Graben, Vienna The word Graben means ditch. The famous shopping street was originally a ditch. On the bank of this ditch lived the poor of the city, but later it also became a red light district. The Graben is now the centre of the ‘gemütlich’- the jovial Vienna. There are a lot of cafes here, without them this city would not be what it is today. They sell praline balls named after Mozart, and the cappuccino is equally good everywhere. Cafe Schwarzenberg, which is still popular today, was also frequented by Emperor Francis Joseph. The Viennese people gladly pop in for a cup of coffee, to play chess or to read the papers. The famous Sacher Hotel was the meeting point of the nobility of Europe. The owner, Madame Anna asked the visitors to sign a white tablecloth, then she embroidered the signatures. Each European capital has a classy shopping street. In Vienna, this street is the Kärntner Street. This road, leading towards Karintia already existed in the time of Vindobona. On the streets jugglers, musicians and artists entertain the passers-by. Southeast from a log, at the Himmelpfortgasse stands the former cloister with the same name. According to legend, an elderly nun ran away and returned only seven years later, when she surfeited from carnal life. No one recognised her escape, because every time she was supposed to have been on duty, the statue of Virgin Mary stepped down from the pedestal and did her duty instead of her. The statue is still under the gate.
