Alaudagasse is a station on Line U1 of the Vienna U-Bahn located in the 10th district of Vienna. It was opened on September 2, 2017. It is part of the extension of the U1 from Reumannplatz to Therme Wien in Oberlaa. The station, like the majority of the extension, is on or below the north-south Favoritenstraße and is named after the branching here Alaudagasse on the northern edge of the Per-Albin-Hansson Siedlung Ost, which is located east of the route. West of the station is the Per-Albin-Hansson Siedlung Nord. With the opening of the extension of the U1, the tram line 67 was shut down; it had served the stops Alaudagasse and Stockholmer Platz within the area of the current station. South of the Alaudagasse station, the U1 towards Oberlaa, which until this point ran along the Favoritenstraße, branches off and now runs parallel to the Donauländebahn to the Therme Wien. Here, a double-track turning system was built, which is designed in preparation for a line bifurcation. Thus, the possibility of an extension of the U1 to Rothneusiedl, as had been originally planned, remains.

Franz Horr Stadium
Franz Horr Stadium

The Franz Horr Stadium, formally known as Generali Arena for sponsorship reasons and Viola Park for international matches, is a football stadium in the south of Vienna, Austria. It has been the home ground of FK Austria Wien since 1973. The stadium was built in 1925 as the new home of Czech immigrants' club SK Slovan and had a capacity of 10,850. Named after another Czech football club which owned the ground, the stadium was called České srdce ("Czech heart") ground. Largely destroyed during World War II, each of the four stands has been reconstructed several times since. The stadium was renamed Franz-Horr-Stadion in honour of the Wiener Fußball-Verband's (Vienna Football Association) president Franz Horr, who died in 1974. In 2008 and between 2016 and 2018 the East, West and North stands were completely reconstructed as two-tier stands. The North stand also includes a new Top-VIP area. After these modifications, the stadium's maximum capacity is now 17,600. In January 2011, the stadium was renamed Generali Arena, as part of a sponsorship deal between FK Austria Wien and the insurance group Generali. Since UEFA does not recognize sponsored stadium names, the venue is referred to as Viola Park in European competitions, after previously called the Austria Arena. It was originally planned to host the 2020 UEFA Women's Champions League Final, but that match was moved to Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastián due to adjustments caused by COVID-19 pandemic in Europe.

Central European University
Central European University

Central European University (CEU; German: Zentraleuropäische Universität, Hungarian: Közép-európai Egyetem) is a private research university with campuses in Vienna, Budapest, and New York. The university offers intensive graduate and undergraduate programs in the social sciences and humanities, and is known for its low student-faculty ratio, and a highly diverse international student body. Admissions are classified as highly selective with an acceptance rate of 13%. All CEU programs and courses are accredited in Austria, Hungary and the United States. CEU was founded in 1991 by hedge fund manager, political activist, and billionaire philanthropist George Soros, who provided it with an $250 million endowment in 2001, making the university one of the wealthiest in Europe, especially on a per-student basis. The university was founded in Central Europe because of a perceived need for an independent and international university for the region, in light of the fall of the Socialist Bloc and concomitant democratisation. A central tenet of the university's mission is the promotion of open societies, a result of its close association with the Open Society Foundations. CEU is a part of The European University of Social Sciences (CIVICA). The CIVICA Alliance is a group of 10 prestigious European higher education institutions in the social sciences, humanities, business management and public policy, such as Sciences Po, The London School of Economics and Political Science, Bocconi University and the Stockholm School of Economics.
