Vienna city walks – discover Vienna your way<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Tour Appearance and Reality – Vienna at Second Glance<\/h3><\/div>

Did the devil really take a hand in the north tower of St. Stephen’s Cathedral? And where was actually the first coffee house in Vienna? “Appearance and reality – Vienna at second glance” is about looking twice, because not everything is always as it seems or as it is told in legends and traditions. Your spirit of discovery will be stimulated and sometimes your own interpretation of what the city is showing is required. The tour starts at Schwedenplatz and ends at St. Stephen’s Cathedral, whose facade also holds some surprises. Now I am curious.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Floridsdorf – monastery grounds, Danube regulation, Red Vienna and resistance<\/h3><\/div>

Floridsdorf, today the 21st district of Vienna, consists of several formerly independent municipalities and has belonged to Vienna only since the end of the 19th century. For a long time, the area was characterized by the unregulated Danube river and its tributaries, later a typical workers’ district and until today still used for agriculture. The district takes its name from an abbot from Klosterneuburg, the third highest church in Vienna stands on Kinzerplatz and in front of the magnificent district office Am Spitz those resistance fighters lost their lives in April 1945 who wanted to spare the Viennese even more suffering by handing over the city to the Red Army without a fight.<\/p>\n

During our walk through Floridsdorf we will visit sites from the district history and at the same time get an impression of the lively present-day life in this part of Transdanubia.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

“Classics” from the opera via Michaelerplatz to St. Stephen’s Cathedral<\/h3><\/div>

We walk through Vienna’s chicest shopping street, Kohlmarkt, and across the Graben with its Baroque Plague Column to St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the city’s landmark and focal point.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

City walk to the highlights II
Viennese squares and quiet alleyways<\/h3><\/div>

When were the squares of Vienna’s inner city created? What happened there, who lived there and what traces of history remain recognizable?<\/p>\n

Neuer Markt, Franziskanerplatz, Hoher Markt, Judenplatz, Am Hof and Freyung: as places of lively urban life, the squares have each retained their own character to this day. For the paths between the squares we choose, wherever possible, less frequented Viennese alleys.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

To the Heurigen in Stammersdorf – A pleasure hike in the north of Vienna<\/h3><\/div>

The “Heurige” belongs to Vienna. By this we mean both the wine of the last harvest and the establishments where it is served. In the blog and in the
\n Heurigenglossary<\/strong>
\n<\/a> you can read more about it.<\/p>\n

On this tour we walk through the center of Stammersdorf to the Kellergasse and visit two Heurigen (wine taverns). During the walk I will tell you about Stammersdorf and its history, the Viennese wine and the Heurigen culture. At the Heurigen you can taste typical dishes and the Stammersdorf wine. If you prefer grape juice, the trip is not less worthwhile.<\/p>\n

The most beautiful walk in Stammersdorf is in spring and early summer and in autumn. We walk over cobblestones and slightly uphill for about 45 minutes each way. If you’re not so good on your feet, just give me a call. Together we will find a solution.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Jewish Vienna<\/h3><\/div>

Since the Middle Ages, the history of Vienna has been linked to the history of the Jews living here. It is a centuries-long history of construction and destruction, of tolerance and oppression, a history of politics and a history of individual lives, the places of which we can only partially trace today.<\/p>\n

There are various routes for the “Jewish Vienna” city walk in the 1. and 2nd district (Leopoldstadt) and places of remembrance. On request, we can also look up addresses of personal (family) history. The exact route to historical and current places of Jewish life in Vienna will be coordinated before the walk.<\/p>\n

This tour can also be combined with a visit to the Jewish Museum. Please let me know what you are particularly interested in.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sonnwendviertel – where Vienna doesn’t look a bit old<\/h3><\/div>

5,500 apartments for more than 13,000 people, 20,000 jobs, an educational campus and a large new park – these are just some of the figures that describe the Sonnwendviertel.<\/p>\n

Vienna 1900 – City walk, coffee house and Museum Leopold<\/h3><\/div>

At the turn of the 20th century, Vienna was one of the most fascinating cities in Europe. In music, architecture, philosophy, politics, social science, medicine, literature, art and design, brilliant, well-connected women and men contributed to a cultural density that many historians regard as the “birth of modernity”.<\/p>\n

The first part of our walk takes us to buildings on the Ringstrasse dating from around 1900. We take a break at Caf\u00e9 Pr\u00fcckel and discuss the political circumstances in Vienna before the First World War. The second part of the tour takes place in the Museum Leopold in the Museumsquartier, where we round off the impressions we have gained with selected objects in the “Vienna 1900” exhibition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Art Nouveau and Red Vienna – two formative generations of Viennese architecture<\/h3><\/div>

Vienna around 1900 stands for the fading monarchy, the fin de si\u00e8cle and its immense cultural intensity. The buildings of Otto Wagner, the formal language the design of the Secession and the interiors of the Wiener Werkst\u00e4tten represent a new era.<\/p>\n

A generation later, the First World War had been lost, the monarchy had come to an end, the great Austria had been reduced to a small country and the city was faced with completely new construction tasks: healthy and affordable housing for the population was urgently needed. A new generation of architects took up the challenge and created the legendary buildings of Red Vienna.<\/p>\n

On this walk through two completely different parts of the city, we see iconic Art Nouveau buildings such as the Postsparkasse and the Secession as well as significant municipal buildings on the Margareteng\u00fcrtel. In between, we cross a part of Vienna by bus and streetcar.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Meet the Ladies – a walk to memorial sites for Viennese women from the Middle Ages to the present day<\/h3><\/div>

Wherever we go in Vienna, we encounter the great – and not so great – men of history at every turn. But where are the women? We often search in vain for the female rulers, artists, scientists, politicians and entrepreneurs of past and present times. <\/p>\n

This walk sets out in search of Viennese women and their places. We seek out memorials and places of activity and talk about the lives and achievements of Viennese women throughout the centuries and across all areas of public and private life. We also take a detour to the arcaded courtyard of the University of Vienna, where – belatedly but nevertheless – seven Viennese women scientists were honored with works of art dedicated to them in 2016. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Former General Hospital and University of Vienna \u2013 History of Science and More<\/h3><\/div>

The General Hospital, founded in 1784, and the University on the Ring, built at the end of the 19th century, are today modern places of learning with a long connection to the history of the city. We visit the buildings and memorial sites that are associated with them. <\/p>\n

Many of them commemorate the great men in the history of science in Vienna and finally also women scientists who have long been overshadowed. They also remind us of those among them who were persecuted, expelled, and killed by the Nazis. <\/p>\n

Others bear witness to the fates of so-called ordinary people, the sick, the disabled, the insane, and single mothers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
