In Joseph Roth's novel Die Kapuzinergruft, a Polish count bemoans the fate of a chestnut seller. “He is only a chestnut roaster, but he is quite symbolic. Symbolic for the old Monarchy. This gentleman once sold his chestnuts everywhere, through half of Europe one might say. And everywhere where his roasted chestnuts were eaten was Austria, and the Emperor Franz Joseph reigned. Now there is no chestnut without a visa.”

对抗世界：帝国的崩溃与两次世界大战之间的奥地利全球化

在约瑟夫·罗斯（Joseph Roth）的小说《卡普齐纳格鲁夫特》（Die Kapuzinergruft）中，波兰人的count头掩盖了栗子卖家的命运。“他只是个栗子烘烤机，但他很有象征意义。旧君主制的象征。这位先生可能曾经说过，他的栗子曾经到过欧洲的一半出售。到了他吃烤栗子的地方都是奥地利，弗朗兹·约瑟夫皇帝在位。现在没有签证就没有板栗了。”
