Linz is an industrial town some 180 km west of Vienna and one of the histortical centres of Austrian labour movement. The short civil war between Austro fascist militias ("Heimwehren", Home Guards) and the federal army on the one hand and the paramilitary organization of the labour movement, the Republikanischer Schutzbund (Republican Defense League) on the other hand, in February 1934, started in Linz; the surroundigs of the Jägermayrhof were one of the centres of combat. For today's Linz attractions cf. the official website of Linz.
