Anchoring Script for the National Day of Austria in English

Austrian National Day

Every year on October 26, Austrians celebrate their country’s declaration of neutrality after World War II and its regained status as an independent and sovereign nation.

It was a declaration by Austrian parliament declaring the country permanently neutral; enacted on October 26, 1955, as a constitutional act. The declaration was a result of the allied occupation by the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France between 1945 and 1955. The Soviet Union would not have agreed to the signing of a State Treaty in May 1955 if Austria had not committed itself to declare its neutrality after the allied forces had left the country. The final foreign troops left Austria on 25 October 1955.

How do Austrians celebrate Austria’s National Day?

The Austrians celebrate this day each year with a series of events in Vienna:

  • The Federal President and the Federal Minister for Defense attend a Mass on the Heldenplatz
  • The Federal President followed by the Federal Government lay wreaths at the tomb of the unknown soldier in the Crypt of the outer Burgtor.
  • A festive meeting of the Council of Ministers is held.
  • The government attends a Concert for Austria at the Vienna Staatsoper and
  • Finally, the new recruits of the Austrian Armed Service are sworn in.

The citizens get offers to visit the federal museums for free. Various institutions also traditionally open their doors for the day (ie. the Federal Chancellery). Moreover, Austrians organize so-called “marches for fitness” to raise awareness among the population about the benefits of exercise and fitness. In addition, around the world, the Austrian Embassies celebrate the National Day with receptions for the Austrian citizens.
