Your Event at the Spanish Riding School YOUR EVENT AT THE SPANISH RIDING SCHOOL SPANISH RIDING SCHOOL FEDERAL STUD PIBER www.srs.at YOUR EVENT UNIQUE EVENTS AT THE SPANISH RIDING SCHOOL STALLBURG The Stallburg is one of the oldest parts of the imperial Hofburg palace and one of the most significant Renaissance buildings in Vienna. The beautiful arcade court of the imperial stables is a great event location in the heart of Vienna from April to October – due to mobile roofing – and has room for up to 560 people. BAROQUE WINTER RIDING SCHOOL Emperor Charles VI. commissioned architect Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach with the construction of the magnificent Winter Riding School, which was finished after only six years of construction time in 1735. The hall is considered to be the most beautiful riding are- na in the world. The late baroque architecture, the beautiful stucco, three floors with seats and the imperial box of the Habsburg family provide an amazing backdrop for events with up to 1.200 guests, all year round. WINTER RIDING SCHOOL The Winter Riding School was constructed between 1729 and 1735 by Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach. From the outside, the building forms part of the impressive Hofburg-semicircular at the Michaeler- platz and, at the same time, it frames the Josephplatz square, together with the National Library and the Redoutensaele. The riding hall itself measures 56 meters in length, 17 meters in width, and 17 meters in height. 52 composite columns on the first gallery support the second gallery and lead to an allegorically deco- rated loggia. The ivory-coloured, coffered ceiling is free-hanging and a masterpiece of carpentry. The only painting in the riding hall, which was also used for dan- ces, masquerades and carousels at court, is an equestrian portrait of Emperor Charles VI.

  • Historic Centre of Vienna
    WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 1033.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND THE NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Historic Centre of Vienna DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 16th December 2001 STATE PARTY: AUSTRIA CRITERIA: C (ii)(iv)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 25th Session of the World Heritage Committee The Committee inscribed the Historic Centre of Vienna on the World Heritage List under criteria (ii), (iv), and (vi): Criterion (ii): The urban and architectural qualities of the Historic Centre of Vienna bear outstanding witness to a continuing interchange of values throughout the second millennium. Criterion (iv): Three key periods of European cultural and political development - the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit - are exceptionally well illustrated by the urban and architectural heritage of the Historic Centre of Vienna. Criterion (vi): Since the 16th century Vienna has been universally acknowledged to be the musical capital of Europe. While taking note of the efforts already made for the protection of the historic town of Vienna, the Committee recommended that the State Party undertake the necessary measures to review the height and volume of the proposed new development near the Stadtpark, east of the Ringstrasse, so as not to impair the visual integrity of the historic town. Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.

  • Parliament in Its Temporary Accommodation SANIERUNG PARLAMENT at the Centre of the Republic
    Parliament in its temporary accommodation SANIERUNG PARLAMENT At the centre of the Republic In summer 2017 the time had arrived: Parliament moved to the Hof- burg Palace and thus made way for the refurbishment of the histori- cal building on the well-known Ringstraße boulevard in Vienna. This meant that the area around the Hofburg Palace would be the main setting for parliamentary activities in the coming years. The National Council (the first chamber of Parliament) and the Federal Council (the second chamber) are now meeting in the Große Redoutensaal (Grand Ballroom) of the Palace, which has been converted for this purpose. The decision on the location of the temporary premises also has great symbolic significance: Parliament’s presence in the very centre of the capital and the Republic is a statement about its importance and ensures the heart of democracy in Austria remains visible and also accessible to the population during the period of the renovation work.

    SELECTION OF THE COLLECTIONS AT THE HOFBURG SITE Exhibit and press photos KHM-Museumsverband Imperial Treasury Vienna The Crown of Emperor Rudolf II, subsequently the Crown of the Austrian Empire Jan Vermeyen Prague, 1602 © KHM-Museumsverband As the Crown of the Holy Roman Empire was used exclusively for coronation ceremonies, emperors and kings commissioned their own personal crowns. This personal crown was commissioned by Emperor Rudolf II. The goldsmith Jan Vermeyen crafted an object of exquisite quality at his Prague workshop. When Francis I proclaimed the Empire of Austria in 1804, the Rudolfine ‘house crown’ acquired a new constitutional function as the new Austrian Imperial Crown. KHM-Museumsverband Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna – Picture Gallery Family of Emperor Maximilian I (1459–1519) Bernhard Strigel after 1515 © KHM-Museumsverband The painting commemorates the First Congress of Vienna in 1515 and the resulting union between the Habsburgs and the Jagiellonian royal family. It depicts Emperor Maximilian I and his first spouse, Mary, Duchess of Burgundy, with their son Philip between them: in the foreground, Maximilian’s grandchildren, the later emperors Charles V (centre), and Ferdinand I (left), and Louis (right), heir to the kingdoms of Hungary and Bohemia. KHM-Museumsverband Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna – Imperial Armoury Ceremonial sword of Emperor Frederick III (IV), son of Ernest, Duke of Austria between 1440 and 1452 © KHM-Museumsverband The attribution of this ceremonial sword to Emperor Frederick III arises out of the Austrian red-white-red coat of arms and the Roman-German royal coat of arms, both of which feature on the blade. The German royal eagle situates the timeframe within which the sword must have been made.
