Why do they speak German in Austria?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Until 1866 Austria was part of Germany. In fact, until then Austria was officially the leading German state, but it was expelled from Germany by Prussia. A cultural (and clear political) distinction between Germany and Austria didn't really arise till after 1866. Other languages don't call the people in Germany "Germans"... and in fact they aren't the only progeny of the ancient Germanic tribes... As already said, these areas were a long time staying close together. This collective root explains the same (in Germany there are some dialects, too) language. German is the official language.

What is the telephone country code for Austria?

Asked by LincMad

Austria is country code +43. Note that you must omit the trunk prefix 0 from the Austrian number when calling internationally. For example, Vienna's area code 01 becomes +43 1.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Asked by Wiki User

Austria is a beautiful country with Austria is a beautiful country with lots of nature, very good food and a special mentality of the people. Although this does not always have to be positive, the typical Austrian is an opportunist. Outwardly cosmopolitan, often traditional and intrinsically inward. A saying goes that Austria is a country that loves change as long as everything stays as it is. Due to its geographical location in the heart of Europe, Austria has always played a central role. Even today, as a very small country, Austria is still considered a western bridge to the East.

How is Austria Wealthy?

Asked by Wiki User

The Republic of Austria (Austria's official designation) is amongst the richest countries of the world (currently ranked number 12 in terms of GDP), because of its high overall level of development and its geographical location.

Austria's economy is a so-called social market economy with a well-developed industry and strong Labour movements. It heavily benefits from its membership in the European Union and its proximity to Germany (a large, highly developed and economically strong country).

As a popular destination for tourists from all over the globe, Austria creates a fairly large share of its revenue from the tourism and hospitality sector.

Austria's education system and its high academic standard (especially in regard to tertiary education) is another factor for the country's good overall economic situation (as a certain level of quality in education ensures a certain level of quality in professional activity).

In addition to the above-mentioned, it is the country's well developed social system, which ensures support for the portion of the population below a certain level of income and almost free access to schools and hospitals for the general population, which contributes to Austria's wealth.

As a highly developed and effective social system can serve as a kind of safety net for the population, which increases the chance of individuals to re-establish themselves within society after dropping out the of latter (in other words: it is easier for people, who have lost their jobs or who have become homeless to reverse this negative development and to restart).

This helps to battle poverty, to prevent social unrest and to counteract unemployment within the country and ensures a better social and also economic climate.
