The Vienna Derby is a term that was created in the 1950s for the clash between the two football clubs SK Rapid Wien and FK Austria Wien . So far there have been 322 competitive games between the two teams, including 290 championship games (as of August 2017). This makes the Wiener Derby the second most popular football derby in Europe after the Old Firm between Celtic Glasgow and the Glasgow Rangers . It is the most common football derby in Europe that is played continuously (without interruption due to the relegation of a club).
Historical and background
The rivalry between Rapid and Austria is based on the struggle for local supremacy as well as the clash of two classes. Rapid was founded in 1897 as the first workers' football club in Austria, while Austria was a "bourgeois" club that even had an intelligence paragraph when it was founded. Furthermore, both clubs came from Hietzing - Rapid plays (e) in Hütteldorf (since 1938 in Penzing ), Austria in Ober St. Veit - and each had their roots in Rudolfsheim . This duel between the two clubs, which was sometimes very heated, was of great local importance, but usually had little influence on the championship. This decided more in the duels Rapid against Admira , which at that time also had the highest attendance figures.
During this time, the 1920s and 1930s, however, the cliché of fighting power (in the person of Franz Binder ) versus technology (in the person of Matthias Sindelar ) arose when speaking of the meeting of Rapid and Austria. Another contrast between the two associations became clear when Austria joined the German Reich in 1938. While Rapid survived the political upheaval relatively unscathed, much of the Management Board and a number of players of Austria for racist reasons were Austria sold . While Austria, which was even renamed SC Ostmark for a short time, was forced into insignificance during the Nazi era, Rapid was able to celebrate great successes at the same time in the "Greater German Championship".
After the Second World War , the two clubs, which had long since ceased to play in the same district, were increasingly able to establish themselves as leading clubs in the top Austrian league . Between 1946 and 1964 only four Austrian championship titles did not go to Rapid or Austria. The eleven championship seasons from 1977/78 to 1987/88 also made up the two rivals. As a result, the Austrian championship was often decided in the Vienna Derby. In the past few decades, the previous ideational differences between the two clubs blurred. For a long time now there has been no question of a “class difference” between the groups of supporters, as it was conjured up in the 1930s. However, the tradition has been preserved that Rapid can tend to mobilize more spectators than Austria, whose supporters are considered "overly critical" of their own club.
Audience interest

The audience interest in the Vienna Derby has far exceeded other pairings in the Austrian Bundesliga since the 1950s. This was shown impressively in the 1953/54 season, when 60,000 and 50,000 respectively watched the Vienna Derby, while Rapid recorded "only" 22,000 visitors in its third most-attended game against Vienna . In the 80s and 90s, the two Viennese rivals with FC Tirol , Austria Salzburg and finally SK Sturm Graz grew up three new rivals, which one after the other dominated the league and in some cases also shone internationally. This meant that interest in the Viennese derbies subsided somewhat. After major investor Frank Stronach joined Wiener Austria in 1999 (championship title 2002/03) and Rapid’s surprising championship title 2004/05, sold-out stadiums at the Vienna Derbies became normal again in the 2000s. With audience limits of 17,500 ( Hanappi Stadium ) and 13,500 ( Horr Stadium , renamed Generali Arena in 2011 ), the number of spectators can no longer be compared with the 1950s. Under special conditions, the clubs like to move to the larger Ernst-Happel-Stadion , where sometimes impressive backdrops follow the games. At the end of the 2004/05 season, the Happel Stadium even experienced two derbies within a short period of time - first the league derby on May 26 (1-0 for Austria) in front of 46,000 spectators (sold out), when Rapid was already the new champions, and a week later the final of the Austrian Cup (3: 1 for Austria) in front of 28,000 spectators.
The new construction of the Allianz Stadium (completion in 2016) as the new Rapids home (planned audience capacity 28,000) is therefore certainly due to the increased public interest in the Vienna Derby since the 2000s. The first derby at the Allianz Stadium took place on October 23, 2016 and was sold out. Austria won 2-0.
At the same time as the increased public interest in recent years, the aggressiveness in the arguments between the two fan groups has also increased. In the vicinity of the respective stadiums there are often violent clashes between hooligans from the two clubs before and after derbies. Measured against the hooligan riots in other European countries, one can classify these clashes as relatively manageable.
Famous games
Premieres
The first game between Rapid and Austria, at that time still amateurs, took place on September 8, 1911 on the WAC-Platz and ended with 4: 1 in favor of Rapids. It was only the Violets' second championship game. Thanks to their connections, they were accepted directly into the first class of the time as a newly founded club . For Rapid, this duel is also the first first division game, because since their promotion in 1903, both Austrian championships of 1904 and 1907 were either discontinued or declared unofficial. The first Austrian victory in the championship came six years after the first meeting, on November 11, 1917 with 1-0. You had to wait ten years for a first draw and 33 years for a 0-0 draw.
Peat festivals
Rapid succeeded twice in its history to defeat Austria with nine goals difference. On July 2, 1916 they won 9-0, on August 23, 1942 10-1. The highest Austria victory fell on October 11, 1969 6-0 to the violets. The most goal-winning games, however, are the 8: 4 in favor of Austria in the 1929/30 season and the 7: 5 in favor of Rapids on September 17, 1950, which is often referred to as the "derby of the century" due to its exciting course of play. Austria achieved the highest victory in the Bundesliga on December 16, 2018, 6-1.
Exclusions
The heated duels between the two teams resulted in numerous exclusions. Austrian legend Matthias Sindelar , who was considered a particularly fair sportsman, was once excluded in the derby. It was the only expulsion in his career. The reason was a " Watschn " on Rapidler Johann Luef . But also rapid legend Franz "Bimbo" Binder received his only dismissal in a derby. This game even had to be stopped when the score was 5-0 for Austria, as Rapid only had five field players left.
cancellation
The 297th Vienna Derby on May 22, 2011 in the Hanappi Stadium was canceled (when the score was 2-0 for Austria) by referee Thomas Einwaller . Hundreds of angry Rapid supporters had previously stormed the field in the 26th minute of the game. According to the police, the safety of all those involved could no longer be guaranteed. Around 500 police officers are said to have been on the field.
30 years of Hanappi Stadium
On May 8, 2007, a derby took place in the Gerhard Hanappi Stadium . That was almost exactly thirty years after the first game in what was then the West Stadium (May 10, 1977, also a derby). It was also the 500th championship home game of SK Rapid Wien in the Hanappi Stadium. The game ended 3-0 for Rapid.
