Dehio Vienna Inner City 2003

The Dehio-Handbuch - Die Kunstdenkmäler Österreichs - Wien - Innere Stadt was published in 2003 on the Inner City of Vienna in the new Austrian Dehio series started by the Federal Monuments Office . In 1993 the band went to the suburbs as it did in 1996 to the suburbs .

General

The manual lists monuments within the meaning of Section 1 of the Monument Protection Act, i.e. immovable and movable objects of historical, artistic and other cultural significance regardless of whether there is a public interest in their preservation. On the one hand, the Dehio is an aid to monuments research, on the other hand, an art guide, as it should also spread the appreciation for art and cultural monuments.

When work began in 1993, it was clear that a brief inventory of a millennia-old settlement area and the centuries-old political and cultural center of the Habsburg Empire in Central Europe and the extraordinary quality of the building and art fabric would not suffice, and that more in-depth and new research would be necessary. The inventory with new discoveries and in many cases with a revision of the findings led to a university project group under the direction of Mario Schwarz , who was able to fix the building fabric of the secular architecture from the foundation to the rising masonry for the period from 1200.

The editors were supported by Gertrud Mras, Renate Kohn and Richard Perger on the inscriptions of the Middle Ages and the early modern period. Hans Böker contributed research results to the building history of St. Stephan . Annemarie Fenzl , Johann Weißensteiner, Hiltig and Schreiber gave help from the Archdiocese of Vienna . Further information was provided by Karl Schütz on the organ texts, from Doris Schön and Paul Mitchell on the dating of medieval masonry, from Christoph Serentschy on ongoing restorations, from Ludwig Varga and Gernot Wisser .

Georg Rizzi gave tips on baroque architecture from the Federal Monuments Office, Eva-Maria Höhle and Barbara Neubauer from the State Conservate for Vienna , as well as Friedrich Dahm. Furthermore, Christa Farka gave information on soil monuments, Johann Offenberger on excavation results in St. Stephan, Manfred Koller , Norbert Gauss, Johann Scheifele, Géza Hajós , Andreas Lehne .
