ARCOTEL Boltzmann Vienna - Ludwig Boltzmann

"The best experience for Boltzmann was to understand something". Gerhard Kowalewski

Ludwig Boltzmann was born on 20th February, 1844. It was the night between Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday in Landstraße, a suburb of Vienna. On the following day he was christened Ludwig Eduard in the parish of St. Rochus and St. Sebastian. Boltzmann once said that the date and time of his birth were the reason for the frequently rapid changes of this spirits from frolic cheerfulness to deep grief.


Boltzmann grew up in a time of change. It was the time after the revolution of 1848, the time between ancient regime and modernity. Just as those years were characterized by new ideas, the area of physics experienced changes during the life of Boltzmann. It was the turn from Newton's classical worldview to the postclassical modern view of science, the dispute between idealism and materialism, between the rigid laws of society and cosmological order and the progressive ideas that we associate with the keyword "Darwinism".

ARCOTEL Moser Verdino Klagenfurt - Postcard Collection

Did you know that the postcard originated in Carinthia?

The first postcard was created by the Klagenfurt resident Emanuel Herrmann, who was also related to the hotel’s former owners, the Moser family. To keep the postcard, which has since become a popular holiday mail and souvenir, from falling into oblivion, the ARCOTEL Moser Verdino offers its own postcard collection. Every year, the ARCOTEL Moser Verdino collection grows by one postcard depicting contemporary Carinthian art. Thus, young local artists are provided with an opportunity to present their work. In October 2009, the artwork of the year was chosen for the fifth consecutive time. The 2010 artwork was created by Tita Ruben and is entitled “Kater” (Male cat). Born in Wolfsberg in 1970, the artist was awarded the second prize at the 2004 BA Arts Awards. She is presenting her work at Galerie 3 in Klagenfurt.

Art & Culture at the ARCOTEL Camino

This series of events has established itself as the new and popular venue at the ARCOTEL Camino.

Four such events - one every three months - were held in 2009. Culture Manager Agneta Kreischer organises the art exhibition. Every three months specially chosen artists present their work for which the BAR SCALA provides an ideal ambiance. The events are accompanied by winemakers from Austria and Stuttgart`s sourrounding region and their wines and they also change quarterly. The WEISSENHOF Restaurant, where Carsten Lopp has only recently taken over as new Executive Chef, provides the culinary delights to go with the events. The evenings are rounded off with live lounge music. After a well-frequented event on 12.01.2010 the team is looking forward to the events scheduled for the rest of the year: 06.07. and 05.10.2010.
