Vienna
From border garrison of the Roman Empire to magnificent Baroque seat of the Hapsburgs, Vienna's fortunes swung between survival and expansion. By the late nineteenth century it had become the western capital of the sprawling Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, but the twentieth century saw it degraded to a 'hydrocephalus' cut off from its former economic hinterland. After the inglorious Nazi interlude, Vienna began the long climb back to the prosperous and cultivated city of 1.7 million inhabitants that it is today. Subjected to constant infusions of new, Vienna has both assimilated and resisted cultural influences from outside, creating its own sui generis culture.

The guide itself is a useful and systematic compendium containing fifty maps that make navigating the city and locating the individual sites a breeze. For anyone interested in, or planning to visit, this beloved European capital, Vienna: A City Guide is essential reading.

Außer Haus
Wenige Kilometer von Wien entfernt, mitten im Wienerwald, steht heute ein altes Großbürgerhaus mit deutlich erkennbaren Montafoner Bauelementen. Wie kommt ein Montafoner Haus in den Wienerwald? Vor mehr als hundert Jahren baut Otto Burger eine für die damalige Zeit beispiellos moderne Villa in Schruns. Zwei Jahrhunderte bewegter Geschichte begleiten eine Montafoner Familie über sechs Generationen durchs Montafon, nach Deutschland, Frankreich und bis nach Amerika. Die damalige Zeit lebt in der Gegenwart hautnah auf, wenn Otto Burgers Nachkommen in alle Windrichtungen versprengt werden - und nicht nur sie. Eine 100-Dollarnote, der Inhalt einer alten Teekiste, ein Kopftuch und eine antike Bibel lösen das Rätsel des Montafoner Hauses im Wienerwald. Die Nachkommen von Otto Burger finden wieder zusammen: in einer alten Montafoner Großbürgervilla. Im Wienerwald, oder im Montafon.
