Cafe Frauenhuber Chronik

Most of the information was supplied by the author Paul Harrer-Lurienfeld, who patronized the cafe some 30years ago, in his book „Wien, seine Häuser und Kultur“ (“Vienna – Its Buildings and Culture”). The book can be found at the Municipal Library at the Town Hall. The Office for Historical Monuments at the Hofburg also gave us some interesting information. The café was last renovated in 2000. We Hope we have been able to thus preserve a typical old Viennese Kaffeehaus and its atmosphere.
