History and equipment

The Café Goldegg was founded in 1910 by the Viennese coffee house family Dobner. The former Café Dobner was a regular hangout for railway workers. During the Nazi era it served as a meeting place for persecuted trade unionists and revolutionary socialists , especially railway workers, until May 1941 . Richard Freund , Andreas Thaler and Karl Dlouhy were among the organizers of these meetings .

In 1988/89 a restoration true to the original was carried out, supported by the Vienna Old Town Conservation Fund, and it was placed under monument protection .

Otherwise, the rooms are equipped with light parquet floors, black marble tables with white veins, dark green plush covers in the seating niches and brass chandeliers . Because of all these classic elements of an Art Nouveau coffee house , the Goldegg is regularly used as a backdrop for filming.
