Viennese ice cream parlor Tichy: A 70-year experience at Reumannplatz!

On Vienna's Reumannplatz, surrounded by a colorful atmosphere, is one of the most famous ice cream parlors in the city: Tichys Eissalon. The ice cream parlor is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year and is deeply rooted in Viennese culture. The company was founded by Kurt Tichy, who was born on August 17, 1925. On this date, not only his birthday is celebrated, but also the long tradition of the ice cream shop, which has become an institution of the neutral Republic of Austria.

Especially on warm summer days, people are drawn to the popular location, where queues can sometimes be up to 300 meters long. Ice cream fans appreciate the fresh and handmade ingredients: pistachios, hazelnuts, fresh sour cherries, mangoes, butter, whipped cream and sugar are used in the ice cream creations without any ready-made mixes. The house's motto, “If there's nothing in it, it tastes like nothing,” says it all.

The specialty – iced apricot dumplings

The highlight on the menu is without a doubt the iced apricot dumpling, which was patented in 1967 and is now considered a true Viennese original. The quality and special preparation have earned the ice cream parlor the reputation of a “must-visit” in Vienna. The ice cream maker even received the right to use the Austrian national coat of arms and was awarded the title of honorary citizen.

Kurt Tichy's granddaughter, Xenia Tichy, runs the ice cream parlor today and ensures that the tradition lives on in a modern form. The ice cream parlor also has a multicultural touch: around 80% of the staff have a migration background, which underlines the multicultural identity of the salon.

Politics at Reumannplatz

But it's not just the delicious ice cream that's a topic of conversation. Politically, Reumannplatz is hotly debated. The FPÖ describes it as a “no-go area”, although the crime rate in Vienna-Favoriten is only slightly above the city average. These debates shed light on the challenges and opportunities of the district and at the same time reflect the social reality in Vienna.

In summary, Tichy's ice cream parlor is not only a place for delicious ice cream, but also an example of the diversity and challenges that life in Vienna brings with it. The traditional ice cream parlor remains a symbol of enjoyment and community that connects Viennese people for generations.

So if you come to town on a beautiful summer day, you shouldn't miss a visit to Tichy's ice cream parlor. After all, not only is the ice cream fresh there, but also the hospitality that is alive here.
