This chronologically organized survey of Vienna from its origins to
the present does not presuppose any advance knowledge of Central
European history. Accenting the cultural, political, and social
influences, the authors cover all of the major periods of
development: the Roman settlements, the medieval residence of the
Babenbergers and the early Habsburgs; the Turkish sieges; the
Reformation and Counter Reformation; the culture of the Baroque
court; reforms of the Enlightenment; the lifestyle of Viennese
Biedermeier; political and cultural transformations in the age of
Emperor Francis Joseph; interwar Vienna; the Nazi occupation;
post-World War II four-power occupation; and the development of the
city from 1955 till today. In all cases the authors show how past
historical events and developments still influence the city today.
Special attention is given to the development of traditions and
attitudes which are peculiar to Vienna and the Viennese.
