:''This article is about the city and federal state in Austria. For other places or things called Vienna, see Vienna (disambiguation).'' ---- Vienna (German language: ''Wien'' [viːn]) is the capital of Austria, and also one of Austria's nine States of Austrias (''Bundesland Wien''). Situated on both sides of the river Danube, Vienna is 40 kilometres from the Slovakia border, and 50 kilometres from the Slovakian capital, Bratislava. Vienna is surrounded by the Austrian federal state of Lower Austria. With a population of about 1.6 million, Vienna is the largest city and the cultural and Politics of Austria of Austria. The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), as well as other United Nations Offices and many international institutions and companies, are located in Vienna. == History == ''Main article: History of Vienna'' Vienna was originally a Celt city founded around 500 BC. In 15 BC, it became a frontier city ("Vindobona") guarding the Roman Empire against the German tribes to the north. In the Middle Ages, it became the home of the Babenberg and, later, the Habsburg dynasties and through the latter the capital of the Holy Roman Empire and later the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Ottoman Empire Turkish invasions of Europe in the 16th century and 17th century centuries were stopped two times in total at Vienna. See the Battle of Vienna (1683). In 1815, Vienna was the site of the Congress of Vienna which redrew national boundaries in Europe after the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte at Battle of Waterloo. During the Cold War, Vienna was a hotbed of international espionage owning to its location in neutral Austria, between the Western and Eastern blocs. Other famous Viennese features include the Lipizzans of the Spanish Riding School, the Vienna Boys' Choir (''Wiener S�ngerknaben''), Wiener Schnitzel, Sachertorte, and various pastries. Viennese cafes claim to have invented the process of filtering coffee from the captured baggage after the second Battle of Vienna of 1683. === Historical population === The population of Vienna increased sharply during the Austria-Hungary period (1867-1918), when there was a lot of immigration from other parts of the country. However, after World War I, a lot of Czechs returned to their ancestral country, which resulted in a decline in the population. Following the immigration at that time, about one third of the population of Vienna has a Slavs or Hungary family name. As can be seen, the population gradually declined up to the 1980s. 1800: 231,900 inhabitants

== Districts == [[Image:Vienna-Un-Building.jpg|thumb|right|300px|United Nations complex in Vienna, with the non-affiliated Austria Center Vienna in front - picture taken from TV tower in nearby park. This photo was taken before the massive expansion of this area, which started in the 1990s. Today there are several skyscrapers and dozens more low-rise buildings on this site.]] ''The city itself'' is composed of 23 districts (''Bezirke''), which although they all have their own names are numbered for the sake of convenience. Legally, they are not districts in the sense of administrative bodies with explicit powers (such as the districts in the other Austrian states, but mere subdivisions of the city administration. However, there are elections on the district level, which gives the representatives of the districts some political clout (e.g. in matters of planning, traffic etc.). #Innere Stadt (city centre) #Leopoldstadt, Vienna #Landstra�e, Vienna #Wieden #Margareten #Mariahilf #Neubau, Vienna #Josefstadt #Alsergrund, Vienna #Favoriten #Simmering, Vienna #Meidling, Vienna #Hietzing #Penzing #Rudolfsheim-F�nfhaus (see [http://www.fuenfzehn.at/ ]) #Ottakring #Hernals #W�hring #D�bling #Brigittenau #Floridsdorf #Donaustadt #Liesing By looking at the postal code it can be determined in which district a given address is located; 1XXA - 1 denotes Vienna, XX the district number (if it is a single digit then with a leading zero), A is the number of the post office (irrelevant in this case, usually zero). Example: 1070 for Neubau. Exceptions of that are 1300 for the Vienna International Airport located in Lower Austria near Schwechat, 1400 for the United Nations Complex, 1450 for the Austria Center, and 1500 for the Austrian UN-Forces. == Religions == Vienna is the seat of the Viennese Roman Catholic archdiocese, and its acting Archbishop is Cardinal (Catholicism) Christoph Sch�nborn. The religions of the Viennese resident population is divided according to the 2001 census as follows: {| |Roman Catholic |49.2 % |- |No religion |25.6 % |- |Muslim |7.8 % |- |Orthodox Church |6.0 % |- |Protestant (mostly Lutheran): |4.7 % |- |Other or none indicated |6.7 % |} == Culture == [[Image:Hrdlicka_Memorial.JPG|thumb|250px|''Memorial against War and Fascism'' (1981-1991) by Alfred Hrdlicka at Albertinaplatz in the Innere Stadt]] ===Music, theatre and opera === :''Translated from [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien#Theater_.26_Oper here]'' Art and culture have a long tradition in Vienna, in the areas of theatre, opera and the fine arts. Aside from the Burgtheater which, together with its branch, the Akademie theater is considered one of the best theatres in the German - speaking world, the Volkstheater and the Theater in der Josefstadt also offer high - quality theatre entertainment. Also, there is a multitude of smaller theatres, often equal in quality to their larger counterparts and in many cases devoted to less mainstream forms of performing arts such as modern, experimental plays or cabaret. Vienna also offers a great many opportunities for fans of the opera: The Staatsoper and the Volksoper offer something for everyone, the latter being especially devoted to the typical Viennese operetta. Concerts of classical music are performed, among others, in the well - known Great Hall of the Wiener Musikverein and in the Wiener Konzerthaus. In addition, various concert venues offer concerts aimed at visitors, featuring the best known highlights of Viennese music (particularly the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Strauss). In recent years, the Theater an der Wien has become widely known for hosting premieres of musical. The most successful by far was "Elisabeth" which was afterwards translated into several foreign languages and performed all over the world. With the opening of the Haus der Musik in 2000, Vienna also has a "Museum of Sound" for all ages now. Finally, many Roman Catholic churches in central Vienna feature performances of religious or other music, including masses sung with classical music and organ. === Museums === : ''To be translated from [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien#Museen here]'' In the Hofburg, the Sisi Museum allows visitors to see the emperor's apartments as well as the silver chamber. Directly opposite the Hofburg is the ''Kunsthistorisches Museum'' (along with Vienna's Natural History Museum (Vienna)) that houses multiple paintings by the old masters. === Architecture === : ''To be translated from [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien#Architektur here]'' There are buildings of all architecture styles in Vienna, from the Romanesque architecture Ruprechtskirche to the Baroque architecture Karlskirche, and classicism buildings all the way through to modern architecture. Likewise, Art Nouveau left many architectural traces in Vienna. The Secession, Karlsplatz Metropolitan Railway Station, and the Kirche am Steinhof by Otto Wagner rank among the best known examples of Art Nouveau in the world. === Other culture === Between Michaelerplatz and Josefsplatz is the Spanish Riding School. It is a famous equestrian school. In terms of folk dancing, the Viennese Kathreintanz is the best known. ==Education== (See_also_the_Austrian_Austrian_euro_coins">Image:Sezession.JPG|thumb|300px|The \"Sezession\" building. (See also the Austrian Austrian euro coins Vienna is also Austria's main center of education and home to many universities, professional colleges and gymnasiums. ===Universities=== *Academy of Fine Arts Vienna *Medical University of Vienna *University of Applied Arts Vienna *University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna *University of Music and Dramatic Arts Vienna *University of Vienna *University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna *Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration *Vienna University of Technology *Webster University Vienna ===International Schools=== *American International School of Vienna *Danube International School *Vienna International School == Transportation == 12 List of Danube bridges connect the city, which is divided by the Danube and the Viennese Danube Canal. === Public transporation === [[Image:ULF.jpg|thumb|300px|The Ultra_Low_Floor tram stock, designed by Porsche and built by Siemens boasts an entry height of 18 cm (7 inches), the lowest in the world. About 150 of these vehicles are currently in use on Vienna's tram network, along with around 400 older high-floor models.]] Vienna has a large public transportation network. * Vienna S-Bahn * Vienna U-Bahn * Viennese local railways AG (Lokalbahn Wien-Baden) * [http://www.wienerlinien.co.at/ Wiener Linien] (Company operating U-Bahn, trams, and most Bus) Vienna has an extensive tram network, which is one of the largest in the world, and also large number of bus routes. As all routes in densely populated areas operated at dense intervals, even during off-peak hours, it's usually not necessary to remember the time when the train or bus goes. Public transportation is thus used quite a lot. The Viennese public transport is connected to services of train and bus lines operating 50 kilometres into the surrounding countryside, which can be used under the same system of tickets. Public transportation mostly closes during night hours, but there is a special bus service, the ''Nightline'', operating on the most important routes. However, most of these buses run only every thirty minutes. Vienna uses an "honor system." There are no gates or ticket checks when boarding transit lines, but ticket checks will occur, oftentimes by undercover employees. In Vienna there are also two park railways: the Liliputbahn Prater in the Viennese Prater and the Donauparkbahn in Danube Park. === Railways === Historically, all traffic facilities were oriented towards the main capitals and residential cities of the Austro-Hungarian Hapsburg consequently, Vienna has several train stations that form the beginning of several train lines: * Vienna Franz Josefs Station is the starting point of the Franz Josefs Railway * Vienna West Station is starting point of the Austrian West Railway * Vienna South Station (Former South and East Station) for the Austrian South Railway and the Austrain East Railway as well as several through train stations: * Vienna H�tteldorf on the West Railway * Vienna Heiligenstadt on the Franz Josefs Railway * Vienna North Station (Viennese lines: Praterstern) on the Austrian North Railway. The convenient North Station was destroyed in World War II and was not built again after the decay of the Danube monarchy, especially when the Iron Curtain closed almost all passenger traffic to the north. Since World War II a smaller station called "Vienna North" has served as a transit station between S-Bahns, the U1 U-Bahn line, trams, and buses. In 2004 it was essentially completely torn down and is being rebuilt. In 2008 the extended U2 will also stop here. * Vienna Meidling (Philadelphia bridge) - South Railway. This is Vienna most frequented transit station. * Vienna Central (Landstra�e) Between these, there are still many smaller stations that are particularly important for local passenger traffic. Since the mid 1990s, the West and South stations have handled all long-distance travel. Many trains stop at H�tteldorf or Meidling, especially when inbound. In order to bundle all long-distance traffic it has become necessary to build a tunnel, colloquially known as the Wildschweintunnel ("boar tunnel"), underneath Lainzer Tiergarten linking the West Railway to the South Railway. The new bundled train line will connect to a new train station called Vienna-Central Europe Station that will be constructed somewhat to the south of today's South Station. This new station will give Vienna a main train station for the first time. === Road traffic === : ''To be translated from [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien#Stra�enverkehr here]'' Like the train lines, ''Bundesstra�en'' leave the city in a star shaped pattern. They are designated after their final destination (Prager Stra�e -- to Prague, Linzer Stra�e -- to Linz, Triester Stra�e -- to Trieste and Br�nner Stra�e -- to Brno). ''Bundesstra�en'' can be compared to U.S. Highway System in the United States, being two-lane in rural areas and multi-lane in urban areas. Three national autobahns leave Vienna in the westerly (A1), southernly (A2), and easterly directions (A4). Similar to the rail lines, they are commonly referred to after their exit direction (Westautobahn, S�dautobahn, and Ostautobahn). In addition, several spur and branch autobahns circle around the southern and eastern areas of the city. The western and northern areas were left mostly untouched because of the Wienerwald protected forest. === Air traffic === Southeast of Vienna is Vienna International Airport. In 2004, there were over 224,809 separate flights departing or arriving, and the airport was used by 14.8 million passengers. === Water transportation === : ''To be translated from [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien#Schifffahrt here]'' Vienna is connected to water by the Rhine-Main-Danube canal via the port in Rotterdam and its nearby German industry areas, as well as Eastern European countries up to the Black Sea. The planned Danube-Oder canal remains unfinished. == Leisure activities == === Nightlife === Vienna has a variety of nightlife options. Its low crime rate and extensive public transportation network make going out at night safe and convenient. Regular public transportation (subway, tram, and bus) runs until approximately 12:30. After this, nighttime bus lines provide service every half hour (fifteen minutes on some segments). Almost all night lines circle the inner city before heading outbound. Most lines are numerated the same as their corresponding daytime line. For example, if you take the 60 tramline followed by the U4 subway into the city, you can take the N60 bus directly from the city back out. At approximately 5 a.m. the daytime lines resume. Day and night lines now use the same tickets. Starting in the 1980s, the pedestrian zone between the St. Ruprecht's Church (the oldest in Vienna) and the Bermuda Br�u microbrewery became the now-popular "Bermuda Triangle." It is the one area of the inner city district where relatively loud music and noise is tolerated. Many bars and small clubs are located in this neighborhood. The First District in general has an abundance of night life options for any budget. There are many Irish pubs with pint prices starting at €2. On the other side of the price-spectrum are bars such as ''Sky Bar'' and ''Do & Co.'', which are frequented by the Austrian elite. Opening hours vary essentially by neighborhood noise ordinance agreements. In the summer, bars' outdoor seating often has to be vacated by 11 p.m. Generally there is an abundance of establishments open until 4 a.m. or later, especially on the weekend. Larger nightclubs are generally located further out. Popular ones include ''U4 Disco'', located on the U4 subway line, two medium sized clubs in the wine-producing neighborhood of Grinzing, and an ever-increasing amount of large clubs on the eastern side of the Danube, often located in shopping malls and cinema complexes. One popular club located near the center of the city is ''Flex'', which is on the shores of the Donaukanal, and, like ''U4'' is also located on the U4 subway line. ''Flex'' often features world-acclaimed dance music DJs. In the summer, the eastern shore of the Danube is very popular. It is called ''Copa Cagrana,'' which is a word-play of Copacabana and Kagran, which is a sub-district nearby. Starting in the late 1980s, the city undertook much effort to revitalize the area around the ''Westg�rtel'' (Western Beltway), which had become a red-light district. Today, large portions of the ''Westg�rtel'' have been modernized, with many restaurants, bars, and mini-clubs now located under the elevated tracks of the U6 subway line. Recently the Freihausviertel, right outside the First District by Karlsplatz has also gained some popularity for its restaurants. It includes the Naschmarkt, the major market in Vienna. Useful Nightlife Terminology: Austria, particularly Vienna, has very unique terminology for drinks. Here is the terminology commonly used: Beer Sizes: These are either ordered by name or small/large for the 0.3/0.5 L sizes. The names are usually one used for draft beer, as it is dispensed into glasses of the same name. * "Ein Pfiff": 0.2L / 6 U.S. oz. (not always available) Meaning: "A whistle" * "Ein Seidl" or ''Ein kleines Bier'': 0.3L / 10 U.S. oz. (common) * "Ein Kr�gerl" or ''Ein grosses Bier'' 0.5L / 17 U.S. oz. (common) Meaning: "A crocky" * "Ein Ma�" 1 Liter (usually only available in microbreweries) This term originates from Bavaria, and essentially means "a measurement." Wine Sizes: These are ordered in fractions of a liter * "Ein Achtel" 1/8 L / 4.25 U.S. oz. * "Ein Viertel" 1/4 L / 8.50 U.S. oz. It is also common to order a half-a-liter or a liter of wine with mineral water and then mix them to a desired concentration. The above mentioned quantities are also nearly always available pre-mixed with mineral water. This is called "Spritzer" ("sprayed"). So to order wine one would say "Ein Achtel/Viertel Rot (red) / Wei� (white), followed by the word "G'spritzt" if one wants it diluted. === Viennese coffeehouses === : Translated from [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien#Wiener_Kaffeehaus here]'' Viennese caf�s have an extremely long and distinguished history that dates back centuries, and the caffeine addictions of some famous historical patrons of the oldest are something of a local legend. Here also originated some of the earliest decaffeinated coffees � Kaffee Hag, which developed a decaffeination process around the turn of the century, uses its name as a trademark for decaf, which it continues to serve. The traditional coffee preparations are espresso of a lesser intensity than may be found Italy, served with (''Brauner'' or ''Wolf'') or without (''Schwartzer'' or ''B�r'') milk, and ''Kaffeeobers'' or ''Kaffee mit Schlagobers'' (or simply ''Schlag''), which are served with thickened cream. Addition of various alcohols is common, creating sweeter drinks, some of which are further given obviously recognisable Austrian names, e.g. ''Mozart Kaffee'' (mocha with Cherry Brandy and ''Schlagobers'') or ''Maria Theresa'' (mocha with a shot of orange liquor). Coffee is generally served along with lighter fare (although some desserts are not to be reckoned with lightly). Visitors to caf�s are welcome to take their time and enjoy the large selection of newspapers on offer. In addition to the many modern chrome-brightened 'Espressi', a number of 'real' Vienna coffeehouses still exist to maintain the original charm of this institution. === Viennese parks and gardens === Vienna possesses many park facilities and is one of the greenest cities in the world. The most famous parks and green areas are the ''Wiener Stadtpark'', the ''Burggarten'' and ''Volksgarten'', which belong to the ''Hofburg'', the ''Schlo�park'' of Castle Belvedere with the Vienna Botanic Gardens, the ''Donaupark'', the ''Sch�nbrunner Schlosspark'', the ''Prater'', the ''Augarten'', the ''Rathauspark'', the ''Lainzer Tiergarten'', the ''Dehnepark'', the ''Resselpark'', the ''Votivpark'', the ''Kurpark Oberlaa'', the ''Auer-Welsbach-Park'' and the ''T�rkenschanzpark'', ''Laaer-Berg'' with the Bohemian Prater and the foothills of the ''Wienerwald'' (Viennese Forest), which reaches into the outer areas of the city. Small parks, known by the Viennese as ''Beserlparks'', are everywhere in the inner-city areas. === Sport === : ''To be translated from [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien#Sport here]'' Vienna has become a popular host of many different sporting events including the Vienna City Marathon, which attracts more than 10,000 participants every year and normally takes place in May. In 2005 the Ice Hockey World Championships will take place in Austria, with the final being played in Vienna. After already being the stage of four Champions League (originally European Champion Clubs' Cup) finals (1964, 1987, 1990, 1995) the final of Euro 2008, the European Football Championships, will take place in Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium. Austria's capital is also the home of numerous sports teams. The best known of them are the local football (soccer) clubs FK Austria Wien (22 time Austrian national champions) and SK Rapid Wien (31 time Austrian national champions), though the oldest is First Vienna FC. Other important clubs are the Chrysler Vikings Vienna (American Football), who won the Eurobowl title as Europe's best American Football team in 2004, the Vienna Hot Volleys, one of Europe's premier Volleyball-organisations, and the Vienna Capitals (Ice Hockey). Vienna also had submitted a bid for the 1964 Summer Olympics. == Native Viennese == *Alfred Adler, founder of individual psychology *Ilse Aichinger, writer *Wolfgang Ambros, one of the founders of Austropop *Andr� Asriel, composer *Carl Auer von Welsbach, chemist *Alban Berg, composer *Ludwig Boltzmann, physicist *Arik Brauer, painter, singer, and poet *Martin Buber, philosopher *Georg Danzer, song writer *Elfi von Dassanowsky, singer, pianist, film producer *Heimito von Doderer, writer *Peter Drucker, economist *Albert Ehrenstein, writer *Falco (musician), singer and musician *Viktor Frankl, psychologist, neurologist, founder of Logo Therapy *Karl von Frisch, zoologist, animal psychologist, bee keeper, Nobel Prize Winner *Franz Grillparzer, playwright *Friedrich Hayek, economist, Nobel Prize Winner *Hugo von Hofmannsthal, writer, founder of the Salzburger Festspiele *Robert Horn, luxury leather accessory designer and style guru *Friedensreich Hundertwasser, artist, architect, painter *Ernst Jandl, poet and writer *Franz K�nig, Cardinal (Catholicism) Archbishop *Gustav Klimt, painter *Karl Kraus, satirist, publisher of "Die Fackel" *Wolfgang Kraus, essayist, leader for many years of the �sterreichische Gesellschaft f�r Literatur *Karl Landsteiner, doctor, bacteriaologist, discoverer of blood group, Nobel Prize Winner *Fritz Lang, director *Joseph Lanner, composer *Niki Lauda, race car driver and entrepreneur *B.M.
