Confrontation with various sources and narratives referring to the historic phenomenon of migration using the example of the (imperial) capital Vienna. Prospective historians are getting used to prepare excursions under specific topics.

Migration to Vienna is often depicted in media as a recent phenomenon. The analytical commitment of historians can prove that without migration Vienna would not have developed in the way we know today. Vienna is taken as a model for urban development which relied on various waves of immigration and emigration. Some of these will be studied between the Early Modern Period and present age.  To name a few and skip many: from the Greek tradesmen to Czech building workmen, from the Italian composer to the Furlan icecream provider, from the French chambermaid to the Bohemian female cook and the Polish bedder.

Reading, discussion of relevant literature, preparation of material for the excursion.

Preparation of relevant topics for the excursion and if necessary final essay.
