Experience historical milestones up close and win exclusive guided tours through the heart of Austrian democracy with Super Head of Department Rainer Nowak and Ida Metzger, Head of Domestic Policy at the "Krone".
The newly renovated parliament building on the Ring, the heart of Austrian democracy, has been open to the public again for a year now. The historic halls shine in new splendor and invite visitors to take a look behind the scenes of Austria's political past and present.
The heart of Austrian democracy
The Austrian Parliament has a rich history marked by numerous significant events. One milestone was the first session of parliament in 1883, when the building on the Ring was officially opened. This first assembly marked the beginning of a new era of political co-determination and democratic development in Austria.
The introduction of women's suffrage in 1918 was also a significant moment in the history of the Austrian parliament. After the collapse of the monarchy and the founding of the First Republic, women were given the right to vote and stand for election, which was an important step towards equality.
More recently, the ratification of accession to the European Union in 1995 was another key event. This step enabled Austria to become part of the European single market and play an active role in European integration.
Since last year, after a long period of renovation work, the center of democracy in Austria can once again be visited by the public. The historic parliament building on the Ring shines in new splendor and symbolizes the stability and durability of Austrian democracy.
