A small city with an outsized 20th-century shadow. Vienna's notables cluster sharply in the late Habsburg and interwar decades — authors, composers, architects, academics, painters of the Secession, and sculptors — making it one of the most concentrated cultural booms anywhere in the dataset. Then 1938 happens, and a striking number of the brightest names spend the rest of their lives somewhere else.
