The 1930s, one of Austria’s most successful eras brought two Mitropa Cup titles, a predecessor of today’s UEFA Champions League (1933, 1936).

After the Anschluss and throughout the period of Nazi domination of the country (1938–1945) most of the club’s officials and some players with Jewish heritage, had to flee or were murdered by the Nazi regime. The ( German: "link-up" also known as the, was the 1938 Annexation of Austria into Greater Germany by the Nazi Nazism, which was a short name for National Socialism (Nationalsozialismus refers primarily to the Ideology and practices of the National Socialist German Star player Sindelar died under unresolved circumstances on January 23, 1939 of carbon monoxide poisoning in his apartment.

Even though the team did not have any success in this period, they managed a much more important victory in keeping the name "Austria" despite attempts by Nazi sports authorities to rename the club.
Post World War II
Post World War II a new successful era began with Austria winning national championship titles in 1949, 1950, 1953 and 1961 – 63 as well as 1969. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including
The 1960s marked the beginning of a golden period for FK Austria Wien, a run of 16 titles in 33 seasons between 1960 and 1993. The decade began with three titles in a row (1961, 1962 and 1963) and ended with two more (1969, 1970) under the management of Ernst Ocwirk. Stars of the 1960s included:
- Horst Nemec, a fine centre-forward rated by some at the time as one of Europe's best
- Ernst Fiala, another fine attacker and inspirational team leader
- Johann Geyer, a cultured yet hard-working midfield schemer
- Horst Hirnschrodt, who played mainly on the right flank
Glorious Era in Competition and European Cup
The 1970s saw the beginning of another glorious era. Between 1970 and 1975 the club was in a difficult phase. After a bad season 1974-1975 (goal difference +7) with a somewhat ageing team, the Violets began to build a young squad with average age 23 years, season 1975-1976. All squads in the 5 seasons 1975-1976 till 1979-1980 had an average age of about 23 years at the start of the seasons. The eleven seasons 1975-1976 till 1985-1986 Austria Wien won 8 national championship titles (1975-1976; 1977-1978, 1978-1979, 1979-1980, 1980-1981; 1983-1984, 1984-1985, 1985-1986, respective goal differences: +48; +43, +44, +45, +31; +56, +68, +71). After winning the national Cup, season 1976-1977, Austria Wien played the European Cup II-final (1977-1978), which it lost 4-0 against Rob Rensenbrink's Anderlecht (May 3rd 1978), the semi finals of the European Cup I (Champions Cup) were reached season 1978-1979.

1990s
In the beginning of the 90s, FK Austria enjoyed its so far last successful era: three championship titles (seasons 1990-1991, 1991-1992, 1992-1993; but less brilliant goal differences (+39, +37, +46) than the seasons 1983-1984, 1984-1985, 1985-1986 (+56, +68, +71)), three cup titles (seasons 1989-1990, 1991-1992, 1993-1994) as well as four Super cup titles (Austrian national champion vs. Cup winner) (1991, 1992, 1993, 1994) were won. Internationally there were no successes. The era 1995-2002 in the championships Austria Wien finished at the midst of the table only. The 3 seasons 1996-1997, 1997-1998, 1998-1999 the goal differences had even been negative (-10, -15, -3). Apart from this there had been money problems, which stopped the club from keeping star-players.
Frank Stronach and the new millennium from 1999 - today
After a period without any title (last title season 1992-1993), Austria Wien was taken over by billionaire Frank Stronach of the Magna concern in 1999, the name of the club changing into FK Austria Memphis Magna. Frank H Stronach, CM (born September 6, 1932 as Franz Strohsack) is an Austrian Canadian businessman He invested much money into the club, buying many top players, so they won the title again in the season 2002-2003 (36 matches, goal difference +31), after a very good start of the season (12 matches, goal difference +19). Despite this coach and ex-player Walter Schachner was fired. Walter "Schoko" Schachner (born February 1 1957 in Leoben, Austria) is a football manager and former Austrian national His successor Christoph Daum produced weaker results (24 matches, goal difference +12), yet Austria won the national Cup. Christoph Daum (born October 24, 1953 in Zwickau) is a German football coach Austia Wien had a three times higher budget than the average league club (as of 2007 Red Bull Salzburg has the highest budget in the Austrian Bundesliga). In 2004 the name Memphis was deleted. Austria was known for their very fancy and creative style of playing football which on the downside has frequently led to unnecessary losses and unnecessary draws and makes the team somewhat unpredictable. In the spectacular 2004/05 season the team reached the quarter final of the UEFA Cup, in which the Italian team Parma FC proved to be the better club by eliminating Austria on away goals (1:1, 0:0); in the league Austria finished only 3rd, however, the team wasn't considered weak (goal difference +40 (64-24))! On the 21st of November 2005, Frank Stonach decided to resigne from his post. As a result several players like topscorer Roland Linz, Vladimír Janočko, Joey Didulica, Libor Sionko, Filip Šebo and Sigurd Rushfeldt were transferred or signed contracts for other teams in the summer 2006. Roland Linz (born August 9, 1981 in Leoben, Styria) is an Austrian football forward who currently plays for Sporting Vladimír Janočko (born December 2, 1976) is a Slovak Football (soccer Midfielder. Joseph Anthony Didulica (born 14 October 1977) is a Croatian Australian association football (soccer Goalkeeper, better known Libor Sionko (born February 1 1977 in Ostrava) is a Czech footballer currently playing for Danish Superliga club F Filip Šebo (born February 25, 1984 in Bratislava, then Czechoslovakia) is a Slovak footballer currently playing for Sigurd Rushfeldt (born December 11 1972 in Vadsø) is a Norwegian football player who currently plays for Tromsø IL. The highly successful 2005-2006 season concluded with the league championship (although with a goal difference of +18 (51-33)), and the national Cup against Mattersburg (3-0) under Austria's belt!
The season 2006-2007 seemed to result in a small disaster as the team found it difficult to cope with their significantly reduced budget and resulting loss of most of their key players. Mattersburg (formerly Mattersdorf, Nagymarton Croatian: Materštof) is a town in Burgenland, Austria. After losing 1-4 on aggregate from Benfica in the preliminary round of the Champions League, the team managed to qualify (against Legia Warsaw winning 2-1 on aggregate) for the Group Phase of the UEFA Cup-tournament, but the 1st match was lost 1-4 at home to Zulte Waregem (Belgium). Sport Lisboa e Benfica (spɔɾ liʒˈboɐ i bɐ̃ĩˈfikɐ commonly referred to as simply Benfica, S Legia Warszawa ( pron ˈlɛgʲa varˈʂava Leg-ya Var-sha-va) is a Polish professional football club based in Warsaw SV Zulte Waregem is a Belgian football club based in Waregem, West Flanders. Thomas Parits (ex-player Austria Wien 1964-1970, 1977-1979 and ex-coach Austria Wien 1984-1985) became the new general manager and after losing 3 days later 4-0 away to Salzburg (firing of manager and ex-player Peter Stoger and Dutch coach and ex-football-player Fred Schinkels), Georg Zellhofer became the new coach. Peter Stöger (born April 11, 1966 in Vienna) is a retired Austrian football player In the Group Phase of the UEFA Cup-tournament Austria Wien collected 0 points (goal difference -8 (1-9)), in the entire European Cup-tournament a goal difference of -10 (4-14)! In the league championship things also went completely wrong as the possibility existed that Austria could relegate for the 1st time in history (however, only through mid season). After 21 rounds the club ranked at the bottom of the table (10th, Budesliga). After the winter break Austria managed to finish 6th (midst of the table, goal difference 0 (43-43) in 36 rounds), yet they won the Austrian National Cup, the ÖFB-Stiegl-Cup. The 1st half of the 2007-2008 season had been a good one as Austria was top of the Bundesliga in week 7 and from weeks 9 through 21. However, performances were not always impressive (round 10 till round 23: 14 rounds, goal difference 0) and Austria dropped to the 3rd position in the league table just before winter break (three-way tie for top at 36 points, goal differential +8). In the UEFA Cup-tournament Austria didn't perform much better than in the 2006-2007 season. Indeed the two qualification rounds (4 matches) had been successful: goal difference +3 (9-6), but in the Group Phase things went wrong again: 4 matches only yielded 1 point and a goal difference of -5 (1-6) (elimination). Total goal difference this tournament had not been that bad as in 2006-2007: -2 (10-12).
History in Europe
The 1930s, one of Austria’s most successful eras brought two Mitropa Cup titles, a predecessor of today’s UEFA Champions League (1933, 1936). During this time world class players like Matthias Sindelar wore the violet jersey.
