Wiener Neustadt, founded in 1192 by the Babenberg dynasty as a fortified “Neuenstat” and later elevated to imperial residence, today combines history with an active cultural scene and a lively city center. With the revitalization of cultural venues such as the Kasematten, the Museum St. Peter an der Sperr and the newly opened Stadttheater, Wiener Neustadt’s cultural offerings have become much more attractive. In addition to the Wortwiege Festival, a wide range of events take place here, including the Milch & Honig Festival, the Bösendorfer Festival, the Kultursommer Wiener Neustadt, the Literature Festival and a varied programme of cabaret, concerts and theater performances.
