A legislative snap election for the National Council in Austria was held on 28 September 2008.
 The previous election was held on 1 October 2006.
 The election (the 24th in Austrian history) was caused by the withdrawal of Austrian People's Party leader Wilhelm Molterer from the governing grand coalition (led by the Social Democratic Party of Austria) on 7 July 2008.
 Due to dissatisfaction with the grand coalition and the two main parties, it was widely expected to be a realigning election, with gains for the opposition and up to seven parties expected to be in the National Council after the election.
 The losses for the government parties (both the SPÖ and the ÖVP had the worst election result in history) resulted in strong gains for the far right, while neither the Liberal Forum nor the Citizens' Forum Austria (both of which were considered to have chances of gaining seats) gained as much as 2% of the vote, defying earlier expectations.
 The result of the election was seen as strong for the far-right and in support of Eurosceptics.
The Tux Alps (German: "Tuxer Alpen" ) or Tux Prealps ("Tuxer Voralpen") are a sub-group of the Austrian Central Alps, which in turn form part of the Eastern Alps within Central Europe.
 They are located entirely within the Austrian federal state of Tyrol.
 The Tux Alps are one of three mountain ranges that form an Alpine backdrop to the city of Innsbruck.
 Their highest peak is the Lizumer Reckner,  m (AA) , which rises between the glen of Wattentaler Lizum and the valley of the Navisbach.
 Their name is derived from the village of Tux which is tucked away in a side valley of the Zillertal.
The Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (de: "Wirtschaftskammer Österreich" or WKÖ) coordinates and represents the interests of the Austrian business community on a national and international level.
 Within the Austrian Economic Chambers’ system it functions as the national umbrella organization for the nine State Chambers (one in each of Austria's federal State or Bundesland) and 110 trade associations for different industries.
 Most State Chambers and associations have local offices to provide services in close proximity to members.
 The Presiding Committee of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber consists of President Christoph Leitl, the Vice Presidents Richard Schenz, Martha Schultz, Matthias Krenn, Christoph Matznetter, Ulrike Rabmer-Koller and Jürgen Roth, Secretary General Anna Maria Hochhauser and Deputy Secretary General Herwig Höllinger.
Wilhelm Molterer (born 14 May 1955 in Steyr) is Vice-President and member of the Management Committee of the European Investment Bank (EIB).
 Before joining the EIB, he was Member of the Austrian Parliament.
 He has been Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister of Austria and chairman of the conservative Austrian People's Party.
The Schlieferspitze is a mountain,  m (AA) , on the ridge known as the "Krimmler Kamm" in the Venediger Group of the Alps.
 The ridge lies in the northwest of the High Tauern, part of the Austrian Central Alps in the Austrian federal state of Salzburg.
 The summit is the highest on the "Krimmler Kamm" and is described in the sources as one of the most attractive peaks in the Venediger Group.
 From the valleys of the Krimmler Achental to the southwest and the Obersulzbachtal to the northeast it appears as an extremely dominant mountain.
 Long and evenly formed arêtes, about two kilometres long, run from the summit to the northwest, northeast, southeast and southwest.
 The mountain was first ascended on 22 August 1871 by Eduard Richter, professor of geography at the University of Graz, and Johann Stüdl, a merchant from Prague and co-founder of the German Alpine Club.
Bruckneudorf (Hungarian: "Királyhida" ) is a small town in the district of Neusiedl am See in the federal state of Burgenland in Austria, neighbouring Bruck an der Leitha ("Leitha Bridge").
 Its name means "bridge new village", whereas the Hungarian version means "royal bridge", and the "royal" refers to King Francis I.
 Historically and geographically, Bruckneudorf represents the extension of the Austrian town of Bruck an der Leitha over the Austrian border into Hungary.
 This border, symbolised by the river Leitha, separated the Austrian Empire from the Kingdom of Hungary ("Cisleithania" and "Transleithania").
 Its main current national significance derives from the Bruckneudorf military exercise ground of the Austrian federal army.
 Currently it is also the site of Bruck an der Leitha railway station, an important railway station near the borders with Hungary and Slovakia, a stop for nearly all the international trains that pass through it.
Linz Hauptbahnhof or Linz Central Station is a railway station in Linz, the third largest city in Austria, and capital city of the federal state of Upper Austria.
 Opened in 1858, the station is the centrepiece of the Linz transport hub.
 It forms part of the Western Railway, and is also a terminus of the Pyhrn Railway, the Summerauer Railway, and the Linzer Lokalbahn (LILO).
 The station is owned by the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB); train services are operated by the ÖBB and the LILO.
 With over 30,000 travellers per day, it is one of the busiest through stations in Austria.
Landesstraßen (singular: Landesstraße) are roads in Germany and Austria that are, as a rule, the responsibility of the respective German or Austrian federal state.
 The term may therefore be translated as "state road".
 They are roads that cross the boundary of a rural or urban district ("Landkreis" or "Kreisfreie Stadt").
 A "Landesstraße" is thus less important than a "Bundesstraße" or federal road, but more significant than a "Kreisstraße" or district road.
 The classification of a road as a "Landesstraße" is a legal matter ("Widmung").
 In the free states of Bavaria and Saxony – but not, however, in the Free State of Thuringia – "Landesstraßen" are known as "Staatsstraßen".
Steyr (] ) is a statutory city, located in the Austrian federal state of Upper Austria.
 It is the administrative capital, though not part of Steyr-Land District.
 Steyr is Austria's 12th most populated town and the 3rd largest town in Upper Austria.
The Bavaria was an express train that linked München Hbf in Munich, Germany, with Zürich HB in Zurich, Switzerland.
 Introduced in the 1950s, it ran through to Geneva (Cornavin station) until 1969, when it was cut back to Zurich.
 The train was named on the basis that "Bavaria" is the Latin equivalent to the German word "Bayern", the official name of the federal state of Bavaria, of which Munich is the capital.
 It was operated by the Deutsche Bundesbahn / Deutsche Bahn (DB) and the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB-CFF-FFS).
 The route also included a single stop in Austria, at Bregenz.
 The 24 km section between Lindau, Germany, and St. Margrethen, Switzerland, is located mostly in Austria, but Swiss locomotives hauled the train over this section, most of which is part of the Vorarlberg line of Austrian Federal Railways.
