Sightseeing tour through Vienna »Places of Political and cultural historical significance«, guided by Albert Müller (Department of Contemporary History, University of Vienna)

Exhibition »Looking backward to Marienthal«

The exhibition, organized by the Archives for the History of Sociology in Austria and the Gemeinde Gramatneusiedl, is curated by Reinhard Müller in co-operation with two residents of Marienthal: Walter Dienstl and Josef Malicek, who collected documents of Marienthal since more than two decades. The exhibition should give an impression of Marienthal, although it is concerned primarily with the years 1890 to 1939, in that the generations grew up which were important for the Marienthal study. More than 150 pictures and about 20 objects inform about the history of the Marienthal factory and workers settlement as well as about the Marienthal study, about the Marienthal workers and their social life, buildings and clubs mentioned in the Marienthal study.

With financial support by Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Culture, Vienna, Niederösterreich Kultur – Abteilung Kultur und Wissenschaft des Amtes der Niederösterreichisch Landesregierung, Österreichische Forschungsgemeinschaft (ÖFG) and Marktgemeinde Gramatneusiedl
