historical context of the city

The city of Wiener Neustadt has to struggle not only in the present with such dramatic events. In history, too, it is known as a setting for significant political arguments. In 1522, Archduke Ferdinand called an ominous, public tribunal to end the current takeover in the city. After Maximilian I's death, many members of the estat in Wiener Neustadt came under pressure, which gave Ferdinand the opportunity to take brutal measures against his opponents. This led to a two-week process that ended with the death penalty for several aristocrats, as habsburger.net . Such events not only shaped the political landscape back then, but also contribute to the dark reputation of the city.

The flight of the Dutch raises questions about the security measures within the prison, which apparently enabled him to escape in such a spectacular way. The current investigations are being pursued with tension, while the authorities do everything they can to regain control of the situation.
