Last winter there was absolutely no snow in Vienna. Frau Holle (Mother Holle) was only working one single day in November and seemed to gone on holiday afterwards. Unfortunately it remained the only time – I´m hoping for lots of snowflakes this year! But at least I have some pictures from last years day of snow:
Last week I had the opportunity to visit the former “Filmstadt Wien” at the Rosenhügel Studios. Built from 1919 to 1923 by Vita-Film it was one of the most modern and innovative studio-complexes of that time. Over the course of years many well known movies were produced there until the majority of the site has been sold recently. Only two of the big (studio) halls were named listed buildings and are already on their way to new destinations.
Here are some first impressions of the former studio-complex, it´s mainly the entrance area and barracks I saw on the way to the first hall. Demolition work of the complex has already begun.
…to be continued
After a quite busy week behind (and in front) of me today is the day to watch the new Hunger Game movie at the cinema and have some hot punch or mulled wine afterwards on one of the many Christkindlmärkte. This picture is from last year at Karlsplatz, there will definitely be some new ones soon!
Have a great Sunday!
