Federal Ministry For Arts, Culture, The Civil Service And Sport
The Ministry of the Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport (German: ''Bundesministerium für Kunst, Kultur, öffentlichen Dienst und Sport'' or ''BMKÖDS'') is the government ministry of Austria in charge of the arts and sport as well as public administration and personnel questions that do not fall within the jurisdiction of another ministry. It bears responsibility for the management of museums and theatres, the maintenance of landmarks and historical sites, and the promotion of Austrian cinema. History Even though the Republic of Austria has always had a large public sector and a considerable number of career civil servants, the country does not usually maintain a dedicated civil service ministry. Traditionally, the interest of Austria's civil servants (''Beamte'') were protected by their strong union (the ''Beamtengewerkschaft'') and by the fact that civil servants were overrepresented among the upper ranks of every major political party. Public employment policy was set, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Although a festival was planned for 1914, it was cancelled at the outbreak of World War I.

Social Democratic Party Of Austria Politicians
Social organisms, including human(s), live collectively in interacting populations. This interaction is considered social whether they are aware of it or not, and whether the exchange is voluntary or not. Etymology The word "social" derives from the Latin word ''socii'' ("allies"). It is particularly derived from the Italian ''Socii'' states, historical allies of the Roman Republic (although they rebelled against Rome in the Social War of 91–87 BC). Social theorists In the view of Karl MarxMorrison, Ken. ''Marx, Durkheim, Weber. Formations of modern social thought'', human beings are intrinsically, necessarily and by definition social beings who, beyond being "gregarious creatures", cannot survive and meet their needs other than through social co-operation and association. Their social characteristics are therefore to a large extent an objectively given fact, stamped on them from birth and affirmed by socialization processes; and, according to Marx, in producing and reproducin ...

It produces three hundred performances of twenty-five German language productions of opera, operetta, musicals, and ballet, during an annual season which runs from September through June. History Foundation The Volksoper was built in 1898 as the ''Kaiserjubiläum-Stadttheater'' (Kaiser's Jubilee Civic Theatre), originally producing only plays. Because of the very brief construction period (10 months) the first director Adam Müller-Gutenbrunn had to start with debts of 160,000 florins. After this inauspicious startup the ''Kaiserjubiläum-Stadttheater'' had to declare bankruptcy five years later in 1903. Music theater from 1903 to 1950s On 1 September 1903, Rainer Simons took over the house and renamed it the ''Kaiserjubiläum-Stadttheater - Volksoper'' (public opera). His intention was to continue the production of plays but also establish series of opera and operetta. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Landestheater Niederösterreich
The Landestheater Niederösterreich is a Schauspielhaus in the Lower Austrian provincial capital St. Pölten. History In the autumn of 1820, a military prison converted by master builder Josef Schwerdtfeger on today's Rathausplatz was opened as the first permanent theatre in St. Pölten, which also served as a ballroom. The first tenant was the theatre entrepreneur Leopold Hoch, who was followed by others. The theatre is mentioned in a guidebook from the Biedermeier period, the work ' by from 1835: :''The newly built theatre is large enough for the city, may not be unfriendly with its half dozen boxes and its gallery, if it were better illuminated.'' After a closure for financial reasons in the 1847/1848 season, the theatre was sold to the city and thus became a municipal theatre. After the Ringtheater fire in 1881, the house was closed as a theatre due to lack of fire safety and from then on was only used as a ballroom. In 1893, the building was completely rebuilt accordi ...
