Cellars and Heurigen-areas in Vienna

In Vienna 1300 inns, wine- and beerrestaurants existed in the 19th century. The consumption of wine decreased by virtue of the competition of beer down to 57 liters per man and year, however this quantity still is remarkable. Many taverns and winecellars had a bad reputation, the wine-cellars of the convents had a good reputation, who had a good quality of wine. The Heurigen and wine-cellars were under strong regulation by the administration (Magistrat). Selling wine was allowed from 9am to 9pm. (in summer to 10pm) only white wine or claret, the only food sold was bread, cheeses and radish; Separees, games and accommodation were forbidden. Besides a maximum price was determined for wine. In 1808 the regulation (Kellerschankordnung) was loosened.

Worth mentioning is the Tirolerkeller at the square Bürgerspitalplatz, where in 1809 the Tyrolean freedomfighter Andreas Hofer was sitting. A further Tirolerkeller was at the square Fleischmarkt and well known for their ladies. More famous cellars were (and some still are)

  • the Augustinerkeller in Augustinerstrasse, opened in 1922
  • the Dachlkeller at Mehlmarkt, a meeting point for fiacres
  • the Deutscher Keller or Fiakerkeller inside the house called Ordenshaus in Singerstrasse, named after the fiacres
