We continue our Vienna documentary series with the sponsorship of Fatih Koparan Just English Language Schools (www.justenglishtr.com).
The first thing that caught my attention in Vienna, the capital of Austria, is that there is a place called Turkish Street. There is a very touristic place nearby, it's called Cafe Central. Although some Turkish guides say that Atatürk drank coffee here, it is not true, but Trotsky used to come here often and play chess. Formerly known as Chess University. It is said that the intellectual foundations of the Russian Revolution were laid in this cafe.
There is also a castle built by a Byzantine princess in the same square.
There is a statue of Uncle Circassian on Gavur Street in Vienna. No one knows exactly who the Circassian Uncle in Vienna is.
There are many urban legends about the statue in Vienna.
There are sewers during the Siege of Vienna. The sewers are digging tunnels to reach Vienna. They put explosives filled with gunpowder in the tunnels they dug and try to make holes in the walls of Vienna.
The Austrians, on the other hand, were trying to find out if the sewers were approaching, by placing a glass of water on the ground and looking at the shaking of the water.
Legend has it that Uncle Circassian leaks from the holes drilled by the sewers and dives into Vienna with his horse. He begins to cut down the Austrian soldier in front of him. After killing tens of soldiers, Uncle Circassian is killed, but the Austrian king, who sees the incident, is very upset. He punishes his soldiers who killed such a heroic soldier and embalmed him out of respect for Uncle Circassian.
Prince Eugen, one of the greatest commanders in world history. The commander who defeated the Ottoman Empire many times.
He is not accepted by the French Emperor because he is short and ugly, so he chooses to come to Austria and fight the Turks.
There are also rumors that Prince Eugen's mother has an affair with the French king or that he is gay.
Prince Eugen has the Belvedere Palace built. The entrance fee to the Belvedere Museum is 16 euros.
What artworks are in the Belvedere? Edvard Munch's nudist beach painting, Gustav Klimt's Judith, Austrian painters Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka paintings, picasso and of course the masterpiece Gustav Klimt's Kiss Kiss painting is in this museum.
After leaving the Belvedere and walking 40 meters, there is a restaurant called Salm Brau that serves great Austrian food. They brew their own beer. It is my recommendation.
Dr. Tarık Duru, the founder of Brows company, our pride in Vienna, takes me to the place where the Turkish Army was gathered during the Siege of Vienna. Yunus Emre Fountain was established at the place where the Ottoman positions were. The name of the park is Turkenschanz park.
Finally, brother Tarık takes me to the Vienna Arsenal Military Museum. Here, items left by Ottoman soldiers during the 2nd Siege of Vienna are exhibited.
There is a giant Ottoman tent here, where you can see the knives, swords, maces and spears left by the Turkish soldiers. There are plenty of artifacts and items left over from the Siege of Vienna in this museum.
