History
Foundation to World War II
FK Austria Wien has its roots in Wiener Cricketer, established on 20 October 1910 in Vienna. The club was renamed Wiener Amateur-SV in December of that year and adopted the name Fußballklub Austria Wien on 28 November 1926.
The team claimed its first
championship title in 1924. Wiener Amateur changed its name to Austria Wien in 1926 as the amateurs became professionals. The club won its second league title that year.
The 1930s, one of Austria Wien's most successful eras, brought two titles (1933 and 1936) in the
Mitropa Cup

Matthias Sindelar, who was voted in 1998 as the greatest Austrian footballer.
The club's success was interrupted by the
annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in 1938, with Austria taunted as "''
Judenklub''". While Jewish players and staff at the club were killed or fled the country, Sindelar died under unresolved circumstances on 23 January 1939 of

Post-World War II
Austria Wien won its first league title for 23 years in 1949, and retained it the following year. It later won a fifth title in 1953. The club won 16 titles in 33 seasons between 1960 and 1993, starting with three-straight titles in 1961, 1962 and 1963. Forward

Recent history
At the start of the 1990s, Austria Wien enjoyed its most recent period of sustained success: three-straight Bundesliga titles from 1991 to 1993; three Austrian Cup titles in 1990, 1992 and 1994; and four Austrian Supercup titles in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994. However, the club declined in the late 1990s due to financial problems which forced key players to be sold.
Austria Wien was taken over by Austro–Canadian billionaire
