Vienna Mozartverkäufer challenge city center ban at Constitutional Court

Two companies affected by Vienna's ban on Mozartverkäufer (street vendors selling Mozart-themed souvenirs) in the city center, in effect since July, are filing a challenge with Austria's Constitutional Court. The legal action contests the city's regulatory authority and could set a precedent for street-vending restrictions in historic districts. The outcome is uncertain, but the case tests municipal powers against commercial rights.
