Hallstatt is known for its production of salt, dating back to prehistoric times, and gave its name to the Hallstatt culture, a culture often linked to Celtic, Proto-Celtic, and pre-Illyrian people of the Early Iron Age Europe, c.800–450 BC. Some of the earliest archaeological evidence for the Celts was found in Hallstatt.In 1846, Johann Georg Ramsauer (1795–1874) discovered a large prehistoric cemetery near Hallstatt, which he excavated during the second half of the 19th century. Eventually the excavation would yield 1,045 burials, although no settlement has yet been found. This may be covered by the later village, which has long occupied the whole narrow strip between the steep hillsides and the lake.

salzburg
- [sound of music keepsake published by colorama] salzburg was an independent principality under rule of prince-archbishops for more than 1000 years.  The prince-archbishop held the authority of the pope north of the alps for the "holy roman empire of german nations".  He had the sovereignty to mint money; hold courts of justice, and collect taxes.  The salt from the durrnberg- the white gold- was the source of his financial success.  In 1803 archbishop hieronnymous graf colloredo fled to vienna to escape the advancing napoleonic troops.  Secularization came when salzburg was turned to a federal state of austria and established a provincial government in 1816.


 瓦豪河谷 The Wachau (German pronunciation: [vaˈxaʊ]) is an Austrian valley with a picturesque landscape formed by the Danube river. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations of Lower Austria, located midway between the towns of Melk and Krems.  A well-known place and tourist attraction is Dürnstein, where King Richard the Lion-Heart of Englandwas held captive by Duke Leopold V. It has been inferred that Krems and Melk were well settled establishments in the early Neolithic period between 4500 BC and 1800 BC. Wachau Valley's ancient history in the Neolithic period started with deforestation by the people of the land for cultivation and settlement.In 15 BC, the Celtic kingdom of Noricum became part of the Roman Empire. Since then the Empire's boundaries were made up along the Danube also in Wachau and the fortifications of the Limes were built along its southern banks, especially Castrum Favianis (what is now Mautern an der Donau) at the downstream end of the valley and some burgi (i.e. small watchtower-like fortresses) in the area of Rossatz-Arnsdorf municipality, the remains of which can still be seen today, most notably in Bacharnsdorf. Roman rule on the southern banks of the Danube came to an end when King Odoaker ordered the evacuation of the Latin speaking population in 488 AD. The name "wachu" as such was recorded as "locus Wahowa" in 853 AD and the name of "Krems" was recorded as Urbs Chremisa in 995 AD, marking it as the oldest Austrian town. The Babenberg Margraves, with Leopold I as their first king, ruled in Wachau from 976 AD. The 11th century marked an Austrian dukedom of Babenberg under Henry I, in 1156; it came under the great knightly family of the Wachau, the Kuenrings and later passed on to the Babenberg. With the dissipation of this line of rule, Duke Albrecht V (King Albrecht II) came to power in 1430. Between 1150 and 1839 AD, the four towns of St Michael, Wösendorf, Joching, and Weissenkirchen functioned independently. However, they formed a single entity as Wachau or Tal Wachau only in 1972. 
- Artstetten-Pöbring is a small town in the Melk district most known for Artstetten Castle, which is noted for its many onion-shaped domes. The castle has been refurbished many times over the past 700 years. It is famous for the fact that the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the former owner of the castle. A museum in the castle has pictures of the life history of "the one and only Duke" and his wife during their stay in the castle. The duke and his wife were assassinated during their visit to Sarajevo, which triggered World War I. The castle also houses their tomb.

德意志瓦格拉姆  Deutsch-Wagram (literally "German-Wagram") is a town in Austria, in the Gänserndorf District of the federal state of Lower Austria. It is situated in the Marchfeld basin close to the Vienna city limits, northeast of the city centre.The settlement was probably established in the Bavarian March of Austria by colonists in the course of the Ostsiedlung. Wagram was first mentioned in a 1258 tithe register, drawn up when King Ottokar II of Bohemia ruled over the Austrian duchy. It was named after a now silted up meander of the Danube river, where the waves (German: Wogen) crushed against the shore (Rain). In 1560 it received the prefix Deutsch- to differ it from Kroatisch-Wagram (today part of Eckartsau), a village founded by Croat settlers in the course of the 1529 Ottoman Siege of Vienna.[citation needed]In 1580 the population turned Protestant but was forcefully converted in the Counter-Reformation under the Habsburg emperor Ferdinand II shortly afterwards.[citation needed]Deutsch-Wagram was the location of the 1809 Battle of Wagram fought between invading French troops under Napoleon and an Austrian army led by Archduke Charles.The population rose after the area was connected with the Austrian capital by the opening of the Emperor Ferdinand Northern Railway (the present-day Austrian North Railway) in 1837. The former village was elevated to the status of a market town in 1929 and received town privileges in 1984. The firearm company Glock was founded here in 1963.

- Red Bull is an energy drink sold by Red Bull GmbH, an Austrian company created in 1987. Austrian entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitzwas inspired by an existing energy drink named Krating Daeng, which was first introduced and sold in Thailand by Chaleo Yoovidhya. He took this idea, modified the ingredients to suit the tastes of Westerners,[11] and, in partnership with Chaleo, founded Red Bull GmbH in 1987 in Chakkapong, Thailand. In Thai, daengmeans red, and a krating (known in English as a gaur or Indian bison) is a large species of wild bovine native to South Asia. Yoovidhya's heirs own majority stakes in both brands, and they both use the same red bull on yellow sun logo while continuing to market the separate drinks to the respective Thai and Western markets.
  • Charuchart Martthong was killed in a motorbike accident in the northern Thailand city of Chiang Mai. Earlier this week Charuchart was named as a key witness who told investigators that Red Bull heir Vorayuth “Boss” Yoovidhya was not speeding when his Ferrari struck and killed a policeman in Bangkok in 2012.His account, apparently delivered several years after the incident, led police and prosecutors to drop all charges against Vorayuth, sparking public outrage at the perceived culture of impunity enjoyed by Thailand’s rich and powerful. The outcry prodded embattled Premier Prayuth Chan-ocha to set up an investigation into 
    why the high-profile case was dropped years before the statute of limitations on several charges – including reckless driving – expired.It is also stoking anger at the military-backed government of Prayuth, which enjoys close alliances with Thailand’s billionaire clans.https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/3095397/thailands-red-bull-heir-key-defence-witness-hit-and-run

Thailand-based TC Pharmaceutical Industries Co Ltd was reacting to reports thathad suggested the distribution agreement would be ended when it expires soon. But instead TC Pharma CEO Saravoot Yoovidhya has insisted the two are nowdiscussing how they can continue working together to reinforce Red Bull's share ofthe booming Chinese energy drinks market. Created in 1965, TC Pharma invented and remains the sole owner of the Red Bulltrademark globally.

The following year, the group changed its name from "ÖMV" to "OMV" because the umlaut on the "Ö" is not commonly used in many languages. In the early 2000s, OMV expanded into Eastern Europe, by acquiring around 10% of Hungarian oil company, MOL and in 2003 it acquired the upstream division of Germany’s Preussag Energie, expanding its filling station networks. In 2004, OMV became the market leader in Central and Eastern Europe following the acquisition of 51% of Romanian oil and gas group Petrom which constitutes the largest acquisition in OMV’s history.

Austria’s attempts to draw a line under one of Europe’s most dramatic recent bank failures collapsed on Monday after bondholders rejected a deal which would have saved one of the country’s smallest provinces from possible bankruptcy. The failure to secure an agreement over the former Hypo Alpe Adria bank is a blow for the government in Vienna, which now faces years of arguments with investors. It also leaves the southern province of Carinthia, where Hypo was headquartered, facing liabilities running into billions of euros.

  • Christoph Carl Fernberger (* um 1596 auf Schloss Eggenberg; † 7. Dezember 1653 in Maria Enzersdorf)[1] war kaiserlicher Hauptmann, Weltreisender, Entdecker und gilt als erster österreichischer Weltumsegler, wobei er sich selbst in seinen darüber verfaßten "Reißbüchlein" stets als "Teutscher" bezeichnete. Nachdem die Habsburger Monarchie bis 1806 an der Spitze des Heiligen Römischen Reichs (Deutscher Nation) stand, und Österreich bis 1866 auch den Vorsitz im Deutschen Bund innehatte, war Christoph Carl Fernberger zudem nach Hans Barge auch der zweite Deutsche Weltumsegler und unter anderem — ein Vierteljahrhundert vor dem Franken Johann Jacob Mercklein — auch der erste Deutsche, der nachweislich nach Ayutthaya gereist ist. Fernberger war ein Vetter zweiten Grades des Vorchdorfer Adeligen Georg Christoph Fernberger. Dieser hat sich ebenfalls mit Entdeckungen auf Weltreisen einen Namen gemacht, er kam auf seiner Orientreise 1588/93 bis an den Ganges und nach Birma. Fernberger zählte zu den Mitreisenden, die sich als Gegenleistung zum Dienst in der V.O.C verpflichten mussten. Die Fahrt führte ihn über den Atlantik nach Südamerika, weiter durch die Magellanstraße die Pazifikküste Amerikas nach Norden entlang bis zur Baja California. Vor der Südspitze der Baja California Kaperte die Goeden Fortuin das letzte verbliebene Schiff der Flotte, ein spanisches Handelsschiff. Im Zuge der Plünderung des spanischen Schiffes kam Fernberger in den Besitz wertvoller Diamanten. Die Reise ging weiter über den Pazifik vorbei an den Diebsinseln, wie die Marianen bis 1667 von den Spaniern genannt wurden, und den Philippinen bis zur holländischen Kolonie Jakarta in Indonesien. Nachdem er sich 1623 in Jakarta/Batavia mithilfe der in seinem Besitz befindlichen Diamanten vom Dienst in der V.O.C freigekauft hatte, machte er als freier Kaufmann und Freibürger (vrijburger) von Batavia 1623–1627 Handelsreisen durch Ostasien. Auf diesen Reisen kam Fernberger, mittlerweile mit Hausstand in Jakarta, nach Sumatra, mehrmals auf die Molukken, nach Siam und China. 1624 kam Fernberger auf den Pescadoren-Inseln an, welche einen Stützpunkt der V.O.C beherbergten, und beteiligte sich an der Verlegung des Stützpunktes nach Formosa. In den folgenden Jahren führten Fernberger weitere Unternehmungen nach China (Macau, Kanton), auf die Japanische Insel Hirado, wo sich von 1609 bis 1639 ein Handelsposten der V.O.C befand, nach Goa in Indien und über Hormuz bis nach Persien. In Persien kam ihm 1627 das Gerücht zu Ohren, dass die Türken Wien erobert und Österreich besetzt hätten. Diese Nachricht löste bei Fernberger Heimweh und Sorge um seine Angehörigen aus und er beschloss so schnell wie möglich in die Heimat zurückzukehren. Zwar stellte sich im Nachhinein heraus, dass die Information falsch war, dennoch bemühte er sich, zurück in Jakarta, um eine Passage nach Europa.

history
- etymology
  • Austria was created in the 10th century as a part of the Duchy of Bavaria, long after Christianity had taken over Europe. In German, Austria is known as Österreich, or East Realm(land, country,etc..). It is also thought to be Germanicized from the Latin “Marchia austriaca” or “Marchia Orientalis”. My Latin isn’t that good but the later means the same “march(vassal, lands, realm) in the east” and the former means the same but the Latin root “aus” means south, as in AUStralia. As Latin was used by the Germans in the middle ages, they are likely the ones who used the term “Marchia Austriaca” as it is to the south and east of Bavaria, thus leading to the later Germanized from of Austria.https://www.quora.com/Is-Austria-named-after-the-Germanic-goddess-Eostre-Ostara

  • Klemens Wenzel Nepomuk Lothar, Prince von Metternich-Winneburg zu Beilstein, KOGF (German: [ˈmɛtɐnɪç]; 15 May 1773 – 11 June 1859)[1] was an Austrian diplomat who was at the center of European affairs for four decades as the Austrian Empire's foreign minister from 1809 and Chancellor from 1821 until the liberal Revolutions of 1848 forced his resignation. Born into the House of Metternich in 1773 as the son of a diplomat, Metternich received a good education at the universities of Strasbourg and Mainz. Metternich rose through key diplomatic posts, including ambassadorial roles in the Kingdom of Saxony, the Kingdom of Prussia, and especially Napoleonic France. One of his first assignments as Foreign Minister was to engineer a détente with France that included the marriage of Napoleon to the Austrian archduchess Marie Louise. Soon after, he engineered Austria's entry into the War of the Sixth Coalitionon the Allied side, signed the Treaty of Fontainebleau that sent Napoleon into exile and led the Austrian delegation at the Congress of Viennathat divided post-Napoleonic Europe amongst the major powers. For his service to the Austrian Empire, he was given the title of Prince in October 1813. Under his guidance, the "Metternich system" of international congresses continued for another decade as Austria aligned itself with Russia and to a lesser extent Prussia. This marked the high point of Austria's diplomatic importance and thereafter Metternich slowly slipped into the periphery of international diplomacy. At home, Metternich held the post of Chancellor of State from 1821 until 1848 under both Francis I and his son Ferdinand I. After a brief exile in London, Brighton, and Brussels that lasted until 1851, he returned to the Viennese court, this time to offer only advice to Ferdinand's successor, Franz Josef. Having outlived his generation of politicians, Metternich died at the age of 86 in 1859. A traditional conservative, Metternich was keen to maintain the balance of power, in particular by resisting Russian territorial ambitions in Central Europe and lands belonging to the Ottoman Empire. He disliked liberalism and strove to prevent the breakup of the Austrian Empire, for example, by crushing nationalist revolts in Austrian north Italy. At home, he pursued a similar policy, using censorship and a wide-ranging spy network to suppress unrest. Metternich has been both praised and heavily criticized for the policies he pursued. His supporters pointed out that he presided over the "Age of Metternich", when international diplomacy helped prevent major wars in Europe. His qualities as a diplomat were commended, some noting that his achievements were considerable in light of the weakness of his negotiating position. Meanwhile, his detractors argued that he could have done much to secure Austria's future, and he was deemed as a stumbling block to reforms in Austria.


  • SMS Novara was a sail frigate of the Austro-Hungarian Navy most noted for sailing the globe for the Novara Expedition of 1857–1859 and, later for carrying Archduke Maximilian and wife Carlota to Veracruz in May 1864 to become Emperor and Empress of Mexico. SMS Novara[1] was a frigate that circumnavigated the earth in the course of the Austrian Imperial expedition of 1857–1859, during the reign of (Kaiser) EmperorFranz Joseph I of Austria. It was a sailing ship with three masts of sails and six decks, outfitted with 42 cannons, and had a water displacement of nearly 2,107 tons. Between 1843 and 1899 SMS Novara had several different names and configurations:[4] originally named Minervawhen the lengthy construction started in Venice during 1843, the partially completed frigate was renamed Italia by Venetian revolutionaries in 1848, finally launched with the name Novara in 1850, and converted to a steam cruiser during 1861–1865. The name Novara originated with the Battle of Novara in March 1849: following the Austrians' retaking of Venice in August 1849, Field Marshal Radetzky visited the shipyard there, and the officers petitioned him to have the nearly-completed Italiarenamed in honour of his victory over King Charles Albert at the Italian town of Novara. The circumnavigation of the earth from April 1857 through August 1859[4] by Novara was one of the most important journeys for what became the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna. A number of eminent natural scientistsjoined the voyage, including Georg Ritter von Frauenfeld, curator in the invertebrate department of the Imperial museums.

  • Stefan Zweig (/zwaɪɡ, swaɪɡ/; German: [tsvaɪk]; November 28, 1881 in Vienna – February 22, 1942 in Petrópolis) was an Austrian novelist, playwright, journalist and biographer.Zweig was born in Vienna, the son of Moritz Zweig (1845–1926), a wealthy Jewish textile manufacturer, and Ida Brettauer (1854–1938), a daughter of a Jewish banking family. The World of Yesterday: Memories of a European (German title Die Welt von Gestern: Erinnerungen eines Europäers) is the memoir of Austrian writer Stefan Zweig. It is considered the most famous book on the Habsburg Empire. He started writing it in 1934 when, anticipating Anschluss and Nazi persecution, he uprooted himself from Austria to England and later to Brazil. He posted the manuscript, typed by his second wife Lotte Altmann, to the publisher the day before they both committed suicide in February 1942. The book was first published in Stockholm (1942), as Die Welt von Gestern. It was first published in English in April 1943 by Viking Press. The book describes life in Vienna at the start of the 20th century with detailed anecdotes.  It depicts the dying days of Austria-Hungary under Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, including the system of education and the sexual ethics prevalent at the time, the same that provided the backdrop to the emergence of psychoanalysis.

In April images emerged showing children in Turkish army uniforms re-enacting the World War One Battle of Gallipoli. The Turkish president's office called Austria's move "Islamophobic, racist and discriminatory".
