Echos of the Riehl Trial in Fin-de-Siècle Cisleithania

Echos of the Riehl Trial in Fin-de-Siècle Cisleithania The trial of forty-six-year-old Regine Riehl, who was charged with embezzlement, fraud, pandering, and other crimes associated with the operation of her tolerated bordello, opened in Vienna on 2 November 1906. Residents of the imperial capital and in the wider Habsburg monarchy and beyond avidly followed the five-day trial, which incited public debate on the subject of prostitution throughout the monarchy. Indeed, prostitution became a “topic of the day,” a theme that became “salonfähig” (acceptable for good society), due to the extensive newspaper coverage of the trial. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Austrian History Yearbook Cambridge University Press

Abstract

The trial of forty-six-year-old Regine Riehl, who was charged with embezzlement, fraud, pandering, and other crimes associated with the operation of her tolerated bordello, opened in Vienna on 2 November 1906. Residents of the imperial capital and in the wider Habsburg monarchy and beyond avidly followed the five-day trial, which incited public debate on the subject of prostitution throughout the monarchy. Indeed, prostitution became a “topic of the day,” a theme that became “salonfähig” (acceptable for good society), due to the extensive newspaper coverage of the trial.
