Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 See Tagsatzung for the meaning in historical Switzerland. Vorort is a German language German term that could be considered roughly equivalent to a suburb . Vororte usually have their own business centre. They are the remainders of formerly separate neighbour towns, or have been founded as satellite town s. The term is contrasted with Vorstadt , which describes a more densely populated area grown at the outline of a city centre. Vienna In Vienna , the historical terms Vorst dte and Vororte have very specific meanings. The Vorst dte were located outside the city walls, but within the Linienwall , a second ring of fortifications outside the city. The city walls were located in the place of the modern Ringstra e , while the Linienwall has been removed to give way to the G rtel both being rings of streets around the central city . All of the historical municipalities were merged into Vienna during the late 19th century.

Born to a Jewish family, he lost his job after the Germans invaded Austria. Bronner fled from occupied Austria to Czechoslovakia and later to Palestine , where he started his career. In 1948 he returned to Vienna and originally planned to stay only for a few weeks and then to move on to London . But he chose Vienna as his permanent residence after having been offered a chance to work there. Bronner took over a dubious night club called Marietta Bar which he transformed into a small theater. There Bronner assembled a group of young artists which would later become renowned Austrian actors and cabaret artists. Among them were Georg Kreisler and Helmut Qualtinger for whom Bronner wrote many songs. Bronner and Qualtinger also appeared together in the Travnicek dialogs, with Qualtinger playing an ignorant but at the same time astute Viennese who cunningly answered Bronner s provoking questions. In the mid 1980s, disheartened by his country s sharp turn to the right and dismayed by the anti Semitism he felt was becoming more prevalent there, Bronner moved to the United States, and lived in Boca Raton, Florida. Suddenly free from the demands of celebrity, he began to relax and enjoy the more casual American lifestyle. An avid collector of movies, his Florida home contained more than 8,000 titles, some rare. Bronner continued to compose and write, and frequently visited Vienna to do concerts, book tours and television appearances. After nearly 15 years in the States and after having become a naturalized American citizen an opportunity arose to return to his beloved Vienna, where he was asked to run a small independent ...
