Ball der Wiener Kaffeesieder

September 2009
Chers Confrères, Chères Consoeurs !
It is with the greatest pleasure that the Vienna Bailliage of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs
requests the pleasure of your company on Friday, February 5th, 2010 for the 53rd annual
Ball der Wiener Kaffeesieder
The Cafehaus Owner’s Ball
Come dance the night away at the magnificent Hofburg Imperial Palace! The Vienna
Chaîne des Rôtisseurs has secured 100 entrance tickets and exclusive table seating for the
prestigious Ball der Kaffeesieder. In 1773, Emperor Joseph II made the Hofburg Palace
ballrooms available for public balls which started the tradition of the Vienna ball season.
Join us for this event, and for one magic evening, live the historic tradition of Imperial
Viennese elegance.
As in the days of Emperor Joseph II, the demand for the tickets is always greater than the
supply. Therefore, to guarantee your place, we kindly ask you to register by email, mail
or fax as soon as possible. The deadline is November 30th, 2009. See attached
registration forms.
On behalf of the entire Vienna Bailliage, we wish you a “herzlich willkommen in Wien” !
Best regards and Vive La Chaîne!
Mr. Uwe Schehl, Bailli de Vienne
Mr. Franz Zodl, Vice Chargé de
Missions de Vienne
