The Fiaker is a genuinely old Viennese institution. The name itself comes from Paris, where the first hired-carriage stand stood on the Rue Saint-Fiacre; Vienna issued its first official carriage license in 1693 under Emperor Leopold I, and by around 1720 these horse-drawn carriages had taken on the 'Fiaker' name and were being numbered consecutively. The trade grew steadily — from roughly 700 carriages around 1790 to more than 1,000 at its peak between 1860 and 1908 — before motor traffic gradually reduced it to the smaller, more ceremonial tradition that survives today.
That tradition is still formally regulated: the City of Vienna today licenses 26 Fiaker companies operating 152 carriage concessions with 355 horses between them, sets the prices for the classic sightseeing routes by law, and requires traditional driver dress. A dedicated driving test has been mandatory for Fiaker coachmen since 1998, and the profession's first female coachwomen appeared as recently as 1984 — a reminder that even a tradition this old keeps evolving.
Along the route, the Augustinerkirche adds its own layer of Habsburg history: built between 1330 and 1339 and consecrated in 1349, it became the imperial court's own parish church in 1634 and remained so until the monarchy ended in 1918. Behind its Loreto Chapel sits the Herzgruft, a crypt holding silver urns containing the hearts of 54 members of the Habsburg family, a tradition that began with Emperor Ferdinand IV in 1654 and continued for more than two centuries — a genuinely unusual Viennese custom to learn about while riding past in a carriage built for a very different kind of imperial occasion.
