular gay Café Savoy which opens at 5PM daily, the perfect time to end your meandering amongst the merchant's stalls to enjoy a comfortable chair and a cocktail. This traditional Viennese coffeehouse dates back to the Imperial era which is immediately apparent when you encounter the plush furnishings and stucco walls. On Saturdays the Savoy also opens in the mornings when an eclectic flea market, popular with the gay community, takes place in the Naschmarkt.

Closer to the University you can find one of the brightest stars in the (coffee) skies over Vienna - the chic, gay Café Berg. Adjacent to the gay bookstore Lowenherz (Lionheart), this café has comfortable seating and giant windows affording a view for those who want to see and be seen. Open from 10am each day this is a popular café plus an excellent restaurant renowned for its Sunday brunches.

Bar hopping in Vienna will take you through a variety of small, charming establishments. If you've been shopping on Mariahilfer Strasse (one of the most popular and longest shopping streets in Vienna) the X Bar is located in a courtyard just off this street. It provides a perfect sanctuary to rest your weary legs and indulge in a beverage before your next foray into spending paradise.

After a stroll along Karntner Strasse amidst trendy department stores in the inner city, one can find a gay refuge in the Versteck Bar (German for "hiding-place"). This is probably Vienna's smallest gay bar, cozy and intimate, within a short walk of St. Stephan's Cathedral.

Following a refreshing beverage or a perk up with a specialty coffee, strolling down the exclusive Kohlmarkt will reward you with Armani, Gucci, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Prada and many more designer boutiques for shopping bliss. There are many more neighbourhoods which boast the best occupational shopping to be found anywhere in the world and this could be your whole vacation if you have the stamina and credit cards to match

Then take a step back in time for a special treat and be sure to visit Wiener Schokoladekonig the intimate old world chocolate shop of Wolfgang Leschanz.. Located on Freisingergasse 1 near St. Stephan's Cathedral where chocolate is an art form in the Viennese tradition of incomparable exquisite sweets. Who doesn't need a sugar buzz every once in a while?

For nightlife you might want to commence at Mango Bar where most local gays begin their evening. With all its mirrors, good music and variety of cocktails it's popular with the younger crowd. A recent addition to Vienna's gay nightlife is Felixx which has quickly become one of the fixtures of the bar scene. The central location, the comfortable interior, the quick and handsome waiters create a combination which every patron comes to enjoy. As the evening progresses the Nightshift and Sling clubs cater to the gay crowd that are late bloomers and want to party until 4am or beyond. Each club is very popular with locals and tourists intent on partying hard and enjoying the dawn with it's invigorating sunrise.

If you have ever enjoyed time at a gay spa or even if it's your first time, the Kaiserbrundl is a unique world class experience unto itself. The younger brother of Emperor Franz Josef was one of the original patrons.
