A century and a half ago Austria used to be a thrieving, multi cultural monarchy in Europe. Of course this included all the bells and whistles every such proud empire obviously needs: a mighty emperor, vast lands and huge armies – on land, the air and also the sea. Many things have changed in the meantime and there are still some remaining few who don’t get tired on looking grievously back into the nation’s past: what it used to be and how all its glory and beauty has gone, forevermore.
