Add to basketThe period of Viennese Modernism is widely regarded as Europe's cultural heyday. This was when Vienna, with a population of two million, was the capital of the Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy and a melting pot of European cultures. Around 85 , a fundamental push for urban renewal was initiated with the re-planning of the city's Ringstrasse. As a result, new palaces and novel building types emerged throughout Vienna, reflecting both social change and technological progress. 3 contemporary texts construct a picture of Vienna in the period between 85 and 945. The authors' polemics, critiques, and descriptions provide vivid testimony to this urban transformation whose impact is felt to this day. Summarized in chapters, they reflect the decisive tendencies of the time. An indispensable compendium. The most important contemporary texts on Vienna in the period 85 - 945 Chronologically structured and thematically arranged Texts by contemporary architects, sociologists, political theorists, critics, novelists, and journalists.

Die Wiener Moderne gilt als kulturelle Hochblüte Europas: Das Wien dieser Zeit ist Hauptstadt der k. u. k. Monarchie und ein zwei Millionen Einwohner:innen zählender Schmelztegel europäischer Kulturen. Etwa 1850 wird mit der Neuplanung der Ringstraße ein fundamentaler Schub zur Stadterneuerung eingeleitet. In der Folge entstehen Palais und neue Bautypen in ganz Wien, die den gesellschaftlichen Wandel und den technischen Fortschritt abbilden.
306 zeitgenössische Texte konstruieren ein Bild von Wien in der Zeit zwischen 1850 und 1945. Die Autor:innen sind Akteur:innen, die mit ihren Polemiken, Kritiken und Beschreibungen ein lebendiges Zeugnis von diesem bis heute nachwirkenden Stadtumbau geben. Zusammengefasst in Kapiteln, spiegeln sie die maßgeblichen Tendenzen der Zeit wider. Ein unverzichtbares Kompendium.
