Введение Morbid Vienna Guide

You want to experience a special side of Vienna? Then the Morbid Vienna Guide is just the right thing for you. With this city guide you can discover that Vienna has, after all, had a very open relationship with human mortality for the past several hundred years. Where does this come from? From an age when death was omnipresent owing to diseases such as the plague: when facing mortality became a reminder to enjoy life all the more intensely. Places like the the Church of the Augustinian Friars, where the hearts of the Habsburgs were buried, but also the fulminant Vienna Central Cemetery and the Funeral Museum are part of the Morbid Vienna Guide. You will also experience the Capuchin Crypt and famous works of art such as "Death and Life" by Gustav Klimt. The Morbid Vienna Guide shows that death in Vienna has artistic, bizarre and sometimes very beautiful sides.
