A completely false construction site announcement to convert the Vienna belt into a car-free paradise was distributed throughout the entire Währing district. Everything points to a frustrated Viennese as the perpetrator. The city has not yet decided how it will deal with this.
Everything was right with the “official” announcement, down to details such as fonts, logos and the typical project visualizations – and yet “Krone” reader Paul Pichler was amazed by the fact that from December the band “moved from the intersection of Währinger Straße to the intersection of Jörgerstraße “must be rebuilt and converted into a meeting space”. Surely you had read something about that in the newspaper beforehand? Yes, that would be possible.
Puzzles about motifs
The town hall also quickly confirmed that the construction site information distributed throughout the area was fake: no trees will be planted on the Belt, no cycle path will be widened and no meeting places will be created. The false construction site information was also spread online and even received some support there. Others believed this was intended to increase motorists’ anger against the city or climate activists.
Neighbors are probably the perpetrators
Who is really responsible for the hoax is unknown. The ‘perpetrator profile’ indicates someone in the area who, firstly, is quite good with graphic design and computers – and less well versed in grammar and spelling, as some errors prove – and secondly, wants to ‘increase the quality of life’. for the area.
The letter also refers to ‘complaints and requests from citizens’, concerns about road safety and the ‘massive exceedance of emission limits that has been going on for years’. According to the city, this is the first time such a forgery has occurred. You are considering an advertisement. After all, you can receive a maximum of six months in prison for usurping your office.
