Egon Schiele route in Neulengbach

Popis

The Egon Schiele route offers an insight into the life and work of Egon Schiele during his time in Neulengbach. On 11 April 1912, Egon Schiele received a summons as a suspect to the district court of Neulengbach and was taken into custody two days later after a one-and-a-half-hour interrogation. On 4 May 1912, Schiele was sentenced to three days of strict arrest for "violation of public decency and modesty" and was released from custody on 7 May 1912.
The original site of the imprisonment (cell 2) and a small permanent exhibition in the cell wing of the court building in Neulengbach can be visited daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. free of charge.

Popis trasy Egon Schiele route in Neulengbach

We start at the parking lot, where the first sign is already visible. Along the church walls, we walk down through the forest and come out at a street intersection. Here we also already see the second sign. Then we continue on Almersbergstraße and cross the Anzbach. Just before the right turn, the third sign is already there. We follow the street further until we see the fourth sign and have the option to turn right. We follow Austraße and then turn into Egon Schiele Street. Follow this until we see the fifth sign. Then turn back and follow Egon Schiele Street to the sixth sign, which is just before a bridge. Then we continue straight ahead, up the gravel path, and then turn right. We pass by the playground and already see sign number 7. Then just straight ahead, across the street, and into the grounds where the eighth sign and the museum are located.
