Trude Marzik

Esterházypark. Much concrete, not much park. No Esterházy left.

This is how Trude Marzik describes her Vienna – laconic and to the point, affectionate but with a critical eye, humorous but with a pinch of irony. The beautiful and the less beautiful sights, the specialities and individuality of Vienna are always at the centre: the flair of the different districts, the scurrilous monuments, the cemeteries and crypts with a lively role to play, the famous Vorstadt and, of course, the taverns and wine gardens.
