There are a few characteristics that the people here seem to share: For one thing, there is an openness paired with serenity which allows for an unusual closeness and a healthy dose of humor.

Just as naturally as the members of various religions are bid farewell here in the same place, Austrians work here together with migrants, Muslims together with Catholics and atheists.

A place where, through the presence of the existential levels of our existence, the connecting principle is placed in the foreground.
