!!!Jugendschutz

Juveniles, Protection of: Under Art. 15 of the Austrian constitution, 
the establishment of legal measures for the protection of juveniles 
and children falls under provincial jurisdiction. After historical 
forerunners, to be found in absolutism ("Policeypatente"), these have 
been laid down in provincial youth protection laws from 1922 on, with 
varying age limits: restrictions on children and juveniles being out 
without adult supervision after certain times and in certain places 
(public places, restaurants and pubs, hotels, theatres, dances open to 
the public, etc.), age restrictions on films, a ban on gambling, as 
well as restrictions on smoking and drinking alcohol in public, 
hitch-hiking, and the use of fireworks.
