Eden Bar

Vienna’s Eden Bar is a legendary institution in the Austrian capital and has a fascinating history.

The house was built in 1911 by architect Rudolf Erdös in the style of late Viennese Secessionism.

The City Bar was first mentioned as a business in 1916 and a few years later the opera singer Emmy Stein bought the bar and renamed it into Eden Bar. The Eden soon became a meeting place for high society, with live music, house balls and champagne. The bar’s glamour reached its first peak in the golden Twenties.

Today the Eden is run by the second Schimanko generation, Michaela Schimanko and Heinz Rüdiger Schimanko.
