GRIECHENBEISL - MARK TWAIN ROOM- FLEISCHMARKT 11-WIEN The ‘Griechenbeisl’ has been serving guests for 550 years. It has gone by many names, from the ‘Gasthaus zum gelben Adler’ to the ‘ Gasthaus zum goldenen Engel’. After Greek traders settled in the area, the inn received the Viennese name ‘Beisl’. Today guests can enjoy the delightful music of a zither player in the same room as the famous ‘Der liebe Augustin’ sang and performed with his bagpipe in the 17th century. Every Viennese child knows the songs and stories about ‘Der liebe Augustin’ who fell into a plaque pit while intoxicated with alcohol, and yet survived. At the entrance of the ‘Griechenbeisl’ you can find “the plague pit”, a reminder of this legendary incident. For many centuries the ‘Griechenbeisl’ was a meeting place for artists, scholars and politicians many of whom are immortalized by their signatures on the walls the famous ‘Mark Twain Room’. In this room you will find signatures from the likes of Karl Lueger, Graf Bismarck, Egon Schiele or Johnny Weissmüller. FOTO © PetrSalek.com
