Whether it be the poems of Ingeborg Bachmann, plays by Ödön von Horvath or novels by Peter Handke, you can find the originals in the Literary Archive, one of the most important institutions of its kind in the German-speaking region. We collect and acquire literary legacies, both pre- and post-death, of Austrian authors from the 20th century (notably from 1945) and make them available for research purposes.
Thank you for your understanding that our blog posts are available in German only.
Please note the opening hours during the holidays.
The department and the reading room of picture archives and graphics department remain closed on January 22, 2025.
