Vienna: This is Grätzel’s relaxation, preparing the ground where Viennese’s originals can thrive – the city with the highest quality of life often cited. But Vienna is also the capital of a sky storm that constantly scratches the mark of two million people. In the second part of this better production, director Chico Klein visits new areas with distinct architecture that give the ever-changing city a new face, such as the WU campus, Sonnwendviertel near the new main station, and the high-rise buildings on the Danube plateau, which have already given Vienna a skyline. , and aspirin stats. Archival footage reveals the impact of change on new neighborhoods in just a decade.
The main axes of this issue are the pride of the homeland and the border rivalry between the provinces and their residents. Singer-songwriter Ernst Molden says: The more similar the circles, the more rivalry. Even after so many years, actress Michaux Friesz must have been called a “traitor” because she went from Dobling’s bourgeoisie to Hitzing’s bourgeoisie. Otto Schenk has been a crowd favorite with city dwellers since childhood. It was always unreasonable for him to move to the outskirts of the city or even to the countryside. Wienerlied musician Roland Neuwirth lived in that part of Hernals where circles meet – enjoy the view of the gorgeous Wilhelminian villas from the “ugly town hall”.
At the end of the day, Chico Klein moves from densely populated areas to oases of calm: in the foothills of the Prater meadows and in Lubau. Areas that make you think not of big cities, but of a natural paradise.

“My Best in Vienna” is a production of ORF, made by Felix Preisach Medinwerkstadt.
