  • Note 1: the images are configured for viewing from a PC to which they have been copied, not on-line or directly from a CD. They are of high resolution and large file size, and can take quite some time to download.
  • Note 2: Pages which are 'asides' to the main text are configured as 'spawning pages' - that is, they will open in a new window (or a new tab - which, and its size, are set by how your computer is configured not by here), which you close when you are finished with it. A specimen page is here, and the link has a different background colour. Similarly, links to external pages (eg on the Vienna City's web site) have a special background too. The former will, the latter will not, function with no internet connection.

Lengthy appendices

Several of these are (or link to) rather large PDF files, because they are made available [on the invaluable "ALEX - the Laws of Austria" site] as page images of Fraktur, not as text. The sections-98 of some Postordnungs have been extracted for convenience. You may need to give your browser explicit permission to display them. Each will open in a separate window (or tab); when you're done with it close that window.
