THE OFFICE OF THE AUSTRIAN FEDERAL PRESIDENT AT...

The Leopoldine Wing of the Vienna Hofburg is a centre of political life in Austria - today  as
the seat of the offices of the republic's head of state  just as it was in past times as a
ceremonial centre of the Hasburgs. Built under Emperor Leopold I as an extension of the
medieval castle complex  this wing contained the most splendid interiors of the imperial court
in Vienna  valuable furniture and precious artworks dating from the Maria Theresian Rococo and
neo-classical phases to historicist furnishing styles. This book provides a glimpse behind
doors that are only very seldom openend. It tells of the building's political and architectural
history as well as of its art and furnishing history  drawing on recent scientific findings and
contemporary photography to present the Office of the Austrian Federal President at the Vienna
Hofburg in a completely new light.
