My 10 Retakes Of Historic Images Show The Past And Present Vienna

August 2, 2019 by Sabahat Waheed

My name is Alex and I’m a Vienna-based internet worker. I’ve always been involved in photography, so that was a nice beginning to my mission. 

In 2011, I began re-photography. My parents got me ‘ a book with old photographs and was captivated by the way my birthplace looked in the past. All those places I knew about, the streets I grew up in, and so on. That seemed so familiar, but at the same moment so distinct. Did you ever wonder how it look like in the past?

So I decided to take photos of those locations to document those differences in the precise angle and viewpoint. Even though I often hear the town looked more lovely in the past, I also want to demonstrate stuff that have improved, such as the structure of pedestrian fields and so on.

#1 Graben from 1966 to 2018

In the city center of Vienna, the major tourist area is now a pedestrian area.

In the Second World War, the Belvedere Palace was partially demolished.
