I'm creating this blog to give people a view of the city I live in. I realize that my personal blog is not turning into a very articulate vision of the city itself. So, if you want to see Wien (Vienna, Vien, Viena, etc.) Keep a look out for blog postings here.
The city of Wien is divided into Bezirke, or districts. I will attempt to give "snapshots" of the city's Bezirke, but I will focus on those closest to where I live my life. I'll also probably give some history tips about certain locations, but please don't consider me a scholarly source. If you are planning on visiting this beautiful city and have any questions, I haven't been here long (Not quite five months) so I would be happy to answer what I can, but I'm still learning, too!
I'm also working on developing my own understanding of the history of Vienna from patch work of sources. This is not intended to be a scholarly writing, but if you would like to get more information on the subjects I talk about, I've listed some of my favorite online sources.
Honestly, wikipedia has good info on Vienna. Obviously, check their sources, but it's a good place to start.
The History of the University of Vienna
AEIOU
And the History of Vienna from Wien.at
And, for reading, I've gotten great information from the history of Austria from Englishman Gordon Brooks-Shepherd's The Austrians: A Thousand Year Odessey
