The Wienerlied and death

wean hean - The Wienerliedfestival in the Imperial Court Chapel

 

Few clichés run as deep as the supposed morbidity and longing for death of the Viennese. Kreisler's song "Der Tod, das muss ein Wiener sein" has reinforced this nonsense.

We would like to explore this topic once again (!) in the Wienerlied. With side ears to the folk song and sacred song. In doing so, we will discover that the Viennese ultimately have nothing to fear in their convictions "Der Herrgott muaß a Weana sein" and "Im Himmel spielt der Ziehrer". So it's easy to follow the invitation "Don't make any fuss - go!" and put down the plane.
