They, like the Lower Austrian Manufacturers' Association (1840) were part of a culture that criticized Metternich's government from the city's coffeehouses, salons, and even stages, but prior to 1848 their demands had not even extended to constitutionalism or freedom of assembly, let alone republicanism.
Need, nagu ka Alam-Austria Tootjate Liit (1840), olid osa kultuurist, mis kritiseeris Metternichi valitsust linna kohvikutest, salongidest ja isegi lavadelt, kuid enne 1848. aastat nende nõudmised isegi ei laienenud konstitutsionalismile või ühingutevabadusele, veel vähem vabariiklusele.
