Vienna is unique amongst world capitals in its consistent
international importance over the centuries. From the ascent of the
Habsburgs as Europe's leading dynasty to the Congress of Vienna,
which reordered Europe after Napoleon, to bridge- building summits
during the Cold War, it is the Austrian capital that has been the
scene of key moments in European and world affairs. History has
been shaped by scores of figures influenced by their time in
Vienna, including: Empress Maria Theresa, Count Metternich, Bertha
von Suttner, Theodore Herzl, Gustav Mahler, Adolf Hitler, Josef
Stalin, John F. Kennedy and many others. In a city of great
composers and thinkers it is here that both the most positive and
destructive ideas of recent history have developed. From its time
as the capital of an imperial superpower, through war, dissolution,
dictatorship to democracy Vienna has reinvented itself and its
relevance to the rest of the world.
