The round looking fig resembles Dauphine, aka Grantham's Royal(would need a little more information on it). It could also be Olympia. The long brown fig is definitely English Brown Turkey. If the ID is exact, you have two excellent tasting, productive varieties!

I sent you a PM.

i have again a question: Could fig number 2 be a "Süsser Georg" or "Sweet George" . i have read that süsser georg comes from Vienna, so my fig tree is from VIenna, too.

thanks for sharing the info!

I did some research: There is only one nursery in Austria offering Süsser Georg/Sweet George. It seems like that Süsser Georg is more popular in the US than in Europe/Austria, judging Google Results.

Maybe there is a different name for that fig in Austria ? Like Kaiserebersdorfer or Hietzinger, they are all Brown Turkeys...

Round fig looks a lot like Alma.
The other does not look like my English Brown Turkey, not flat enough on bottom.
