| |
| Fiaker, Viennese term for a two-horse, numbered
hackney carriage, as opposed to the earlier, unnumbered carriages
called "Janschky-Wagen" and one-horse "Comfortables"); "fiaker" also
refers to the carriage driver. The term "fiaker" became a standard
name for this type of carriage almost thirty years after the first
fiaker was licensed (1693), and was adopted from the type of
horse-drawn hackney carriages in Paris run by an innkeeper who lived
in the Rue de Saint Fiacre in 1662. Around 1790 there were
approximately 700 in Vienna, in their heyday between 1860-1908 there
were over 1,000 fiakers. The carriage drivers were often local
eccentrics, who sometimes publicly performed as whistlers or
untrained singers. The annual Fiaker Ball held on Ash Wednesday also
became famous and the chanteuse "Fiakermilli" was immortalised by R.
Strauss in his opera "Arabella". In 1997 there were approximately
100 fiakers available for tours around the city for tourists. In
1984 women began driving fiakers as well. Since 1998 a special
fiaker driving license has been required. Vienna's 17th district is
home to a fiaker museum. |
