In Vienna the doctors in Ferdinand's court were jealous, and they did not welcome Paracelsus. Within the city however, Paracelsus was more welcome and he had a lengthy stay. There are several legends that arise from the "Altstadt" (old town) district. Much of this district has been renovated, but this photo down Hafnersteig portrays an atmosphere that must have existed then.
