Schanigarten
Schanigarten[edit | edit source]
The Schanigarten is a traditional outdoor seating area associated with coffee houses and restaurants in Austria, particularly in Vienna. The term is derived from the name of the Viennese coffee house owner, Johann Georg Schani, who was the first to establish such an establishment in the 18th century.
History[edit | edit source]
The history of the Schanigarten dates back to the late 18th century. Johann Georg Schani, a Viennese coffee house owner, was granted permission by Emperor Joseph II to set up tables and chairs outside his establishment. This was the first instance of an outdoor seating area associated with a coffee house in Vienna, and it soon became a popular feature of the city's social life.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
A typical Schanigarten is an outdoor extension of a coffee house or restaurant, usually set up on the sidewalk or in a courtyard. It is furnished with tables and chairs, and often shaded by umbrellas or awnings. The Schanigarten is a popular place for people to gather, socialize, and enjoy food and drink in the open air, especially during the warmer months.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
The Schanigarten holds a significant place in Austrian, particularly Viennese, culture. It is a symbol of the city's social life and hospitality, and is a popular feature of its urban landscape. The Schanigarten is also associated with the traditional Viennese coffee house culture, which is recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Regulations[edit | edit source]
There are specific regulations governing the operation of a Schanigarten. These include rules regarding the size and location of the seating area, the type of furniture that can be used, and the hours of operation. These regulations are intended to ensure that the Schanigarten does not obstruct pedestrian traffic or cause a nuisance to residents.
