The Danube issue also played a role in the next Hungarian election in which the former Communists lost and a new generation of centrist young liberals took over the government in coalition with the agrarian party.

 Metroactive Movies | 'The Ister'
The Ister, an Australian documentary screening March 10 at the Rafael, uses Heidegger's 1942 lecture course on the 18th-century German lyrical poet Friedrich Hölderlin as an inspiration to journey up the Danube to the sometimes dark heart of European civilization and human existence in general, fascistic warts and all.
Heidegger enthusiastically lectured on Hölderlin, saying that "Poetry is the establishment of Being by means of the word." And, as with Nietzsche, Hölderlin's work was embraced by the Third Reich (although, ironically, the hero in his poem "Hyperion" left his home country because of its despotism).
Part documentary, part philosophical treatise, The Ister slowly travels the Danube's length, using the artifacts of humanity's imposition on the earth to underscore Heidegger's most basic philosophical tenets concerning our necessary destruction of nature.

 Strauss Blue Danube
With regards to the placement of the Danube within Vienna, it actually used to be much closer to the middle of the city.
This was fine for a few centuries, but the cultural boom in the 18th century and into the 19th brought more buildings closer to the river, which only made for a very bad situation whenever there was a large amount of rain or snow in a season.
They used a system of dams and locks and such, and over the course of the second half of the 19th century moved the Danube from its original curve to the straight line further from the center of town than it is today.
