Vienna Architecture Guide 2020 WHAT Architect WHERE Notes Zone 1: Innere Stadt Built in 1906 as the headquarters of the Österreichische Postsparkasse (P.S.K.) bank, formerly the k.k. Postsparcassen-Amt (Imperial-Royal Postal Savings Office). The building is regarded as an important early work of modern architecture, representing Wagner's first move away from Art Nouveau and Neoclassicism. Through the Austrian Postal Haupteingang Georg *** Otto Wagner main entrance at Georg-Coch-Platz the visitor ascends a flight of Savings Bank Coch-Platz 2 stairs to the grand Kassenhalle, where customer services are located. The main hall is thus effectively on the first floor. The hall is designed like an atrium, with a large glass skylight allowing natural light to enter the heart of the building at all times. Mon-Fri (8am-3pm), Thu (8am-5.30pm) The University of Applied Arts Vienna is an arts university and institution of higher education. It was closely associated with the Österreichischen Museums für Kunst und Industrie (Imperial Royal Austrian Museum of Art and Industry, today known as the MAK). It University of Applied Oskar Kokoschka- *** was the first school of its kind on the continent. In 1941 it became Arts Vienna Platz 2, 1010 Wien an institution of higher education. Famous artists such as Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Jil Sander, Pipilotti Rist, Matteo Thun, F. Valentiny, H Markl and Stefan Sagmeister were part of the university's staff or student body. The MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art is one of the most important museums of its kind worldwide. Founded as the Imperial Royal Austrian Museum of Art and Industry in 1863, Stubenring 5 today’s museum—with its unique collection of applied arts and as a *** MAK Museum first-class address for contemporary art—can boast an incomparable identity. Fun fact: it was the first museum to acquire art work using the cryptocurrency bitcoin. General admission €12, €10 students, €5. Tue 6-10pm Wed-Sun (10am-6pm), Tue (10am-10pm) The remodelling is an edition to a pre-existing traditional Viennese building. The law firm clients, Schuppich, Sporn, Winischhofer required more space in which Coop Himmelblau went up and out. The remodelling design commenced in 1983, with the final construction concluding in late 1988. The extension consists of a 90m2 conference room beneath Office Extension in Biberstrasse + * Coop Himmelb(l)au the major wing along with additional offices and reception further into Vienna Falkestrasse the roof space, the main element being a central conference- room. The rooftop extension has been described by architectural theorist Charles Jencks as “a riotous melange of twisted and warped shapes which resembles a dead pterodactyl that has crash-landed on the roof”. Originally built in 1237 as as the Church of St. Maria Rotunda, an early Baroque parish church and minor basilica. This church was Jacopo Spacio, heavily damaged during the first siege of Vienna by the Turkish army Cipriano Biasino, ** Postgasse 4A in 1529. The choir was demolished and the nave was partly taken Dominikanerkirche Carpoforo Tencala, down. The building became more and more dilapidated during the next Antonio Canevale period. In 1631 the Dominicans started to build a new oblong church with a dome, following the plan of Jacopo Tencala. Mon-Sun (7am-7pm) Built in 1627 as a Jesuit Church. In 1703, Brother Andrea Pozzo, S.J., an architect, painter, and sculptor, and a master in the quadratura, Doktor-Ignaz-Seipel- **** Jesuitenkirche Andrea Pozzo was requested by Emperor Leopold I to redecorate the church. He Platz 1 added twin towers and reworked the façade in an early Baroque style with narrow horizontal and vertical sections. The design of the windows, narrow niches (with statues), and the small central part of the façade deviate from the Baroque style of the towers. Pozzo died unexpectedly in 1709, just before he was to move to Venice, and was buried in the church. Mon-Sun (7am-6pm) The Mozarthaus Vienna was Mozart's residence from 1784 to 1787. This building in Vienna's Old Town is his only surviving Viennese residence and is now a museum. Today the Mozarthaus presents ** Mozarthaus Vienna Domgasse 5 information about the composer in combination with historical exhibits and audio-visual installations, while the basement contains an events hall co-financed by the EU. General admission €11, €9 students. Mon-Sun (10am-7pm) Built in 1511 as the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches. Its massive south tower is its highest point and a dominant feature of the Vienna skyline. Inside the cathedral are the tombs of Prince Eugene of Savoy, commander of St. Stephen's the Imperial forces during the War of the Spanish Succession in the ***** Stephansplatz 3 Cathedral Chapel of The Cross (northwest corner of the cathedral) and of Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor. The South Tower is affectionately called ‘Steffl’ by the Viennese and is one of Vienna’s main landmarks. 343 steps lead you up to the ‘Türmerstube’, from where you will enjoy a wonderful view over the entire city. General admission €5. Mon-Sat (6am-10pm) Built in 1990 as a retail and a restaurant building. The building is considered controversial owing to its contrast with the adjacent ** Haas House Hans Hollein Stock-im-Eisen-Platz Stephansdom cathedral. At the top you can enjoy a spectacular view of St. Stephen's Cathedral at a beautiful coffee shop and restaurant. Restaurant Mon-Sun (12-3pm/6pm-12am) Built in 1693 as a Holy Trinity column after the Great Plague epidemic of 1679. In 1683, Matthias Rauchmiller was commissioned to do the marble works, but he died in 1686 and only left a few angel figures. Several new designs followed, among others by Johann Bernhard * Bestsäule Statue Matthias Rauchmüller Graben Fischer von Erlach, who designed the sculptures at the base of the column. Finally, the project management was assigned to Paul Strudel, who based his work on the concept of theatre engineer Lodovico Burnacini. Built in 1733 as a Baroque Roman Catholic parish church. The oldest church building (of which nothing remains today) dates back to the Early Middle Ages, and there is speculation that it could be the oldest church in Vienna. The design was inspired by the St. Peter's Basilica of the Vatican in Rome. Due to the confinement of available space, it Johann Lukas von was built in a very compact form, with its oval interior housing an ***** Peterskirche Petersplatz 6 Hildebrandt astonishing amount of space and rectangular attachments. The turreted dome was mainly designed by Matthias Steinl, who was also responsible for the interior decoration and the pews with their fabulous cherubic heads. The frescoes were originally painted by the famous Italian Andrea Pozzo, whose paintings were removed after his death. Mon-Sun (9am-6.30pm) Kärntner Straße is the most famous shopping street in central Vienna. It runs from the Stephansplatz out to the Wiener Staatsoper at **** Kärntner Straße Kärntner Straße Karlsplatz on the Ringstraße. The first record of Kärntner Straße is from 1257, as Strata Carintianorum, which refers to its importance as a trade route to the southern province of Carinthia. The Imperial Crypt also called the Capuchin Crypt (Kapuzinergruft) is a burial chamber beneath the Capuchin Church and monastery, founded in 1618. Since 1633, the Imperial Crypt has been the principal place of entombment for members of the House of Habsburg. The most recent Johann Aman ** Capuchin Church Tegetthoffstraße 2 entombment was in 2011. The visible 107 metal sarcophagi and five and Johann Höhne heart urns range in style from puritan plain to exuberant rococo. The official name of the church is Church of Saint Mary of the Angels, but it is commonly known in Vienna as the Capuchin Church. Mon-Sun (10am-6pm) The original objective of the two was to build a theatre for a non- noble audience that was not affected by social and political censorship and that worked in direct competition to the Imperial Burgtheater and other stages of the "official" Austria. The Wiener Stadttheater was opened in 1872. Twelve years later, in 1884, the building burnt down *** Ronacher Theatre Seilerstätte 9 completely. The ruins were purchased by a gentleman called Anton Ronacher in 1886. Therefore, the Ronacher - after being re-built in historicist style in 1888 - was re-opened as a concert- and ball venue. It was associated with a hotel and got not only electric light, but also a ball room, a conservatory and "promandes" where visitors could amble. Check performances https://www.musicalvienna.at/de/die- theater/ronacher The first church on this site is mentioned in 1217, as a "House of the Prueder of the Order of Saint John", a commandry to care and support crusaders. The current building was built in 1806 as a Roman Catholic Gothic church. The Order ran into financial trouble after the First ** Maltese Church Kärntner Str. 37 World War and in 1933 had to sell the church and the Johanneshof, and the church was given over to other uses within a historical preservation order. It was bought back in 1960 and restored in stages in 1968, 1972 and 1983-84, finishing with a general restoration in 1998. Mon-Sun (7am-6pm) Built in 1320 as a church and has been administered by the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales since 1906. A relic of Saint Anne—her right hand—is kept in a rich Baroque setting and exhibited every year on July 26. St. Anne's Church is famous for its frescos of Daniel Gran.

  • Vienna Guide
    April 22—24, 2015, Vienna, Austria Hotel Park Royal Palace Vienna Guide SIGHTSEEING Vienna is old, Vienna is new… and the sights are so varied: from the magnificent Baroque buildings to “golden” Art Nouveau to the latest architecture. And over 100 museums beckon… ALBERTINA The Albertina has the largest and most valuable graphical collection in the world, including works such as Dürer’s “Hare” and Klimt‘s studies of women. Its latest exhibition presents masterpieces of the Modern era, spanning from Monet to Picasso and Baselitz. As the largest Hapsburg residential palace, the Albertina dominates the southern tip of the Imperial Palace on one of the last remaining fortress walls in Vienna. ANKER CLOCK This clock (built 1911–14) was created by the painter and sculptor Franz von Matsch and is a typical Art Nouveau design. It forms a bridge between the two parts of the Anker Insurance Company building. In the course of 12 hours, 12 historical figures (or pairs of figures) move across the bridge. Every day at noon, the figures parade, each accompanied by music from its era. AUGARTEN PORCELAIN MANUFacTORY Founded in 1718, the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory is the second-oldest in Europe. Now as then, porcelain continues to be made and painted by hand. Each piece is thus unique. A tour of the manufactory in the former imperial pleasure palace at Augarten gives visitors an idea of how much love for detail goes into the making of each individual piece. The designs of Augarten have been created in cooperation with notable artists since the manufactory was established.

    Geomarketing News GfK releases 2019 purchasing power for Austria May 8, 2019 and Switzerland Thomas Muranyi Public Relations T +49 7251 9295 280 Regionalized GfK purchasing power data for Austria, Germany [email protected] and Switzerland Bruchsal, Germany, May 8, 2019 – According to GfK’s latest study, the Swiss have a 2019 per capita purchasing power of €42,067, signifi- cantly outpacing the Austrians (€24,067) and Germans (€23,779). But there are substantial regional differences within and between these countries with respect to available net income. According to GfK’s prognosis, Switzerland’s almost 8.5 million inhabitants have a total purchasing power of €356.9 billion in 2019 (excludes Liechten- stein). Austria’s approximately 8.8 million inhabitants have around €212.3 billion at their disposal in 2019, while Germany’s approximately 82.8 million inhabitants have €1,968.7 billion. Purchasing power is a measure of the nominal net income available to the population, including government subsidies such as unemployment assis- tance, child benefit and pension contributions. The population uses these funds for consumer purchases as well as expenditures related to accom- modation, recreation and savings.

  • The Funerals of the Habsburg Emperors in the Eighteenth Century
    The Funerals of the Habsburg Emperors In the Eighteenth Century MARK HENGERER 1. Introduction The dassic interpretation of the eighteenth century as aperiod of transition-from sacred kingship to secular state, from a divine-right monarchy to enlightened absolutism, from religion to reason-neglects, so the editor of this volume suggests, aspects of the continuing impact of religion on European royal culture during this period, and ignores the fact that secularization does not necessarily mean desacralization. If we take this point of view, the complex relationship between monarchy and religion, such as appears in funerals, needs to be revisited. We still lack a comparative and detailed study of Habsburg funerals throughout the entire eighteenth century. Although the funerals of the emperors in general have been the subject of a great deal of research, most historians have concentrated either on funerals of individual ruIers before 1700, or on shorter periods within the eighteenth century.l Consequently, the general view I owe debts of gratitude to MeJana Heinss Marte! and Derek Beales for their romments on an earlier version ofthis essay, and to ThomasJust fi'om the Haus-, Hof­ und Staatsarchiv, Vienna, for unbureaucratic access to the relevant source material. I Most attention has heen paid to Emperor Maximilian 1.
