Discover the story of the Austrian painter Egon Schiele.
The Egon Schiele circular route offers an insight into the life and work of Egon Schiele during his time in Neulengbach. On April 11, 1912, Egon Schiele received a summons to appear as a defendant at the Neulengbach district court and was remanded in custody two days later after an interrogation lasting one and a half hours. Schiele was sentenced to three days of strict arrest on 4 May 1912 for "offending public morality and modesty" and released from custody on 7 May 1912.
The original site of the imprisonment (cell 2) and a small permanent exhibition in the cell wing of the courthouse in Neulengbach can be visited daily from 9 am to 5 pm with free admission.

We start at the parking lot, where the first sign is already visible. Along the church walls, we walk down through the forest and come out at a street intersection. Here we also already see the second sign. Then we continue on Almersbergstraße and cross the Anzbach. Just before the right turn, the third sign is already there. We follow the street further until we see the fourth sign and have the option to turn right. We follow Austraße and then turn into Egon Schiele Street. Follow this until we see the fifth sign. Then turn back and follow Egon Schiele Street to the sixth sign, which is just before a bridge. Then we continue straight ahead, up the gravel path, and then turn right. We pass by the playground and already see sign number 7. Then just straight ahead, across the street, and into the grounds where the eighth sign and the museum are located.
A public parking lot is located directly at the church square
After this educational route, you can immediately visit the Egon Schiele Museum.
