Austria and Europe

In 1989, the “Iron Curtain” – the border that had divided Central Europe for 40 years – fell. In 1994, two-thirds of Austrian voters said “yes” to joining the EU, and the EU flag was raised for the first time at the Neue Hofburg on Heldenplatz. This overview brings together online exhibitions, encyclopedia entries, events, and other digital resources on Austria and Europe provided by the hdgö.
