Stahlwelt in Linz at dusk

Learn, marvel and reflect

Tackle one’s history

You won’t find any ravages of time in Linz's museums; on the contrary! Here, the museums are also taking on the task of coming to terms with their own history.

Where literature can be found in Vienna

Viennese locations around writing

Sometimes the Viennese buildings and palaces, in which, for example, the museums or libraries are located, are once again worth a story of their own because of their history.

At home in the coffee house

Viennese coffee houses as havens of literature

Salonières, who invited people to "network" in their palaces, as well as coffeehouses for reading and discussing have not only existed in Vienna since Berta Zuckerkandl (her salon was above today's Café Landtmann). Salon life has been actively cultivated since the 18th century, and the first newspapers were published in coffee houses as early as 1720. It was precisely these newspapers that ensured that artists, literati and newspapermen met and continue to meet regularly in the coffee house. Or as the coffee house owner and writer Alfred Polgar said: "In the coffee house you’ll meet people who want to be alone, but need company to do so.”

Vienna, city of my dreams

Known literature locations

Nowadays, not many dare to read thick tomes like "Die Strudlhofstiege" or "The Last Days of Mankind", which are a reflection of the moral image of Vienna after the turn of the century and later. That's a pity, because that way we would sometimes see today's Vienna with different eyes.

Abbey symphonies, cafes and sweets

Mozart is everywhere. 

Mozart can still be encountered today in many places in Austria if you keep your eyes and ears open. Of particular interest: his stays with Father Leopold at Lambach Abbey, a Benedictine monastery in Upper Austria.
