Today I have the book by the historian Timothy Garton Ash "And will not you be my Brother - The East today" (Hamburg 1983) taken once again at hand, and felt me in reading inevitably reminded of the partially occupied by UEFA in Vienna. For in the midst of Vienna runs a wall, which is controlled by strict People's Police (VOPOS). Over into the "zone" ("Fan Zone" calls it the Occupying Power UEFA), one can only with permission of VOPOS, of them will be scanned prior to entry, should a long list does not take different things and is in the police delivered at the border completely. I have reason to travel "over there" once done ... But - as rumored - to drop the wall so soon.
staggers the Vienna-UEFA wall ... Here the (hopefully) last pictures from a divided city:
Vienna - Divided City - the Vienna Wall

border control checkpoint at Karli. This is always tangy, because the transition is an intra-Viennese. Sächselnd threatening and the People's Police approaching from the east zone, but I'm in the armor. He can not touch me. 
welcome immigrants who want to visit their relatives, searched meticulously for counterrevolutionary material. The tragedy is that the tourist zone everything possible is removed (enemy propaganda by companies the UEFA do not fit, small umbrellas, food that it is "over there" is or shall not give, water bottles, which must be either drunk or given prior to entry, etc., etc.) and yet their families only on video screens to get, which may wave to them, therefore only virtually and encouragement towards call to see. 
is particularly insidious the "depot" system of the Eastern Zone. The UEFA occupying power takes only "valuables" which insinuates prefer currencies such as the English lettering. As are the few points of departure well hidden and require long distances to the respective depots are still some things (so this is likely The old system of "forced conversion system of the GDR to be superior). one over there in the zone is the real socialism but realized: everything tastes the same "good", costs the same words and even the same - but in East-Euro, which means that a zone of beer inc. stake in East-Euro 5, -, but costs only 0.70 € West is worth, we measure the price of the very few in West Vienna available outlets for zone Carlsberg beer).
"Goon Towers" - So the American prisoners called the guard towers of the Germans in World War II. They called the tower, which built the East Germans after 1961 within Germany along the border, and so they look today in Vienna. In the picture above of the command tower of the people garden is to see. Significantly, the People's garden taken from the popular police and the fitting ostwiener "Zonis," of course not accessible. Today, police and people there are enjoying higher UEFA comrades with their friends. 
Another "Goon Tower" with privileged guests on the Ausichtsplattform who look at the anti-fascist protective wall UEFA addition to the west. 
A Mauerspechtler who wants to convey an impression of the strip search without actually existing UEFA-ism. Below you can see the many travel restrictions ists UEFA: 
The People's Police in the Public Garden has, of course, special safety precautions. In addition to the outer wall, there is even an inner wall, as the lower photo shows. In a particularly safe locks high value is placed. 
Also, the radio traffic is particularly taken into account. UEFA's propaganda machine is working at full speed as of old Radio Moscow or the "Voice of the GDR." normal citizens of Ostwien should at least not in this area; while West Vienna at least can have a look on it ... 
A Zoni Ostwien looks out on an Austrian policeman who patrolling Reichsratsstraße. Below you see the roadblocks that separate the Imperial Palace of the museums that make Sraßenbahngleise rust ... and the responsible public officers. 
Austrian police (including a trunk cargo on a bus) must also see to the right, for the People's Police is unpredictable. 
The Wall at the Vienna Ring (University of, Burgtheater), the Burgtheater, the university (Grillparzerstraße): 
The tank traps on the ring. It could be that someone illegally takes a picture within Ostwiens kidnapped this picture and then published ... Something needs to be pursued, therefore follow the martial tank traps on the former Ring Road to unruly journalists because of copyright-Quadripartite Agreement. 
"Austria must be reunited!" One of the many unruly journalists who report from the Wall, is committed to the freedom of the UEFA occupation. 
Finally: A view from outside into the UEFA Fanzone: no one there. All hide, no one dares to the public ... 
Yes, I too was once "OVER THERE". I left everything at home, water the people's police may have disturbed and went over ... The report about it soon (maybe in the finale, when the Wall fell). schaffnerlos>> was traveling in Vienna (Atom XML)
