Trotsky, Stalin, & Hitler walked into a Coffee House : Viennese Coffee House History

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Extra Information & Sometimes Corrections if Needed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0:00 I apologize ahead of time for all the mispronunciations in this video. 1:10 Coffee drinking and selling can be dated in Venice as far back as 1616 but the first commercial coffee house didn't open until 1645 or 1647. 1:10 Ok "Europe" here is a bit misleading, there where coffee houses on the European side of the Ottoman Empire specially in Constantinople. 1:13 The coffee house at Oxford wasn't technically the "first coffee house" in England because it wasn't a corporate institution but a university one. 1:15 There was coffee drinking in Marseilles in 1644 but the first permanent coffee house wasn't established until later. 2:26 35, Rittner, The Thinking Space. (full bibliography with sources is in my script available for free on my Patreon) 3:06 36, Rittner, The Thinking Space. 3:54 Both also frequented Café Frauenhuber. 3:59 I meant Johann Strauss but showed a picture of Richard Strauss, my bad. 5:20 40, Rittner, The Thinking Space. 7:38 Lenin didn't meet Stalin in Krakow for the first time they have meat before. 8:21 The quote says Mr. Bronstein not Trotsky as that's the name Trotsky was known under at the time. 8:35 Although Hitler preferred the working class cafes on Schwegerstrasse 25, called Cafe Kubata. 8:57 Even though Freud was known to go to Cafe Central he preferred the cafes previously mentioned. 9:15 didn't have time to explain the "Young Vienna" movement or the writers involved with it, here is a wiki link if you're interested- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Vienna 9:15 The group of writers part of the "Young Vienna" movement first meat at Café Griensteidl and when it was closed moved to Cafe Central. 9:44 Ok so Bahr is often considered to be Jewish by many sources (hence why I put him in the video) but he technically wasn't. He was actually quite a big anti-Semite in his youth but in his later years he changed and became very heavily involved with the Jewish culture and community in Vienna. He wrote in opposition to antisemitism, married a Jewish actres, and hung out in many Jewish circles in the Viennese Coffee Houses. Due to his campaign against racial antisemitism he is very often mentioned in a Jewish context hence why many people think he's Jewish. 9:54 174, Shapira, Style and Seduction. 10:37 I meant to say decompressed not decomposed, had a bit of a brain fart sorry.

Imagine Hitler & Stalin bumping into one another, and then both apologising to the other

That sounds like the start of a really bad joke.

Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Tito, Kafka, Freud and Hitler all walk into a coffee house in Vienna. There are no survivors.

Imagine Stalin, Trotsky, Tito, And Hitler being on the same cafe bumping to each other and a few years later they know that all of them will be an enemy with one and another

This is like, the biggest crossover in history, endgame cannot even be compared to this

Its always cool to see how and that the world was pretty connected before the internet.

So there's a chance that tito, hitler, stalin, and trotsky all had coffee together? Edit: And freud and franz ferdinand as people told me.

Came for learning about Stalin, Trosky and Hitler being in the same coffee house, stayed for the interesting history of Austrian coffee culture.

Well, if the Austrian coffee house scene makes a comeback, I’ll start building my bomb shelter for WWIII

As a viennese i must unfortunately say that many historic café houses in the 1at District are now just tourist traps. I once got kicked out because I was just enjoying my paper instead of purchasing more. There are of course still great cafes here but they are few gems

I'm just imagining it like Stalin is invading Berlin Hitler - "Wait! Time out! Coffee time!" Hitler and Stalin both walk into the nearest coffee shop and share a few cups Stalin - "So, how's the wife?" Hitler - "Planning to be with me until the end, yours?" Stalin - "Dead, remember?" Hitler - "Ah yes, yes..." They sip

The Four pillars of democracy: The Executive The Legislative The Judicial The Coffehouse

These coffeehouses sound like THE places to be, you could've met so many interesting characters in them and people of high classes to low classes met and mingled. These days the only interesting person you'll find in a damn Starbucks is that dude with the guitar and wearing a black leather jacket, you know you've seen that guy we've all seen him.

this sounds like the internet, but with a couple weeks of ping

Hearing you refer to "Coffeeshops" makes me chuckle as a Dutch person.

Here in Melbourne we had many huge "Coffee Palaces" built in the late 1800's. Some of these ornate buildings were 6 floors high and over 100 metres long. They were a reaction against excessive drinking, but unlike the hard line Americans who wanted to ban alcohol, most of the builders of these Coffee Palaces just wanted to provide a comfortable, civilised alternative to hotels. Most of them were demolished between the 1930s and 1970s, the huge Federal Coffee Palace (later Hotel) was an especially tragic loss, but one of the larger coffee palaces survived as the Windsor Hotel which is over the street from the Parliament of Victoria.

now I have to watch this video in Vienna at a coffeehouse

Its insanly weird that you only have 90k subs. You make amazing content, and I hope you know that. I am a big fan! Your content includes educational facts, great humor and lesser known fun facts.

It reminds me of the 'bierkellers' in Munich where for instance in Hofbrauhaus am Platzl, Lenin and Hitler also regurarily visited.
