At home in the coffee house

Robert Musil, Egon Friedell, Anton Kuh and Arthur Schnitzler as well as the bestselling author Stefan Zweig came here to read, argue and drink coffee. Today, you can drink your melange in an impressively shiny ambience close to the beautiful, large windows and the oriels dedicated to various artists.

The most legendary regular guest at the Bräunerhof was Thomas Bernhard, no matter how high the waves tended to get in the media because of his social criticism. In his story "Wittgenstein's Nephew" he created a monument to this coffee house. On the walls, we are still reminded of theater favorites of yesteryear with pictures.

Due to its location directly opposite the Volkstheater, Café Raimund was always also an artists' café. Egon Friedell, Hans Weigel, Milo Dor, Ilse Aichinger and Ingeborg Bachmann, but also Jörg Mauthe and Friederike Mayröcker sat here and had heated discussions.

Because the original interior was designed by Adolf Loos, who in turn was friends or enemies with all the literary figures of his time, the museum quickly became a hot spot for authors such as Joseph Roth, Roda Roda, Franz Werfel and Leo Perutz. The artists of the nearby Secession also used to stop by here frequently.
