In this book, the seventh of my series on "Introducing Vienna's Caf??? Culture", I elaborate on historic Viennese coffeehouses - ones built just preceding the transformative Ringstrasse epoch (1857-1914). Remarkably, most of these coffeehouses are still in operation today- shining in modern, contemporary times. In Book 6, I addressed Caf??? Demel (1786) and Caf??? Dommayer (1823) [1783] as two landmark Viennese coffeehouses. Here, I emphasise Caf??? Frauenhuber (1824), and Caf??? Vienne (1829), both established before the Ring's development. Thereafter, I focus on core 1840s period coffeehouses: Caf??? Eiles (1840) and Caf??? Griensteidl (1847), with Eiles still serving coffee and cake today. In relation to these above coffeehouses, I highlight principal thematic insights, framing my Book Series: Caf??? Frauenhuber (1824 [1746]), The city's oldest traditional coffeehouse; Caf??? Vienne (1829), Balkan connections, Caf???-Restaurant namesake, and European Historic Caf???s Association; Caf??? Eiles (1840) Political Pissazz, Viennese coffee roastery, and Intangible Cultural Heritage; and, conclude with: Caf??? Griensteidl (1847), Legacy of Coffeehouse/ Literati amidst Caf??? Society. My next book (8) illustrates key Ringstrasse cafes, in chronological order of establishment: Caf??? Schwarzenberg (1861), Caf??? Ritter (1867), and Caf??? Imperial (1873). As part of my Series, I evoke the Slavic of legacy framing Vienna's cafes. I credit Slavonic peoples' pivotal leadership and loyal patronage, as integral to Vienna's coffeehouse development (Caf??? Sperl 2017a; Kaffee Alt Wien 2022a; Aida 2022b; Caf??? Hawelka 2022a; Caf??? Sluka 2022a; Hotel Sacher Vienna 2022a). My Book contends that Colonel Kolschitzky, a Polish Diplomat/Nobleman, and leading hero of the Siege of Vienna (1683) [supported by Polish King Sobieski the Third], was one of the first in the city to acquire a Viennese coffeehouse licence (1683). Kolschitzky's innovative move frames my Slavonic- enlightened joy de vivre, omnipresent through the leadership and patronage of Slavic peoples within historic-modern Viennese caf??? society. Further, my Series details cafes' extensive menu cards, and certainly, tantalising coffees, tasty cakes, refined pastries, along with appetising savoury cuisines, influenced by interrelated Slavonic and continental palates. Drawing upon the Slavonic contribution towards Vienna's coffee culture, and Unesco's (2011) official recognition of the Viennese coffeehouse as 'intangible cultural heritage', my Book Series focusses on these coffeehouses: Caf??? Demel (1786); Caf??? Dommayer (1823) [1783]; Caf??? Frauenhuber (1824[1746]); Caf??? Vienne (1829); Caf??? Eiles (1840); Caf??? Griensteidl (1847); Caf??? Schwarzenberg (1861); Caf??? Ritter (1867); Caf??? Imperial (1873); Caf??? Landtmann (1873); Caf??? Diglas [Wollzeile] (1875) along with the four Diglas caf???s: Caf??? Diglas (Schottenstift), Dairy Diglas (Caf??? Meierei Diglas) and Diglas at the meat market (Caf??? Diglas, Fleischmarkt); Caf??? Central (1876); Hotel Sacher and Caf??? Sacher (1876); Caf??? Sperl (1880); Conditorei Sluka (1891); Caf??? Westend (1895); Caf??? Savoy (1896); Caf??? Mozart (1899) [1794]; Caf??? Museum (1899); Caf??? Weimar (1900); Caf??? Korb (1904); Caf??? Pr???ckel (1904); Caf??? Goldegg (1910); Caf??? Jelinek (1910); Aida (1913) [1921]; Kaffee Alt Wien (1922); Caf??? Hawelka (1939); Kleines Caf??? (1973-74); and Caf??? Hofburg (2004) [building dates to 1279, the 13th century], situated in the former Hofburg palace.
