Great video :-) Brings back a lot of childhood memories ... I love 7:14 where it says "Schaffnerlos" on the back of the tram, indicating that there is no extra conductor in the waggon like there used to be up to the 70ies. I didn´t know that they started replacing the old waggons on the Stadtbahn already in 1983 ...
Very nice video, thank you! I live in Vienna since the 70s. You still see some of those trams although most have gradually been replaced by ultra low floor by now. And the U-Bahn (underground) has been massively extended.
lol those little buses....I live there since 2009, never got to see them. These old trams from the 50s still exist, e.g. on the 49 line going to Hütteldorf....thanks for sharing this valuable historic video.....
Damals war ich 1 jahr alt. Leider erinnere mich nicht mehr an die stadtbahn. Ich glaub ich fuhr auch nie mit ihr. Aber ich erinnere mich an die u6 Eröffnung :)
Good evening thank you for uploading this video ad it brings back old memories of Vienna as I am half Austrian the trams themselves may be very old & outdated but love the old wooden seats as I well know that they still operate on the U6 on the old Stattbahn, still compared to the new trams which also operate in Vienna to this present day.
I believe it's the parking handbrake although it didn't seem to be used at Stadtbahn stations when in public service - that could explain why the strap holds it out of the way. I would image it would be used to park in the depot. Perhaps a Vienna expert can help?
Yes, as it should because that's exactly the reason why the ring was built, as one of the major traffic arteries of the city. If there is traffic flowing through there, it means that the city is alive and well ^^ doesn't matter what kind of traffic it is, horse carriages, cars, or maybe something else in the future.
@@Labroidas I strongly disagree. This is why the Lastenstraße was built, going parallel to the Ring. The Ring was built as a promenade to see and be seen, with many great buildings alongside. It only became the traffic hell it is today in the 50s and 60s.
@@dpsdps01 Ok you're right, I looked into it and I think I remembered something I read somewhere wrong, thanks for the correction. But at least the Stephansplatz and Kärnterstraße are not motor traffic routes anymore, that would be a nightmare. I think it's preferable to have the current configuration with all the traffic flowing around the 1. Bezirk to keep the center calm and peaceful. It's just a fact that almost 2 million people need to get to and from work every day, and that our needs are different from the ones in the early 1900s. I think the solutions they found to solve the traffic problems in the 60s, 70s and 80s are for the most part pretty good to be honest, keeping most of our historic streets intact, especially compared to other cities like London we've had comparatively little destruction.
Nothing has changed since than. Except the metro lines grow bigger. U3 on the Mariahilferstraße and the formal Stadtbahn, U6 from Spittelau to Floridsdorf and Meidling to Siebenhirten.
Very, very nice video! Brings back a lot of memories! And very professional made! But there is something I want to correct: the red and yellow Stadtbahn-cars at minute 03:20 are not from 1925, they are from 1954!
@@samanli-tw3id Well, yes and no. The 1954 stock were essentially new cars using a few select bits of the 1925 stock, mainly motors, two steel beams from the body frame and the windows. The trucks, the car bodies and the pneumatic braking systems were new.
Ja, für einige Jahre war der 43er der 2er, hat für mich am Schulweg oft Verzögerung bedeutet, weil auf der langen Strecke immer wieder was passierte. Heute fährt der 2er die J Wagen Strecke und hat beim Parlament eine Kurzanbindung, falls am Ring eine Demo oder anderes ist.
Weil Anfang der 80er für ein paar Jahre der 43er mit dem 2er-Ringwagen verbunden war. Gefahren wurde Neuwaldegg - Schottentor - Ring - Kai - Ring - Schottentor - Neuwaldegg. Analog dazu gab es auch einen 1er, der Praterkai - Schwedenplatz - Kai - Ring - Kai - Schwedenplatz - Praterkai gefahren ist.
At this time: "Wiener Stadtwerke Verkehrsbetriebe". Since aprx.: 1999 Wiener Stadtwerke Holding AG First/bevor, it was an institution, people knew, they can rely - as well for people to have transport as for employment. Everybody told, when you got a job there, don´t leave. Nowadays the average working-period is 1-3 years. And if you use the public transport, you have to be afraid/be aware of troubles/grousing (dirt and infection also). My time with this work was 3 years. And that was in de 90s (second half). Last year an entrepreneur told me "AG´s" (the corporate form) is mainly to make profit. To generate money for external people. The Wiener Stadtwerke Verkehrsbetriebe were determined for the people (residents and visitors alike) - to have the opportunity to be transported and to have jobs. Especially after WW2. And they made a gambling hall out of it.
...ja, Wir hatten hier in Stuttgart jahrelang das identische Fahrzeug (allerdings in gelber Lackierung) rund um Stuttgart, herrliche Form, wurde leider ersetzt, durch eine hässliche, eckige Straßenbahn, denselben Straßenbahncharakter werden Wir leider niemals mehr bekommen, schade, trotzdem frohe X-mas...Ray...
Das sind wunderschöne historische Aufnahmen der Straßenbahnen meiner Heimatstadt. Danke.
Danke! Bin froh meine Aufnhamen von damals hier zeigen zu können :)
der Geruch von den geölten Holzböden in den alten Stadtbahn- und Strassenbahngarnituren🤩
Auch in meiner Volksschulklasse rochen die Böden so!
😊
Richtung Hütteldorf. Immer ganz vorne gestanden und dem Fahrer zugeschaut
09:17 die Tichy Werbung hat sich in den letzten 40 Jahren auch ned geändert ^^
kein Geld ???

Hi there, thanks for your comments! Maybe one day I'll make it back to Vienna...
I read that the old trams are almost only used today for the city center because of the athmosphere?
@@xxdomixx1085 Are you joking? 🤣Honestly, I cant imagine that.
@@stevenr2463 No I mean during the tourist season in the summer.
Thank you for this excellent documentary of the Vienna of my childhood
Glad you enjoyed it! I had no idea 40 years ago that there would be something later called Internet and that I would be able to share my films :)
Sensationelle Aufnahmen, danke! Habe 20 Jahre in Wien gewohnt
Danke, freut mich!
So ein Zufall. Wo man Dich überall findet. 😀

Seas du Grundgesetz hahha
@@rafomic4210 prost Mahlzeit, Hawara. Ich bin die linke Hand des Gesetzes....;)) hahaha
Finde es immer wieder cool wie die Städte früher aussahen, es wirkt eine Nostalgie hervor obwohl ich gar nicht zu dieser Zeit geboren war 😂
Ja, das Leben war einfacher, bin da auch nostalgisch!
Ich habe vermisst das Parlamentsgebäude ohne Baugerüste und Kräne zu sehen!
Ja, wird Zeit, dass sie mal fertig werden
Ein Baugerüst, das Symbol für eine gescheiterte Ära Kurz bald weg kommt, damit die Demokratie wieder durchatmen kann? 🤷🏻♂️
Ich frage mich was dort gemacht wird, weils so lange dauert!
Damals war ich 1 jahr alt. Leider erinnere mich nicht mehr an die stadtbahn. Ich glaub ich fuhr auch nie mit ihr. Aber ich erinnere mich an die u6 Eröffnung :)
On of the trams in the video may be still in use in Cracow, Poland.
Die schönste Stadt der Welt
Dieses Strassebahn ist zehr alt so aber ist eine geschicte die Offenlichter Verkehrs in Osterreich mussen ist moglich.
Sehr schöne Szenen, auch der Kameramann verstand sein Handwerk!
Vielen Dank! Damals auf Super 8 gefilmt und auch Stativ mitgeschleppt!
Viena, la ciudad más bella del mundo y un sistema de transporte perfecto, puntual,. excelente
6:37 - Schön, Linie T wiederzusehen
Ein großartiges Video!
Vielen Dank dafür.
Мой любимый город!!! Помню эти красные трамвайчики!!!😊👍🚋
This is beautiful
Vienna is beautiful and always worth visiting :)
Бывал в Вене в 2010 году. Красавец город Very beautiful...

Thanks for your comments. Vienna remains one of my favourite cities!
I was born 1983 in Vienna... thanks for this!
You're welcome :)
@4:57 - Interesting...What was that long handled lever for and why was it held in place with a strap ?
I believe it's the parking handbrake although it didn't seem to be used at Stadtbahn stations when in public service - that could explain why the strap holds it out of the way. I would image it would be used to park in the depot. Perhaps a Vienna expert can help?
@@transport4616 Yes, it's the handbrake only used for parking the vehicle.
@@moezilla7838 Thanks for this confirmation and also your answers to other questions about this video :)
Die alte Stadtbahn (heute U6) auf der Gürtellinie ab min 4:29. Man beachte den Linksverkehr! (Galt in Wien bis 1938)
Die Franz Josephs Bahn und ihre gesamte Strecke hat bis dato Linksverkehr.
Ich liebe Wien .. keine Stadt ist Perfekt aber Wien kommt ganz in der nahe!
Not a lot has changed since then - the city is less grey, but the insane traffic on the ring still persists.
Yes, as it should because that's exactly the reason why the ring was built, as one of the major traffic arteries of the city.

U1 extended, U2 extended, U5 being newly built....a LOT has changed, mate. Cheers!
Now there are new modern Flexity Trams and U5 Metro will come. And U3 on Mariahilferstraße will become a new U2 Station.
Thank you!
You're welcome, my pleasure to share!

Those 1954 stock were actually the original 1925 stock rebuilt.
Thanks ! By the way, the commentary is also the original from 1983 - a much younger me :)

4:20 - Weiß jemand, warum da ein 2er auf der Jörgerstraße gefahren ist? Does anybody know why line 2 was on the Jörgerstr. then?
Ja, für einige Jahre war der 43er der 2er, hat für mich am Schulweg oft Verzögerung bedeutet, weil auf der langen Strecke immer wieder was passierte. Heute fährt der 2er die J Wagen Strecke und hat beim Parlament eine Kurzanbindung, falls am Ring eine Demo oder anderes ist.

Kann mich noch an die Stadtbahnstation Westbahnhof erinnern. Würde mich freuen sie wieder zu sehen 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Wobei schön war die alte Station ja nicht wirklich. Ähnlich wie die alten Schnellbahnstationen Südtiroler Platz und Südbahnhof, ein finsteres Loch.
Alles aufgebaut von uns vielen kleinen Arbeitern. Zu dieser Zeit war Öffis fahren noch etwas Abenteuer und billiger.
Nennt man heutzutage abfällig "die Boomer". Absichtlich von Medien verbreitet, zwecks Spaltung der Bevölkerung.
"Boomer" werden diese Arbeiter heutzutage abfällig von den "sozialen" Medien genannt.
Vielen dank!
Gern geschehen :)
That guy got more fundamental knowledge of viennese tramways than any austrian.
hat sich garnichts geändert ist das selbe, bis vor 10 jahren gabs noch immer die alten Strassenbahn.
nice vintage video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Coole Aufnahmen!
Danke fürs hochladen.
Die Remise bei 2:49 kommt mir verdammt bekannt vor, ich komm aber nicht drauf welche das ist, bzw gewesen ist!
Bitte, bitte ! Dank TH-cam kann ich endlich meine Filme zeigen. Es ist so lange her (1983), dass ich es mit der Remise nicht mehr weiss...
Die Remise bei Minute 2:49 ist der Betriebsbahnhof Rudolfsheim. Sieht heute noch genauso aus.
Trams from the 1950s were still operating in the 1980s ? :O
indeed they were!
The C-type trams from the 50s were operating until 1996. The 4-axle c3-trailers from the late 50s and early 60s were operating until 2017.
Wow, TIL that we had double decker busses in Vienna
Double decker buses were in use in Vienna until 1991.
Da war ich genau 1 Jahr alt... Früher war halt noch vieles einfacher als heute..
Danke Schöne Nacht

"here is something you rarely see outside vienna...."
me: " A CHEVY VAN!!!!!

Schon damals wurde in der Straßenbahn für Eis geworben.
Viena a fost intotdeauna un oras magnific..plin de istorie... Te copleseste! La 3:05 apare si o Dacia 1300 :)

I am from vienna❤
There are heaters under some seats. If you happen to sit on those seats , it will cook you bums.
I always get Vienna confused with Venice - Vienna is in Austria, right ?
yes in Austria
❤️❤️❤️
Und das Beste: keine Fahrradwege und aggressive Radler am Ring die die Fußgänger drangsalieren.
LOL... ja, ich konnte damals mein Stativ ohne Behinderung aufstellen !
Gar nicht so lange her.. War damals schon einiges nicht in Ordnung. Aber heute. Lebenswärteste Stadt.. Für "Touristen".

How dirty everything was back then.
