From top politics to sport and the media: there is hardly a genre in which the Austrian media manager Hans Mahr has not been successful. Now he has invited guests to his birthday party. The party was held under the motto "Vienna Calling". And everyone responded to his call to Vienna.

How old has he become? "Please, everyone can find out for themselves, I'm not going to make it public," laughed Austro-Top media manager Hans Mahr, who hosted the party (motto: "Vienna Calling") at Do & Co in the Albertina. And friends and companions came in droves to the capital to congratulate the man whose CV spans a good three to four professional lives.

Love premieres and pure wine
"There's nothing Hans can't do!" said top restaurateur Mario Plachutta. A premiere for him: he appeared for the first time with his new partner Katrin. Top! Oliver Pocher, an opera ball joker, even got down on his knees in front of Mahr and his wife, RTL star Katja Burkard, while Johanna Mikl-Leitner from Lower Austria greeted the jubilarian (a real gourmet and connoisseur) with a good bottle of wine.
