While many celebrate Christmas with family, countless workers across Austria ensure the country keeps running smoothly.

From railway staff like Saphira U.

in Vienna, who helps travelers on Christmas Eve, to Annelies Scherl and Tobias Mitterbauer in Tirol, who adjust their celebrations around their shifts, these individuals prioritize public service.

In hospitals, police stations, and fire departments, professionals remain on duty, ready to respond to emergencies.

Markus Pruckner and his colleagues at ÖBB in St.

Pölten even share festive meals during quieter moments.

Their dedication allows others to enjoy the holidays without worry.

These unsung heroes remind us of the teamwork and sacrifice that keep society functioning, even on the most cherished days.
