From the civil engineer to the city guide: Bernhard Rennhofer reveals Vienna underground
Bernhard Rennhofer has made a name for himself as an expert by clearly presenting the fascinating details of the construction sites in Vienna on social media. The civil engineer from the 10th Viennese district has developed a remarkable interest in the change in city history. Originally he wanted to become a pilot, but his passion shifted to the complex structures of the Viennese underground. He shares his specialist knowledge via his platform, in particular about the history and construction of subway stations.
his entry into the social media business found Rennhofer during his studies. The initial videos also dealt with construction projects outside of Vienna, but he quickly found that his audience was particularly interested in the Viennese topics. "I have always found it exciting how larger infrastructure projects were created in Vienna," he says. This was the impetus to produce more content from his homeland.
effective transfer of knowledge
In order to loosen up the construction knowledge, which is often perceived as dry, Rennhofer has developed a special technology: it links technical information with historical anecdotes. This not only makes his videos instructive, but also entertaining. An example of this is his enthusiasm for the Karlsplatz subway station, which has a special place in his heart. This station is not only the oldest hub of the Viennese subway, but also had an exciting story that extends until the Vienna river was released.
"It is impressive to see how much this area has changed over time," he notes. The construction of this station required great expenses, including the demolition of buildings and the blasting of bridges that spanned the historic Vienna river. Today's Karlsplatz is an impressive example of the transformation of urban life and infrastructure.
The serious planning and the construction of this station converted the Karlsplatz into a young landmark of the public transport network. Provisional bridges were created over the huge construction pits that made the progress of the project for onlookers accessible.
Due to his committed presentation of content, Rennhofer has sparked the interest of many people. "It makes me happy to see how children watch my videos," he is pleased about the positive response that he regularly receives from his viewers.
Currently the civil engineer continues as a tourist guide. This should help him to explain the Viennese construction sites even more deeply with their history. With this combination of knowledge and passion, Rennhofer wants to ensure that more people can get to know the unique history of the city and the subway stations.
