Vienna's Ringstrasse Coffeehouses and Slavonic Creative Flair
My focus on Vienna's Ringstrasse coffeehouses is defined by Slavonic heritage and entrepreneurial leadership, and the Viennese coffeehouse as 'intangible cultural heritage' status- an attribute formally recognised by Unesco in 2011. I focus on these attributes in my Book Series: "Introducing Vienna's café culture", whereby I present a chronological historical to contemporary insight to the most charming of heritage coffeehouses. In this book, the second of my series, I detail leading Ringstrasse coffeehouses, starting with Café Frauenhuber (1824) and Café Vienne (1829), established just preceding the Ring epoch of development. Thereafter, I address heritage 1840s coffeehouses: Café Eiles (1840) and Café Griensteidl (1847). I then illustrate key Ringstrasse coffeehouses in chronological order of establishment: Café Schwarzenberg (1861), Café Ritter (1867), and lastly, Café Imperial (1873). In Book 3, the next book of my series, I continue to elaborate on core Ringstrasse cafes, of the late 19th century, with an illustrative historic to modern account of Café Landtmann (1873) and corresponding cafes of this epoch. Of relevance, most cafes discussed are still in operation today, enabling me to illuminate Unesco's recognition of 'intangible cultural heritage' status. Comparatively, Book 1 highlighted Café Demel (1786) and Café Dommayer (1823) [1783] as landmark coffeehouses. Markedly, I contend that Colonel Kolschitzky, a Polish Diplomat/Nobleman, and leading hero of the Siege of Vienna (1683) (supported by Polish King Sobieski the Third), was one of the first to acquire a Viennese coffeehouse licence, thus, initiating Vienna's café culture. Kolschitzky's innovative move frames my Slavonic-focussed enlightened Joy de Vivre, further omnipresent within the social and cultural context of Viennese coffeehouse life. Also, in this book (and overall Series) I present an account of cafes' menu cards, plus tantalising coffees, cakes, pastries, and savoury cuisines on offer influenced by Slavonic and continental palates.
