Austria, I call you home! Then, now, forever. ❤🇦🇹❤ Amazing work Rick, especially those footages from the early 1900s bring me to tears because it's almost awe-inspiring that someone from the distant future, we, watch those people just live their daily lifes.
Thanks for showing this. One remark, although I understand the colorisation is done automaticaly I'd like to say that the trams were (and still are) bright red in Vienna
@heinzer69 You seem to forget that there are 6 times more viewers who use "colorization" compared to you Brits! Why do you believe you should dominate your way of spelling? This film was made for the entire world, so the majority counts
@@marthae9338 the colour in this film is computer generated, the film was black and white. The program has no knowledge whatsoever of the original colour and is making an interpretation based on the gray tones and what the programmers once told the program to do
It is a tragedy that the Vienna State Opera House was 80% destroyed in the bombing - the 80% included the whole of the interior of the auditorium - On the rebuild the auditorium was re-created in a sort of post war austerity design - one can only imagine how sumptuous the Original must have been - the 20% that was not destroyed consists of the foyer, marble staicases, the emperorers relaxation room and at least one of the refreshment rooms - the contrast between the beauty of the 1860's magnificent foyer and the rebuilt auditorium is quite startling
Looks like this was filmed in the British zone judging by the uniforms of the soldiers guarding the entrance to the building. This is The Third Man era. Wonderful movie. I expected to see Harry Lime dash across a street.
@@kayvan671 Ich denke nicht, dass Austrian Truther gemeint hat, dass es Wien am schlimmsten erwischt hat und es nirgendwo in der Welt schlimmer war/ist/jemals sein wird. 🙄 Kann man nicht einfach traurig sein, dass es überhaupt so weit gekommen ist? Ich persönlich finde gar nicht so sehr die Trümmer traurig. Vielmehr macht es mich traurig und sentimental, wenn ich mir denke, dass der Mann, der so lässig aus der Straßenbahn hüpft jetzt wahrscheinlich schon tot ist. Ich denke darüber nach, für wen die Frau, die in die Kirche geht, vielleicht beten wollte. Das könnte durchaus meine Urgroßmutter gewesen sein, die in einem Schutzbunker während Bomben fielen ein Kind verloren hat und ganz in der Nähe dieser Kirche gewohnt hat. Stehen mir diese Gefühle zu? Oder hast du dafür auch einen whataboutism auf Lager? Ich verabscheue "unseren Adolf" und alles was passiert ist zutiefst. Und es liegt mir fern den Alliierten etwas vorzuwerfen, grundsätzlich bin ich für den Einsatz auch dankbar. Traurig stimmt es mich trotzdem.
Third Man is a great film! But unfortunately in reality there was much more destruction in Vienna and also many people, above all older women, dying of hunger...my mother lived as a young girl that time in Vienna and she had to tell very bad stories.
Now that is some rare stuff. Not too many different scence but pretty long shots too. Impressive, even if not every single scene might really be from Vienna.
The first scene shows a tram I would recognise. Going to the Schwarzenbergstraße. The third and last sequence shows the stairs leading up to the church Maria am Gestade in the first District of Vienna.
0:54 "Haus der Industrie" Schwarzenbergplatz 4. 3:28 "Staatsoper". East side of the opera, filmed from Kärtner Straße. Approximately 500 meters away from the first location 4:10 "Maria am Gestade" church 5:07 same church, different angle. address: Am Gestade 7
For those doubting the video: MOST of it shows Vienna! The first section is on and around Schwarzenbergplatz. The proof are the buildings and the trams, who are clearly of "Wiener Verkahsbetriebe" - origin. The line No. 71 has a sign "Schwarzenbergplatz" on it, which tells the tram is very short of it's turning point at the corner of "Ring" and "Schwarzenbergplatz" indicating it comes from the "Zentralfriedhof", the other turning point, far out from the city center. The trams here also show advertisments from austrian products. Then there is one tram line No.71 going to "Zentralfriedhof" and one tram line "D" in (at that point) the (roughly) same direction (left to right), but one can see they go at a different angle, as their tracks split a few meters to the left. Line "D" turning to the right towards the camera, going up "Prinz Eugen Straße", to it's turning point at the "Südbahnhof"/"Schweizergarten". Li e "71" turning away from the camera to go up "Rennweg" and futher on "Simmeringer Hauptstraße" to "Zentralfriedhof" - the largest cemetary in Europe. Then there is a section which shows a tram line "5" in front of the entrance of the AKH" - General Hospital, 2nd Clinic. You can compare it with the Adress "Spitalgasse 23" on google maps, you only have to move the point of few to the right, where the fassade and the wall on the right match. Then there is a section which shows trams that never ever rode in vienna at all. After that the video shows sections which seem from Hungary, maybe Budapest and when it says "Staatsoper" it is NOT. This can be compared to the actual building, which is much higher, has no such low wings. These sequences seem to be from around 1900, as to the tramcars... Then there are barges at the Danube, seemingly in Linz to be seen. The Bridge appears to be the Nibelungen bridge, one of the few major bridges not blown up (or down) by the retreating Wehrmacht, or Waffen SS. The last sequence shows the church "Maria am Gestade", Viennas second oldest church and "Passauer Platz", seen from the top of the stairway leading up from "Tiefer Graben". In the latter part the same ensemble is shown from the corner of "Tiefer Graben"/"Concordiaplatz"... - The area left of the stairway had been already cleared of rubble and debries, as nearly the whole building there had collapsed after the march 12th bombing raid by 15th AF USAAF bombers, which brought the heavy destruction of the vienese city center. (Staatsoper, Philipp-Hof, Kärntner Straße, Burgtheater, the Building at the Concordiaplatz, Hoher Markt, just to mention a few...) Some of the trams seem colourised. Originally the vienese trams are bright red with white from the windows upward. But during the war there were trams in kind of a sand, or beige colour, due to shortages and camouflage reason. This could have been continued for a while after wars end due to prolonged shortage as well. Due to reconsruction, changed needs and developement the sites have changed over the roughly 70 years, so it isn't always easy to recognise the right spot on google...
@@peterstadlmaier3107 I looked at it on a larger screen and you might be right. But it makes no difference, as the turning loop has been there, at Schubertring - Pastalozzigasse - Kantgasse - Cristinengasse and Schubertring again, on the corner of the "Ring" and Schwarzenbergplatz and still is. Only in recent years line 71 has been extended to the turning loop at "Börse". The Schwarzenbergstraße is the continuation of the Schwarzenbergplatz, right of and straight on, to "Seilerstätte". - So the name could have been Schwarzenbergstraße, as some tram stations used to and still do wear names of streets, places and locations close nearby the actual location of the stop...
Keep expecting to see Harry Lime appear in a doorway! In fact there are a number of shots of the staircase where Joseph Cotton is pursued and accused by little "Oskar" of being the murderer of Harry's concierge. Little "Oskar" is the only member of the cast still living by the way. I can highly recommend the Third Man Museum to anyone visiting Vienna, not just for memorabilia relating to the film but also to learn more about the city in the immediate post-war period. Excellent museum and a very warm welcome guaranteed!
Fun fact: The trams were painted light brown using surplus camouflage paint from the Afrikakorps. Only later did they repaint them in the typical red-white color scheme.
@@tarotarani3709 Well, at the time Austria was a part of Germany, so Austrian men served in all theaters where the Wehrmacht fought. A large number of Austrians served on the Eastern Front, which is why Austria was hit particularly hard by the defeat at Stalingrad. From 39 to 45, roughly 250.000 Austrians were killed as Wehrmacht soldiers.
@@helmstan6538 I've done some research on the 9th Panzer Division and the 44th and 45th Infantry Divisions and they were only engaged in the European Frontlines.
@@tarotarani3709 The 44th was probably the "most Austrian" division in the Wehrmacht, that´s true. However, many Austrians were also serving in other formations as well as in the Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine (which is kind of weird, actually). But the majority of Austrians served on the Eastern Front, that´s absolutely correct!
At 4:15 there is a very brave woman cleaning a window standing on the outside ledge of the building off to the right, i bet she didn't take any shit from the Nazi's.
@@semsemeini7905 Yes Vienna seen a devastating pogrom against the Jews on Kristallnacht, and hundreds of thousands of Austrian men joined the Nazi's and fought with the Wehrmacht and joined the murderous SS, but there was also a resistance it was small, but many fought on the Allied side, tens of thousands of Austrians also were arrested for political reasons and died in concentration camps, 2700 were executed without trial. Although i was making a bad joke about the woman not taking any shit from the Nazi's. The women cleaning the window may well have had relatives arrested by the Nazi's, or she may have supported the Nazi's, it's impossible to know.
The sequence from 3:15 to 4:02 is definitely not Vienna. (Vienna in Austria - Europe) Also the Tramway on the bridge in the scene before cannot be Vienna (there were only two bridges with tramtracks: the Floridsdorfer Bridge, which had four arches and was partially blown up, and the Reichsbrücke, which was a suspension bridge), therefore also the ships are presumably not in Vienna, maybe on the Danube, maybe in Hungary...
Nicely done. Only the scenes with the ships that come after the scenes in front of the main entrance to the "Neue Kliniken" of the Allgemeines Krankenhaus, as well as the following scenes (supposedly in front of the State Opera, up to the scenes in front of the Maria am Gestade church) were not recorded in Vienna. Vienna had no bridge like the one in the background of the ships. All bridges were destroyed, with the exception of the Reichsbrücke, which was a suspension bridge with distinctive chains. The alleged scenes at the State Opera clearly show on the tram cars that it is not Vienna. And the color of the trams in Vienna has always been red and never such a yellow / orange. But maybe that's just not feasible when coloring?
3:05 IMHO is Linz, not Vienna. Bridge is called "Nibelungenbrücke", until 1955 the border between US-Sector (right side= South) and Soviet Sector (left side= North)
4:11 Argrhhh, person standing on the window sill on the outside and cleaning the window. My dad and I were always so angry with my mother when she did this, I once threatened here to make the window dirty again if I should ever see her doing that again. Thank god from around 16 on I was tall enough to do that without needing to climb somewhere 🙂
I was about to say... I have no idea where any of these buildings are, and Vienna today very much looks like Vienna 100 years ago. So as many of the comments have already stated. This is NOT Vienna. At least much of it anyways.
The A.I. has no idea which country is involved. Maybe in the future it will learn to automatically recognize specific country features. It's impossible to manually change the colors of the trams (although I am attempting to make some software for this purpose).
@@Rick88888888 thanks ... that's what I thought as well. I guess it would have to "learn" from photos/films of museum trams and color them right as it recognizes them?
The only older buildings that were demolished were due to bomb damage. Nowadays, if they want to convert an old building, they just renovate the funky inside and leave the beautiful, original facade.
My great grandfather a russian living in moscow was 16 in 1941 and had committed a crime (I believe it was theft or petty fraud something along those lines) and was given a choice of being sent to a work camp or to the war. He chose the war and after brief training was tasked to parachute down into german territory with a team of paratroopers and free captured russian soldiers . Having completed the task he was awarded the Soviet Medal for Bravery and was exempt of his sentence and criminal record. He chose to stay in the war whether it was from peer pressure or honour it is unclear but he chose to stay and became an anti aircraft marksman, he almost died multiple times with one of the times being when his anti aircraft firing location was bombarded and bomb that landed near to him killed some of his team, knocked him unconscious and covered him in rubble, he was later miraculously found by dogs sniffing around the rubble assumingly after the bombs stopped coming in. He finished the war in Vienna at 20 years of age with a dozen medals and awards and along with the other soviet victors enjoyed looting Vienna and took a lot of jewlery, watches and fur goods. On the train back from vienna he contracted malaria and passed out, waking up to all of his loot and possessions being stolen down to his passport. But most importantly he got back to russia alive and went on to live till the late 90s. I am sixteen now at the time of writing this and am taken away by the man he was, moral or immoral I struggle to imagine a 16 year old petty criminal or any 16 year old for that matter of this generation that could compare in courage, patriotism or honour. If only he lived a decade or two longer I wouldve been able to say I knew him. He was a great man.
Wonderful piece of footage. But it looks more like the 1950's than the 1940's - just judging by the cars.....which look very 50's, rather than 1930's cars which everyone was driving in the 1940's for obvious reasons.
This is the only building in Wien that got damaged? They were lucky. I was in Vienna and they were still pissed off because Vienna was treated like an "open city" such as Paris and Rome.
I think there was much more damage, but don't know the details. Watch the film "The Third Man" by Graham Greene! Any damage would have been inflicted by the allied forces because Austria joined Germany without a fight (the "Anschluss").

1:21: Die Werbung "Tungsram" auf der Wiener Bim ist bemerkenswert: es ist eine ungarische Elektrik Firma, noch immer existiert. Damals war die Firma auf Augenhöhe mit Siemens, Philips oder General Electric. 3:21 ist in Budapest, wahrscheinlich in der Vaci Strasse. "Cipesz" ist Schumacher, "Uri Szabo" ist Herrenmode.

Some scenes do not come from Vienna, but at 2:58 am you can see the Niebelungen Bridge from Linz / Danube, and in Linz the Chremefarben trams were traveling at that time. At that time, the Linz city harbor did not yet exist, and the main handling took place on the Donaulände near the Niebelungen Bridge.
@@thomasnovacek4686 The scènes from 0:00 - 2:57 are in Vienna, the boats could be in Linz, you probably know better than I, but the trams thereafter (4:00) are not even in Austria.

The Schwarzenbergstraße is the continuation of the Schwarzenbergplatz, right of and straight on, to "Seilerstätte". - So the name could have been Schwarzenbergstraße, as some tram stations used to and still do wear names of streets, places and locations close nearby the actual location of the stop...

Glad you like it!
Thank you.
4:10 Passauerplatz, 1st. District
And now look at the Legoland blocks that are being thrown up there , like all other western cities. A tragedy.
3:05 IMHO is Linz, not Vienna. Bridge is called "Nibelungenbrücke", until 1955 the border between US-Sector (right side= South) and Soviet Sector (left side= North)
i lived in linz. you are correct
4:11 Argrhhh, person standing on the window sill on the outside and cleaning the window. My dad and I were always so angry with my mother when she did this, I once threatened here to make the window dirty again if I should ever see her doing that again. Thank god from around 16 on I was tall enough to do that without needing to climb somewhere 🙂
2:48 Entrance to General Hospital Vienna
une belle et agréable vidéo
I was about to say... I have no idea where any of these buildings are, and Vienna today very much looks like Vienna 100 years ago. So as many of the comments have already stated. This is NOT Vienna. At least much of it anyways.
TMC and The Third Man we just watched it Amazing!!!
its not just after the war, as most of the cars are from the mid 50's!
5:40 Now I have to walk to Am Gestade 7 this afternoon. I’ve never noticed that church steeple before
Who else wants to turn back time and live 1 day in this beautiful world?
Any time except 40-45.

Impressive pictures but I guess the AI should look at more trams of Vienna and realize they are all red and not some vague shade of beige-orange.
The A.I. has no idea which country is involved. Maybe in the future it will learn to automatically recognize specific country features. It's impossible to manually change the colors of the trams (although I am attempting to make some software for this purpose).
@@Rick88888888 thanks ... that's what I thought as well. I guess it would have to "learn" from photos/films of museum trams and color them right as it recognizes them?
Beautiful film but I wonder why he kept filming the same lady (maybe his wife girlfriend ) entering the same place several times?
It is raw footage for a movie. I don't know which movie.
Muito bonito!
02:50 Spitalgasse 23, 1090 Vienna , The old Buildings of old General Hospital (AHK), I think it must be the wards of Gynecology.
5:09 Catholic Church Maria am Gestade. 1st. District Salvatorgasse 12
Thank you very much
Beautiful. Is it a concrete jungle now, or do original building's still remain?
The inner part of Vienna (1. District) still has a high density of historical and "old" buildings!
@@mentugo Good to hear. The will of governments throughout history has cost everyday people much, glad some history remains.. 👍👌
The only older buildings that were demolished were due to bomb damage. Nowadays, if they want to convert an old building, they just renovate the funky inside and leave the beautiful, original facade.
My great grandfather a russian living in moscow was 16 in 1941 and had committed a crime (I believe it was theft or petty fraud something along those lines) and was given a choice of being sent to a work camp or to the war. He chose the war and after brief training was tasked to parachute down into german territory with a team of paratroopers and free captured russian soldiers . Having completed the task he was awarded the Soviet Medal for Bravery and was exempt of his sentence and criminal record. He chose to stay in the war whether it was from peer pressure or honour it is unclear but he chose to stay and became an anti aircraft marksman, he almost died multiple times with one of the times being when his anti aircraft firing location was bombarded and bomb that landed near to him killed some of his team, knocked him unconscious and covered him in rubble, he was later miraculously found by dogs sniffing around the rubble assumingly after the bombs stopped coming in. He finished the war in Vienna at 20 years of age with a dozen medals and awards and along with the other soviet victors enjoyed looting Vienna and took a lot of jewlery, watches and fur goods. On the train back from vienna he contracted malaria and passed out, waking up to all of his loot and possessions being stolen down to his passport. But most importantly he got back to russia alive and went on to live till the late 90s. I am sixteen now at the time of writing this and am taken away by the man he was, moral or immoral I struggle to imagine a 16 year old petty criminal or any 16 year old for that matter of this generation that could compare in courage, patriotism or honour. If only he lived a decade or two longer I wouldve been able to say I knew him. He was a great man.
Average Russian, looting and pillaging
Maria am Gestade church still there. So is the woman washing windows 4:15.
Name of the music in the beginning, please.
I'm Surprised it wasn't leveled. 🎬🌪💥
1:42 1st District Schwarzenbergplatz 4 (today Haus der Industrie)
The scenes from 3:26 until 4:01 are not from Vienna. The seem to be coming out of Spain or Portugal or perhaps even Mexico or South America
The sound track would be so much better if he used the Harry Lime Theme, from The Third Man.
You didn't read the full description! Please press the 'SHOW MORE' button.
At 2:40 a man in a dark overcoat got off the tram at a fairly high rate of speed. Maybe he was a stunt man for a movie.
Wonderful piece of footage. But it looks more like the 1950's than the 1940's - just judging by the cars.....which look very 50's, rather than 1930's cars which everyone was driving in the 1940's for obvious reasons.
From 3:27 onwards we seem to go back into time for a moment (1920's?).
That's not even Austria.
What is it then?
@@Rick88888888 Those look like Lisbon streetcars which never ran in Vienna.
En comparación con Berlín no le fue nada mal
Con mucho respeto

Yo are right. Vienna Had punctual damages, but wasnt destroyed completely.
This is not the Vienna Staatsoper, possible the Opera in Bratislava
Pobre chica , cuantas veces la hicieron subir esas escaleras
This is the only building in Wien that got damaged? They were lucky. I was in Vienna and they were still pissed off because Vienna was treated like an "open city" such as Paris and Rome.
I think there was much more damage, but don't know the details. Watch the film "The Third Man" by Graham Greene! Any damage would have been inflicted by the allied forces because Austria joined Germany without a fight (the "Anschluss").
@@Rick88888888Austria didn't fight, but was still annexed by Germany in 1938.
better than today...and that'scoming from someone who was born and raised in vienna
Really? Why?

4:19 ... oh mein Gott .... die Frau beim Fensterputzen ...
Wow, toll gesehen!
Здание готичесское.
Заметьте двери для людей более 2-3 метрового роста сделаны.
И так по всему миру.
Во дворцах дверные ручки на уровне головы.
Моло где это сохронено.
Но в германии мест хватает.

И что за вазы на крыше зданий? Какое у них предназначение? В моем городе сохранились такие вазы, это точно не украшения

The end result of Franz Joseph sending Archduke Ferdinand to Bosnia. Over 30 difficult years.
4:17 Church "Mary at the shore"
1:21: Die Werbung "Tungsram" auf der Wiener Bim ist bemerkenswert: es ist eine ungarische Elektrik Firma, noch immer existiert. Damals war die Firma auf Augenhöhe mit Siemens, Philips oder General Electric. 3:21 ist in Budapest, wahrscheinlich in der Vaci Strasse. "Cipesz" ist Schumacher, "Uri Szabo" ist Herrenmode.
Amazing where did all the giants go?
Some sequences were re-shot and repeated here, ....with the woman in the long coat & cap.
As stated in the description: this was raw footage for a movie
@@Rick88888888 My excuse is that i'm always so keen to watch your offerings, I can't be bothered to read the "description"
@@Baskerville22 You really should read these descriptions, especially if you want to better understand what you are watching.
2:40 The man surely was an American (?) spy! 😊
02:38 possible 'other half'.
Some of the scenes were not filmed in Austria!

@@Rick88888888 I tried to reply twice, both times my comment vanished after a few minutes! But I wrote them as a new comment, look in the first level of comments!
Short version (I am currently on the move on my small phone): Initially, I didn't know myself and I thought you knew the locations and you just forgot to write them. But then I did some research for quite some time and I at least found the one in Buenos Aires :)

Wann war die Straßenbahn in Wien gelb?
Since the A.I. decided that all trams are yellow...
@@Rick88888888 Geht das bitte auch auf deutsch?
wundervoll
Trams in Vienna we're Red, clear red, not yellow.... For the rest, top!
The A.I. colorizer software didn't know that...
Some scenes do not come from Vienna, but at 2:58 am you can see the Niebelungen Bridge from Linz / Danube, and in Linz the Chremefarben trams were traveling at that time. At that time, the Linz city harbor did not yet exist, and the main handling took place on the Donaulände near the Niebelungen Bridge.
@@thomasnovacek4686 The scènes from 0:00 - 2:57 are in Vienna, the boats could be in Linz, you probably know better than I, but the trams thereafter (4:00) are not even in Austria. Looking at the type of trams this (and the Trolley-Bar) this looks more like Barcelona, or even South America (Buenos Aires?)
@@tramways_1435 That's correct, in other comments Buenos Aires was named as the actual location for the film. But these also seem to me as if they were cut into it ...
@@thomasnovacek4686 The city thereafter, with the church-building I don't know. There are no Linz trams to be seen. The trams from 0:00-2:57 have the Vienna city logo on the side, so should be red...
4:25 Maria am Gestade Kirche
So beautiful.... ich liebe wien (●'◡'●)
La señora de la gabardina que aparece una y otra vez debió ser muy religiosa. Creo que fue grabada como cinco veces entrando en la iglesia.

Как мог в таком городе где одни дома как произведения искусства и Штраус иКальман творили шедевры мог родиться такой дьявол как Гитлер
Hitler nem itt született. Braunauba. Hogy Bécs ennyit kapott? Arról az osztrákok is tehetnek. 1938ban igen csak lengették a jobb kezüket. Hirtelen németté váltak. 45ben gyorsan újra osztrák lett mindenki. Erről nagy kuss van.
