In the early 1960s, Vienna was a city of contrasts, recovering from the devastation of World War II and its aftermath. The city, which had once been the heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was divided into four occupation zones—American, British, French, and Soviet—though it remained officially neutral and independent.
Vienna’s architecture in the 1960s reflected both its imperial past and its postwar rebuilding efforts. Historic buildings stood alongside modernist structures, as the city underwent a period of regeneration. These fascinating photos from
huebner family photos that captured street scenes of Vienna in June 1961.
