The TV series “Kaisermühlen Blues” made the neighborhood between the New and Old Danube famous far beyond Vienna’s borders. Following in the footsteps of Mr. Kudrnac and his “district council”, we will stroll through the former “colony”, where mills and factories once shaped life and today village idyll and Red Vienna meet international flair. Some of the traces of the past are a little buried, but if you look closely you can still see and feel a lot.
And this little spot, once on the right bank of the Danube and now on the left, has always produced exciting stories. If you want to know how a pipe club helped the truth to break through, why “smear vases” ended up in the Kaiserwasser, how Montessori found its way into Vienna and why the Queen once triggered a run on the hairdressing salons between Schüttaustraße and Kaisermühlendamm, then the Grätzel tour through Kaisermühlen is the right place for you.
