Wien. Ihr Chauffeur.
Thirty years of service. Two generations of Schreibers. One unwavering standard.
Maximilian Schreiber spent fifteen years as a protocol officer at the Vienna International Centre, coordinating motorcades and diplomatic transport for visiting heads of state, ambassadors, and UN dignitaries. His world was one of precise timing, absolute discretion, and the understanding that a vehicle is never merely a vehicle — it is an extension of the state's hospitality.
In 1991, he founded Kaiserlich Wien with a single Mercedes 560 SEL and a contact book that read like a who's who of European diplomacy. His first private client was the Austrian ambassador to France, who required discreet transport during the Vienna Opera Ball season. That first commission set the tone for everything that followed.
From those origins, Kaiserlich Wien has grown without ever compromising the standard that Maximilian established: that every client who steps into one of our cars deserves the same care once accorded only to heads of state.
"I had spent fifteen years learning how to transport the most important people in the world. In 1991, I decided to apply that same standard to everyone."

"Vienna's cultural life is not a backdrop for us — it is our world."
Learned in the corridors of the Vienna International Centre, discretion is not a policy — it is the foundation upon which every journey is built.
When a curtain rises at the Staatsoper, it does not wait. Neither do we. Our standard is to be present before you require us — always.
From the vehicle's presentation to the chauffeur's conduct to the temperature of the cabin — every detail is considered, because every detail matters.
Three decades of diplomatic and cultural transport. A fleet worthy of Vienna. A standard that has never wavered.
