- Fifty-two hectares of park at the end of the street
Emperor Joseph II opened the Augarten to the public in 1775, with the inscription over the gate: a place of recreation for all people, from one who esteems them.
Today it is fifty-two hectares of avenues, lawns and playing fields, and the two concrete flak towers from the war standing over the trees. Our building is named after its chestnuts.
