Der Rudolfshof in the Grinzing district of Vienna has been chosen as the venue for the Saturday evening, October 26, celebratory dinner of the IES reunion classes of 1959-64.
This is one of the most appealing wine restaurants in Grinzing, dating back to 1848 when it was little more than a shack within a garden. Its real fame came around the beginning of the 20th century when Crown Prince Rudolf, son of Emperor Franz Josef, adopted it as his favorite watering hole.
A verdant garden, scattered with tables, is favored by Viennese apartment dwellers on warm summer evenings. Inside, portraits of Rudolf decorate a setting that evokes an old-fashioned hunting lodge.
Come here for pitchers of the fruity white wine grüner Veltliner and light red roter Bok. The menu lists schnitzels, roasts, and soups, but the house specialty is shish kabob.
At least 22 members of the the classes of 1959-64 will be at our Vienna reunion, October 24-27, 2013. The following IESers and their significant others have reconfirmed that they will attend the reunion: Continue reading IES Wien 1959-64 reunion update

Page Bradham’s 1961 tour map of Europe has enabled us to recreate computerized maps of our various IES trips using the latest technology. This one shows our bus trip from London to Vienna (with side trips to Oxford and Chartres), a distance of 1,400 miles, after our sea voyage across the Atlantic.
What we’ve learned from comparing the 1961 map with a modern one is how much the primary road systems have changed. In 1961 the major highways were almost all two-lane roads that followed ancient routes while today everything goes by superhighways cutting across the terrain. Here’s our 1961 route, which went on roads that today are mere byways: Continue reading Map: London to Vienna, February 1961

Postscript 2013: Gazing back over the past half century one sees many peaks and valleys in a lifetime. Spring Break of 1961 is definitely one of the highest peaks on my horizon. The time in Italy was fabulous. Life was really good. We had terrific weather, great Italian food, companionship and conversation. We saw the major works of the Renaissance first hand and strolled through incredible ruins of the Roman Empire. We were so young and so carefree. It is hard not to wax nostalgic in thinking about that springtime of our lives. Simon and Garfunkel would express this sentiment precisely on one of their albums. Continue reading David Maraist’s Journal: Spring Break 1961 Tour of Italy
Greetings, IESers!
My name is Gretl. I’m a former IES Vienna student (Fall 2004) who fell in love with the city and stuck around to get a Master’s degree at the Uni Wien. During the 8 years or so that I’ve lived here, I’ve done a lot of work as a tour guide, and recently I turned the content of my city tours into a self-guided Vienna tour app called Gretl Goes: Vienna. Continue reading Self-guided Vienna tour app–Gretl Goes: Vienna

Twelve thousand American college students have attended the University of Vienna through the auspices of IES since Paul Koutny, an Austrian, and Clarence Giese, an American, founded IES in 1950. Members of the class of 1960-61 held our 50th reunion in Vienna the weekend of October 21-23, 2011. This was the first-ever official reunion of an IES class in Vienna. Below are photos of the event.
Here’s the link to an excellent article about Vienna:
In the 50th-anniversary month of the construction of the Berlin Wall, George F. Will has written in The Washington Post today, Sunday, August 14, 2011, a stinging critique of President John F. Kennedy. Kennedy met with Nikita Khruschev in Vienna while we were there in June 1961 then goaded the East Germans into erecting the Berlin Wall in August 1961. A few months earlier, in April, Kennedy authorized the Bay of Pigs disaster. Will says Kennedy’s was “the most incompetent first year of any presidency.

For the few of us slow learners who didn’t become entirely fluent in German during our time in Wien in 1960-61 :-), it’s not too late to relearn German.

Frank Ziegler sent a cryptic message the other day identifying himself and Joel Ziegler in the Saxonia photo of the Spring 1961 group. Frank hinted he looked so old and Joel looked so young back then that Joel was his “son”. Actually, they are the same age and are not related at all.

Dear Everyone,
I think of Vienna very often. In June of 2010, I spent 10 days in Vienna and nearby, retracking all the steps there of 50 years ago. I stayed in a reasonable pension “Suzanne” and could hear the opera every night from my window. Continue reading Penny Goodwin Kurtz sends informative email
Ann Foley sent the following nice note the other day as she helped identify classmates in the London group photo. :
“Just heard about the reunion, and found all this information. What a delight! Thought I’d identify a few of us on the group photo. Was only able to magnify half of it so couldn’t do more: 1 Ann Foley, herself, 2 Nanci Schulson, 7 Janet Bratmuller, 15 Carol Garcia, 16 Sharon Leary. Hope to send some photos later. Ann”

Introduction by David Maraist, March 2011: It was with great expectations that I left Louisiana for the spring 1961 semester in Wien. I decided to keep as detailed a log as possible since I felt that one day I’d enjoy revisiting that time. I have edited certain incidents and mostly left out personal references for obvious reasons. My log was not meant to be a great literary effort expressing deep thoughts and emotions but merely a listing of occurrences to jog one’s memory. So, please bear with me as many of the entries were written by flashlight in the wee hours of the morning. Continue reading David Maraist’s Journal: New York to Vienna, February 1961

If the weather had been as glorious as this postcard depicts with sunshine on our ship, Cunard’s liner RMS Saxonia, our departure would have perhaps not been so memorable. As it was, the weather our departure day was awful–temperature 2 degrees below zero with alligatored ice covering the water; wind roaring down the canyoned streets of Manhattan; and clouds that brought a 7-inch snowfall crippling the metropolis the next day. But our outcome was wonderful. Continue reading February 2, 1961: Departure New York
