4 December: “Schwenders Neue Welt”, Imposing amusement park with music and dance

With his dance halls and coffee houses, Carl Schwender was one of the most successful developers
during the Biedermeier era. His most spectacular enterprise was undoubtedly the “New World” (Neue
Welt) amusement park. Thousands of Viennese flocked to Vienna’s thirteenth district of Hietzing to
listen to the lively waltzes of the Strauss brothers, for example. Sometimes these two even come in a
pair to the New World.
