To appreciate how "leiwand" (great) Vienna really is and always has been, one has to indulge in the irrelevant facts, the useless information. All those seemingly marginal notes, those amusing anecdotes, bizarre characters, traditional customs and oddities, which are nowhere to be found in today´s history books and travels guides.
And since stadtbekannt holds the opinion that there is never enough to know about Vienna, even though there is a lot you don´t even need to know, something very useful was created: the stadtbekannt collection of all the Useless Facts about Vienna - manifested in a book.

"Wien, Wien, nur du allein." (Only You, Vienna), goes a popular Viennese song about this charming city by the Danube River. Its moving history, its vibrant culture, the legendary Viennese snide humor - Vienna is more than a city, Vienna is a way of life.
STADTBEKANNT has become completely immersed in this way of life and Vienna´s unique atmosphere, and we wanted to share our joy with others. When coming up with ideas on how to present this beautiful city, how to capture its genuine spirit to give you a sense of what Vienna is about, we had a revelation.
To appreciate how "leiwand" (great) Vienna really is and always has been, one has to indulge in the irrelevant facts, the useless information. The soul of Vienna consists of those seemingly marginal notes, those amusing anecdotes, bizarre characters, traditional customs and oddities, which are nowhere to be found in today´s history books and travels guides.
This book is a collection of all the useless facts, all those Vienna-curious, Vienna-connoisseurs, and Vienna-philes don´t necessarily need to know, but probably want to know.
We hope you enjoy this declaration of love to this wonderful city.
