Austria is a country in Central Europe. Its population is about 8.3 million and its official language is German (Austrian German, to be precise). In some regions, Slovene, Croatian, and Hungarian are official languages too.

Austria is a largely mountainous country due to its location in the Alps. Its capital and largest city is Vienna. Vienna itself represents about a quarter of the country's population.

Austria is and was home to many great musical composers, writers and scientists, for example Sigmund Freud.

Spanking in Austria

Historically, Austria has similar spanking traditions (concerning judicial and military cp, school cp and in the home) to those of Germany and other European countries. A colloquial Austrian term for the cane (Rohrstock) is Flitschi or Stabl.

In remote rural (mountain) areas, boarding schools are not uncommon; those and Catholic schools had the reputation of being stricter than other schools.

Today, the spanking of children is illegal in Austria, both in schools and the home. Only consensual adult spanking (as in BDSM) is legal.

The biggest Austrian spanking scene is probably found in Vienna. Popular online spanking communities are often German ones, due to the same language and close proximity.

Austrian spanking artists

Austrian spanking artists include Rudolf Preuss (1879 - 1961) and Spanm.
