 General Hints on Vienna, its Suburbs, 
 
 and Environs. 
 
 (The letters and Arabic figures in parenthesis behind the biiildings or other 
 objects, indicate, where they are to be found on the annexed map of the town.) 
 
 V ienna, the great metropolis of the Austrian Em- 
 pire , is situated at the foot of the Kahleuberg*, on 
 the southern bank of the Danube, at an elevation (near 
 the gate of Mariahilf — B. 6) of 205 Metres above the 
 level of the sea, and at a distance of twenty (German) 
 miles from the Hungarian frontier. The ancient city 
 rises on a sloping plain which declines towards the 
 river and extends along one arm of the Danube called 
 the ^Vienna Canal", whilst its suburbs mostly occupy 
 a higher position. The Vieinia Canal, in conjunction 
 with another arm of the Danube called ., Kaiser wasser" 
 (imperial waters), forms an islet on which the suburb 
 „Leopoldstadt'' has its seat. 
 
 The main stream of the Danube passes Vienna at 
 a distance of half a german mile, but is actually beings 
 regulated at an expence of 25,000.000 fl. and will 
 thereby reach the town; a vast enterprise, begun in 
 1870, very worthy looking at. 
 
 The situation of Vienna, in a great valley, bet- 
 ween a northern and southern range of mountains, ren- 
 ders the town accessible to unpleasant high easterly and 
 north-easterly winds. 
 
 The most comprehensive and beautiful view of 
 Vienna is indisputably to be obtained from the top of 
 
 VIENNA.

 General Hints. 
 
 St. Stoplion's steeple, althougii surveyed from the Cupola 
 of St. Charles, the town presents greater number of 
 most picturesque groups of buildings. From the summit 
 of the ,,Wienerberg", upon which stands the monument 
 called .,Spinnerin am Kreuz" , a general view of the 
 town may likewise be obtained and, viewed from dif- 
 ferent points of the Kahk'ngcbirge, as from the Khiusc, 
 near Nussdorf, the .,Himmel'\ the ,,Krapfenwiildchen'' 
 and the „Leopoldsberg", (three heights in the vicinity 
 of (rr'ntziufi), the whole ensemble of the town may be 
 < detained to great advantage. 
 
 The circumference of the t<»wn with its surroun- 
 ding suburbs, amounts to 11). 000 Metros and is precised 
 by a wall -i Metres high and a ditch extending as fiir 
 as the Spittelau and Erdberg, where the soil at once 
 declines rapidly towards the river. 
 
 The ancient or internal City occupies as nearly as 
 possible the centre of the town and covers an area of 
 more then 2,800.000 Q Metres. It was formerly se- 
 ]»arated from the suburbs by ramparts 16 Metres high, 
 furnished with 11 bastions and a deep ditch surroun- 
 ding them. Between the latter and the suburbs lay 
 the Glacis, a vast space of open ground overgrown 
 with grass and idanted with trees, which was, in sum- 
 mer, a very pleasant place of resort for ])romeuaders, 
 nurses, and frolicking children. — These fortifi- 
 cations have been done away with since 1857, and it 
 is owing to this change, that Vienna has so recently 
 been embellished and now possesses a street, the King- 
 strasse, which, in regularity and magnificence, is cer- 
 tainly not surpassed by any other in Europe. 
 
 The Lastenstrasse forms the boundary of the town 
 with the suburbs. The latter are divided into nine di- 
 stricts, viz; I, The City; II, the Leopoldstadt ; III. the 
 
 M 
 
 
 Landstrasse; IV, the Wieden; V, Margarethen ; VI, 
 Mariahilf: VII. Neubau; VIII, the Josephstadt: IX, th*' 
 Alsergrund. Each of these districts is recognisable by 
 the special colour in which the numbers of the houses 
 it contains are painted. The respective numbers of the 
 houses run from Stephens square, with Nr. 1 to the 
 left and Nr. 2 to the right. 
 
 Of 12 old gates once belonging to the City, two 
 ..nly have remained: the Burgthor (gate of the palace) 
 <D. 5.) and the Francis-Joseph gate (Frmz-Josephsthor) 
 (E. 4.) between the two buildings of the Post-Otfice and 
 the Custom-House. 
 
 An hour's walk will easily take the stranger through 
 the entire ..Kingstrasse'' , for the city contains only 
 1300 buildings, 140 streets and 20 squares, one of 
 which the ..Hof" is the largest and measures 135 Metres 
 in leni»th by 73 Metres in breadth. The most remar> 
 kable squares besides this are: The .,lIoher Markt" 
 (High Market), the ..Josephsplatz"' (Joseph square), the 
 ..Burgplatz-' (square of the Palace), .,Neuer Markt"' (New- 
 Market), „Graben" i^ditcli,\ .,Stepliansplatz-' (Stephen's 
 square), St. Michael's square, the „Judenplatz" (Jews' 
 square), the „Freiung" etc. 
 
 Notwithstanding recent embellishments, the streets 
 of the ancient town are generally narrow, but very 
 cleanly kept. As regards public buildings in the gothic 
 style we observe the Cathedral of St. Stephen's, the 
 Minorites Church, and the Church of Maria Stiegeu, 
 which date from the middle ages; — the Church of 
 tlie Redeemer (Votiv-Kirche), the Church of the La- 
 zarists (Mariahilf suburb), the Church of St. Elizabeth 
 (Wieden suburb), and the parish church of the former- 
 ly so called suburb „Weissgarber". The construction 
 of these four churches, belongs to modern times, and

 Vienna is indebted t(» the good taste and skill of archi- 
 tect Fischer of Erlach, for the many tine hnilding-s in 
 the Italo-French style with which, nnder the reign of 
 Charles VI, lie enriched the town. After a long series 
 of years, during whirh architecture was slumbering, it 
 was at last roused out of its state of torpor and has, 
 within the last fifteen years, ]»roduced great numbers 
 of public m»>numents and edifices worthy of a large- 
 Metropolitan town. 
 
 Characteristics of the town are the manv court- 
 passages which establish shortnings between different 
 streets, so that those who are acquainted with them 
 can greatly abridge the length of their jierambulations 
 through the town. 
 
 The most fashionable, livelv and crowded streets 
 of the town are: Um Itinr/strftssc, the Gnibcn, Kohl- 
 mat'ld, Stc}>h((nxplatz, liotltcnthunustyassv, Kdrntncr- 
 strassc and adjacent streets. It is there that the finest 
 shops, the best-frequented cafes, the handsomest car- 
 riages, and the fashions of the day, are to be seen to 
 great advantage ; but it is in the Praterstrasse where, 
 especially on Sundays and holidays, the different classes 
 of the people may be seen flocking to the Pnitcr, the 
 Hydepark of Vienna, and the circulation here can fairly 
 bear comparison to the crowded thoroughfares of London 
 or Paris. 
 
 The suburbs have all been rebuilt during the two> 
 last centuries (owing to their having been burnt down 
 by the Turks during the siege of 1683); they are 
 therefore more regular and their streets generally broader 
 and straighter than those of the old city. The Neu- 
 bau, Josephstadt and the principal street of the sub- 
 urb Mariahilf deserve on that score to be noticed, and: 
 
 4i 
 
 the traveller who. entering the town, chances to drive 
 through the latter street, conceives, when he ha^? rea- 
 ched the bottom of it, a very favourable notion of the 
 general aspect of Vienna. The Palace gate stands 
 straight before him and above this is to be seen the 
 ancient Imperial Palace, the Mansion of Archduke Albert 
 and. towering up far above the roofs of the adjacent 
 buildings, the magnificent steeple of St. Stephen's Church. 
 To the West, in the background, mountains are to be 
 seen; while to the east the beautiful and imposing 
 Church of St. Oliarles closes a panorama which, after 
 dusk, is illuminated by thousands of lights. 
 
 The greatest industrial and commercial activity is 
 to be found in the three suburbs Wieden, Mariahilf and 
 Leopoldstadt. Here are to be seen vast numbers of 
 sliops and warehouses ; but it is principally in the last 
 suburb that are warehoused all goods arriving by water 
 and by the northern Railway. The weavers and spinners 
 have their seat in Mariahilf; the manufactories of shawls, 
 ribbons etc. in the Xeubau, and on both sides of the 
 Vienna Canal are the wood-yards, which supply the 
 whole town with fire-wood. 
 
 In 1598 the Vienna canal, which originates in 
 the great arm of the Danube at Nussdorf, was rendered 
 navigable by Banui Ferdinand Hoijos. II bridges estab- 
 lish the communication between the two banks of the 
 river. The principal of these are : The Brigittahriiche 
 (D. 1.); the Maria TJicrcsiabriicke. (E. 3.) a new iron 
 suspension-bridge leading to the Angarten\ the Carls- 
 brnchc, (E. 3.) a suspension-bridge for foot passengers; 
 the Fcrdinandshriicke (F. 4.), leading to the principal 
 thoroughfares in the Leopoldstadt. Between the Stu- 
 henri)ifi and Leopoldstadt is to be seen the Aspern 
 bridge (F. 4.) constructed by the engineers FiUunger 
 
 iite«(»i»afc':4ft.« 
 

 § V General Hints. 
 
 and ScJiHirch on the plan of the latter, under the 
 direction of professor llibhatuu Proceeding a little lower 
 down, the stran^^er comes to the Francis bridge (G. 3.) 
 constructeii with iron-wire: between the Landstrasse and 
 the Prater there are two other suspension-bridges lately 
 constructed, called Sopliinibrilch' (H. 5.) and Schlacht- 
 haKsbriicJce (I. 6.) and not far from the Francis bridge, 
 is to be seen a beautiful suspension-bridge 83 Metres 
 in length, which unites the Northern to the Southern 
 
 Railway. 
 
 Among the most remarkable bridges across the 
 „Wien" are to be mentioned: the iron A>iv7/6' bridge 
 (C. 7.) uniting the two suburbs Mariahilf and Marga- 
 rethen; the suspension -bridge between the suburbs 
 Mariahilf and Wieden constructed in 1830; the Leopold 
 bridge (of iron, ycrille's system, 1860) in the proxi- 
 mity of the „Wien theatre-* (1). 6); the Elizabeth bridge 
 (E. 5.), (stone) built by architect Fotstcy between the 
 years 1850 an<l 185-4, is of a beautiful and at the 
 same time massif structure. Its three arches present an 
 opening 15 Metres wide, and are suppoited by pillars 
 8-5 Metres high. Another fine stono bridge of recent 
 construction, the Schwa rzefibcrr/'Brikhr (E. 5.), is 
 thrown across the .,\Vien", and unites the squaie of 
 the same name with the streets Kennweg and Heu- 
 gasse, at the Wieden. This bridge was constructed 
 in 1865 on the plan of architect Hornbostel and i& 
 remarkable both for its solidity and the elegance of its 
 form. A very fine iron bridge has been constructed in 
 1871, the Tcgetthoff-Bniclcc (E. 5.), leading from the 
 Johannesgasse, near the Town-Park to the Landstrasse. 
 The Stuben-Brftcke (F. 4.) (stone) between Wollzeile 
 street aud the suburb Landstrasse, built in 1400, is the 
 oldest construction of that kind in Vienna. The last

 bridge across the Wien is the Radetzky Bridge (F. 4.), 
 a stone construction completed in 1855. 
 
 Besides the bridges already enumerated, there are 
 some other wooden bridges of various sizes across the 
 Wien, according to the importance of the streets bet- 
 ween which they form communication. 
 
 The People of Vienna. 
 
 The population of Vienna and suburbs was in 1872 
 911.000 inhabitants, (about 18.000 houses.) The estab- 
 lished religion is the catholic, but there are 20.000 
 protestants and more than 40.000 jews. 
 
 The Viennese were once noted as a more eating, 
 drinking, good-natured and hospitable people than any 
 other in Germany, and Vienna was long considered the 
 „el Dorado" of a careless race who liked ..to enjoy life'' 
 and had no objection to other people doing the same. 
 The pleasures of the table, good music, and dancing, 
 were highly prized. Vienna of former days has now 
 greatly changed, and the Viennese have assumed as 
 earnest and reserved a deportment as the inhabitants 
 of most other large European Cities. There are , how- 
 ever, many places of amusement, especially in the 
 suburbs and environs of Vienna, which enjoy great 
 popularity. 
 
 Vienna is very commercial, its tradesmen being 
 reckoned among the best in Germany; and the bustle 
 in its streets is not equalled even in an English trading 
 town. The art of effecting a safe passage through some of 
 the principal thoroughfares on foot, amidst a crowd of 
 carriages, hackney-coaches, loaded waggons, and other 
 vehicles, there being in some instances but a very narrow 
 
 . 
 
4-

 The Peoi>le of Vienna. 
 
 foot-paveuieiit , is said to remain a mystery for those 
 who have had the most extensive London and Paris 
 experience. 
 
 The language of the people of Vienna consists in 
 a dialect greatly at variance with the German spoken 
 in upper Germany. The better classes, particularly when 
 speaking to strangers, express themselves in good Ger- 
 man; but this seems to be an exertion, and they will 
 soon be lieard to relapse into some kind of unaffected 
 dialect by far not so bad as that spoken by tiie lower 
 classes, although by no means so correct as it ought to 
 l)v'. The children of th(! Austrian aristocracv are tausrht 
 French an<l not seldom English since their earliest youth, 
 and the better classes of tradesmen follow their example. 
 Thus it is of no rare occurrence to meet with young 
 people wlio have as yet never quitted the paternul roof, 
 and are though possessed of no small degree of tluency 
 in two, three, and even four languages. Music, drawing, 
 and painting, are not overlooked, and in most families, 
 education is carefuUv attended to. 
 
 As regards national costumes, Vienna can boast of 
 displaying as great a variety of them as there are 
 different nations comprised in the whole empire; to 
 these we may add others belonging to the Greeks. Turks, 
 and Polish jews, which latter, by the by , is not very 
 picturesque. 
 
 It is a remarkable fact, that in proportion to the 
 number of the inhabitants of Vienna, street-mendicity 
 has been so effectually checked, that tattered clothes 
 and haggard faces are seldom to be met with during 
 daytime, a circumstance entirely owing to the unrelen- 
 ting exertions of the police, which may be annoverated 
 among the well-organized institutions of Austria.

 The Clergy. 
 
 Vienna is the seat of a Koman Catholic Archbi-^ 
 shop, who bears the title of Prince and lesides at. 
 Kothenthurmstrasse 2. It has besides a General Vicar 
 and ^a Metropolitan Chapter (St. Stephen's Square). 
 
 The united and the dissenting Greeks form twa 
 dift'ereut communities. The former have their church 
 in Dominican Square; the latter have two churches, 
 one in Fleischmarkt the other in Hafnersteig. The 
 Protestants form likewise two congregations: the Lu- 
 therians belonging to the Augsburghian Creed having 
 four parsons, and those belonging to the Keformed Hel- 
 vetian Creed, who have only two parsons. Divine ser- 
 vice is perf<trmed for the Liitherians in the church 
 once belonging to the Dorothian nuns, 18 Dorothy 
 street, while foj- the reformed it is performed at Nr. 16 
 in the same street. There is a second Lutherian church 
 at Gumpendorf (a suburb). 
 
 There are besides various national churches, for 
 instance for the French: St. Anne's; for the Italians: 
 the Minorites'; for the Bohemians: Maria-Stiegen ; for 
 the Poles: the Redeemer's; for the Hungarians: St. 
 .T<thn's. The English and Russians have chapels atta- 
 ched to their respective embassies.

 as early as 500 years after Christ. Tradition ascribes 
 to that pei-iod the little church of St. Rupert, founded 
 by two disciples of tliat Saint '.i 740 and which has 
 since been completely restored. To the time of Charle- 
 magne is ascribed the construction of *S^. Petrr's church 
 (822) and it was also at about tliat time that the 
 foundations of another little church, known under the 
 name o^ Maria Sfirf/rH , built on the declivity of a 
 hillock which formed one of the banks of the river, 
 were laid down. It must, however, be mentioned that 
 not one of these churches has come down to us without 
 its primitive structure haviug undergone considerable 
 alterations.

 »(1144). The south side-fr<>iit with its tower sufficiently 
 indicates what this hu<,^e pile would have looked like, 
 had it been constructed after the plan of Kodolph III, 
 the founder of „Neubau" (1351)). The good taste, 
 magnificence, and sprightliness of the beautifully exe- 
 cuted roses on the windows, the perfection of the two 
 counter-forts and of the carved work on the pediment, 
 as well as of the wonderful tower itself, give us a 
 correct idea of what the wlnde pile would have looked 
 like. On thi' outside the dome is ornamented with 
 various groups of figures interesting, partly because 
 they represent historical facts, }tartly as a specimen 
 of the art of the times. The handsomest porch is on 
 the north side beside the Chapel of the Cross (Kreuz- 
 Kapelle). 
 
 The completed tower on the South side has ever 
 been an object of universal admiration. There is cer- 
 tainly nothing in all Eur(»pe that can be compared to 
 it, the more so as its vast dimensions are most arti- 
 stically concealed by splendid clusters of small pyra- 
 midical ornaments and towerlets. The spire, which at 
 one time inclined much to one side, was removed in 
 1839 and replaced in 1842. To effect the necessary 
 repairs, however, iron had been used instead of stone, 
 and a short space of time sufficed to show that the 
 combination of the two materials was not judicious. 
 The cimsequence of it was a new restoration of the 
 spire. It was again removed in 1860 from little above 
 the church clock, the reconstruction began under the 
 direction of Architect Lcop. Erust^ who had completed 
 years before the carved pediment of the windows and 
 was completed by the renowned Architect F. Schmidt 
 in 18G4. 
 
 The lofty spire has an elevation of 138 M. Its 
 culminating point can be reachel, first by a winding 
 staircase numbering 533 stone steps, and then by a 
 ladder. The splendid view obtainable from the top 
 of the spire more than compensates for the fatigue 
 attending its troublesome ascension. 
 
 About half way up the belfrey is the place allot- 
 ted to the fire-bell. Here are men whose constant occu- 
 pation it is to watch day and night over the town 
 and its environs, and whenever a fire breaks out, it 
 is their duty to give the first alarm. During day-time, 
 they simplv ring the bell and hoist up a red flag; — 
 at night they put up a light in the direction in which 
 the fire is ai^tarent, and at the same time by aid of an 
 electric telegraph information is given immediately to 
 the fire offices. — A little higher up is to be seen 
 the stone bench on which, according to the inscription 
 above it, Count Stavhemhcrg , the brave defensor of 
 Vienna, used to sit and watch the progress and mo- 
 vements of the Turkish troops. It is from thence that, 
 on the morning of the 13"' September 1683, he saw 
 the combined forces of the Duke dc Lorraine and of 
 King Sobicsli, who assisted in the deliverance of Vienna, 
 take possession of the heights of the Kahlenberg. — 
 The large liell was cast from 180 cannons taken from 
 the Turks, and weighs 17.700 Kilogr. 
 
 The belfrey on the north side has not been com- 
 pleted. The little bell which surmounts it, was added 
 to it in 1579. 
 
 The interior of this vast church is divided into 
 three naves and adorned with 18 insulated pillars and 
 18 pilasters. Its aspect is very graud although some- 
 what impaired by the 38 modern altars it possesses, 
 and which greatly contrast with the loftiness of its 
 gothic architecture.

 The liigli altar constructed by Jatms Jlock (16:]9' 
 till 1647j is decorated with a heaiitiful jiainting (the 
 Lapidation of St. Stephen) hv Tobias Hock, and ano- 
 ther, representing the virgin Mary hy rotsch. 
 
 The wooden pews on each side of the choir are 
 beautifully carved. To the right of the main choir is 
 a smaller one called ,,0f the Passion" , where a cru- 
 cifixion by Saiuhntd, a St. Thecla by Jlcwj'd (1844) 
 and the wonderful marble Saico}diagus of Emperor 
 Frederic III, begun by JS^ichoJas Lerch of Strassburg 
 and completed by Michael JJichfcr in 1513 may be 
 seen. The same is ornamented with 240 figures and 
 37 coats -of- arms. — At the entrance to the upper 
 sacristy may be seen the most ancient specimen of 
 sculpture still extant in Vienna, i. e. the tomb of 
 AJbcrt III (t 1305), and that uf his consort Elizabeth, 
 
 One of the principal ornaments of the nave is a 
 puli>it (1430) whose sculptured ornaments by Anton 
 Fit grain in stone are of great merit. Underneath it 
 stands the bust of Pilgram, the architect of the church, 
 represented as if looking out of a window. 
 
 The following monuments deserve likewise to be 
 mentioned : The tombs of Eugene of Savoy and of the 
 historian Cuspinian (t 1529), that of Fmlolph IV 
 (t 1365), the founder of part of the church, and those 
 of the Cardinals Khiesel, KoUouitsch, and Trautson 
 (by Bonner). 
 
 The subterranean part of the church consists of 
 30 large vaults, llodolph caused another vault to be 
 added to the above number, which was destined to re- 
 ceive the last remains of the members of the reigning 
 house , and in which are deposited the ashes of Ro- 
 dolph IV, Albert III^ Albert IF, William (t 1400) etc.

 St. Anna's, St. Anne's Street. There was already 
 a chapel here in 1320 for the Pilgrims. In 1415 it 
 became a church and in 1582 the Jesuits took posses- 
 sion of it. Now the convent of the Jesuits belongs to 
 the Academy of fine arts, whicli appropriated it for 
 its collections, and uses some of its premises as school- 
 rooms. 
 
 St. Augustin's, Augustin Street in the vicinity of 
 Joseph's square. It was built by Frederic the Hand- 
 some in 1327 in accomplishment of a vow he had 
 made during his captivity in the castle of Trausnitz. 
 Its structure is remarkably regular and well-proportioned 
 and contains a master-piece of sculpture , the tomb of 
 the Archduchess Christine of Saxc Teschcn^ one of the 
 most celebrated works of Canova. In the vault are 
 to be seen the tombs of the Emperor Leopold II by 
 Zanner, that of Field-Marshal Daun, and that of the 
 celebrated physician van Swieten. In the Loretto Chapel 
 are preserved in silver urns the hearts of the deceased 
 members of the imperial family. This chapel was 
 founded by Eleanor of Mantoua^ the consort of Fer- 
 dinand 11. It was in this church that, on the occasion 
 of the siege of Vienna being raised. King SobiesJci 
 caused a Te Deum to be sung. Here is still to be 
 seen a ring, once belonging to Gustavus Adolphus, slain 
 in the battle of Liitzen. Ferdinand II affixed this 
 ring to the picture of the Virgin. 
 
 The tower that had been burnt down during the 
 insurrection of 1848 was rebuilt in 1852. In the con- 
 vent attached to this church lived and died the cele- 
 brated preacher Abraham a Sancta Clara. It was also 
 here that the Poet Zacharias Werner breathed his 
 last (1823).

 style. It was renovated in 1820. The window panes, 
 painted by Mohn, are interesting. The tower 57 M. 
 high, ending in the shape of a flower chalice well 
 merits some attention. — On Sundays and holidays 
 sermons in the Boliemian language are delivered in 
 this church. 
 
 The Court Chapel, founded hy Frederic IV (1449), 
 stands now on the foundations of a chapel which Bo- 
 dolph in his days had caused to be constructed. 3Iaria 
 Tlieresia had it restored, and it now possesses a beau- 
 tiful crucifix by Bonner. Here can be heard the best 
 sacred nmsic in Vienna. The imperial family attends 
 divine service in this chapel on Sundays and holidays ; 
 in winter, at eleven o'clock. 
 
 St. Michael's, Michael Square, belongs to the 
 13*^ century. This, church has often been repaired, but 
 has still a few remnants of gothic architecture to show, 
 which contrast singularly with the modern alterations 
 it has undergone. The picture of the virgin which de- 
 corates the high altar is a Greek painting. Metastasio 
 (t 1782), the poet laureate, is buried here. 
 
 St. Rupert's, Kienmarkt, is said to be the oldest 
 church in Vienna, and to have been founded by the 
 saint of the same name, in 740. It has undergone fre- 
 quent repairs. The window-panes are painted by Mohn; 
 
 — the baptistery is of the year 1500. 
 
 St. Salvator's, in Salvator Street, near the town- 
 hall, was founded in 1289. It was enlarged in 1360. 
 
 — Its porch supported by columns dates from the 16**" 
 century. 
 
 The Church of the Knights of the Teutonic 
 Order, Singerstrasse, was built by Scliiffering of Mrd- 
 lingcn in 1326. It contains a beautiful altar of the 
 XV century by Wawerc of Mecheln; a great variety 
 
 of escutcheons, banners, and ancient tombs. The orna- 
 ments in the interior of this church appertained to the 
 period of the quaint style (style baroque) ; and, save the 
 windows, no trace of the original architecture was ap- 
 parent until, in 1865 architect Ji. Lippert untertook 
 to restore it to its primitive style. 
 
 The Capuchins Church, New-Market, commenced 
 in 1619 and finished 1622 by Emperor Ferdinand II, 
 is a very simple structure. It is only remarkable 
 for its imperial vault, consisting of a long archway, 
 lined with coffins on each side , and enclosed by an 
 iron gate. It is open to the public on All - Souls - day 
 (2*^ November); strangers may easily obtain admittance 
 at other times. The most remarkable coffins are those 
 of the Empress Maria'Theresia and her imp. Consort 
 (1755 by B. 3IoU); of Joseph I and Joseph II, of 
 Matthias, of Emperor Francis I, and the Duke of 
 Beichstadt. 
 
 St. Peter's, in the square of the same name, dates 
 from 1700 and was built under the reign of Leopold I 
 on the model of St. Peter's at Rome by Fischer of 
 Erlach. The leaden statues on the porch are by Kohl, 
 its frescoes by Bothmcyer and Bahiena, the high altar 
 is by Altomonte. Here is to be seen the tomb of 
 Wolfgang Laziiis, the historian (t 1565). 
 
 The Church of our Lady of the Scots, on the 
 Freiung, was built in 1155 and made over to Bene- 
 dictine monks who came from Scotland in 1158. In 
 1418 it was finally occupied by German monks of that 
 order. The structure of this church in its present form, 
 dates from 1642 — 1650; it was entirely destroyed du- 
 ring the siege of the Turks (1683), but rebuilt in 
 1690. It contains several interesting tombs. Here are 
 preserved the last remains of Duke Henry Jasomirgott,

 Palaces and other Remarkable Edifices, 
 
 The Imperial Palace consists of a pile of buil- 
 dings built at different epochs, which in their structure 
 present no other remarkable feature save that of being 
 exceedingly plain. 
 
 The oldest part of the pile is the side -wing to 
 the east, built about the beginning of the 13*^ century. 
 In the year 1275 it was destroyed by fire. Ottokar II 
 caused it to be rebuilt, and Ferdinand I had the whole 
 palace enlarged. Leopold I began the long south front 
 in 1660, and towards the end of the 16"' century the 
 side-wing to the west was commenced. The north side, 
 closing the oblong square, contains the licichsJcanzlei 
 (chancery of the empire). It is considered one of the 
 finest pieces of modern architecture in Germany, and 
 was built by Fischer of ErJach in 1728. The figures 
 that adorn the two gateways, representing four labours 
 of Hercules, are by Mathielhj. 
 
 The long south front is that part of the palace 
 inhabited by the present Emperor. — Here may be seen 
 the reception rooms and the splendid gala- room built 
 under Emperor Francis I (1805). — The imperial 
 apartments are open to visitors during the absence of his 
 Majesty the Emperor. The most remarkable part of them 
 is the Bitter saal, in which court balls and state cere- 
 monies are held and foreign ambassadors received. 
 Between the palace of Leopold and the Swiss -Court 
 (Schweizerhof) is to be seen the grand staircase called

 Adlcrsticge, which was constructed under Charles VI 
 (1730). The buildings adjoining the palace again form 
 two squares called Swiss-Court and Joseph Square, one 
 of the sides of which latter belongs to the imperial 
 library, one of Fischer's greatest master-pieces. The 
 large room in the library measures 78 M. by 17; — 
 eight columns support its ceiling which is adorned with 
 twelve statues representing the princes of the House 
 of Habsburg, Charles VI, and the bust of Van Swieten 
 in marble. The paintings on the ceiling are by D. Gran, 
 The ball-room in the Bedoute (Redoutensaal) and the 
 Winter Riding-School, the finest in- Europe, are on the 
 west side of the square, and were constructed by Fischer 
 of Erlach. 
 
 The Court Theatre, adjoining the Winter Riding- 
 School was commenced in 1741 and enlarged in 1760 
 (see the article Theatres). 
 
 The Swiss- Court leads to the Cabinet of the Em- 
 peror, the private Court Library, the Treasury, the 
 Astronomical Cabinet, and the Court Fountain. 
 
 The northern side of the Palace (chancery of the 
 kingdom) contains the Archives of State and the apart- 
 ments destined to the reception of foreigners of distinc- 
 tion. The magnificent stair -case called Batthyanyi- 
 Stiege was constructed by Fischer of Erlach (1761). 
 The appellation of „Augustiner-Gang" has been given 
 to the passage which unites the Swiss -Court to the 
 Augustin Church and to the palace of Archduke Albert, 
 and contains a rich collection of ancient coins and 
 other antiquities as well as the Cabinet of Mineralogy, 
 The „Laternengang" (Lantern passage) leads under 
 ground from the „Augustinergang" to the Court garden.

 There remain still to be mentioned some impor- 
 tant buildings actually in construction, which, when 
 completed will rank among the most splendid monu- 
 ments of architecture of^the 19^^' century. 
 
 First of all — the new Town - Hall nehv the 
 Frauzensring (D. 4.) in the gothic style after the plans 
 of Frederic Schmidt, will certainly be the grandest 
 building of Vienna ; it covers more than 18.000 Q M. 
 and the anticipated time required for its construction 
 is from 8 to 9 years, at on expence of 10 Millions 
 of florins. — On both sides of the Town-Hall, divided 
 by a Park with grand fountains, will stand, on the 
 right, the Houses of Parliament in greek style after 
 the plans of Hansen — to the left, the new University/ 
 in Italian Renaissance after the plans of Ferstl. The 
 whole of the lecture-halls of the latter (more than 40) 
 will have to accomodate over 6000 students at a time; 
 the Liltrary united with the University will be similar 
 in construction to that of St. Genevieve in Paris; a 
 hall with 3 naves, 24 M. high, supported by 20 co- 
 lumns with accomodation for more than 400 students 
 is destined to receive about 350.000 volumes. 
 
 On the Burgring two Museums are in construc- 
 tion after the plans of Hasenauer and Semper, one 
 of which, near the Babenbergerstrasse (D. 5.) is pre- 
 destined for the reception of the Picture Gallery actually 
 in the Belvedere, the historical collections etc., the 
 other, near the Bellariagasse is destined for the col- 
 lections of natural history. 
 
 Last , but not least , we can mention the New 
 Exchange on the Schottenring (F. 3.), after the plans 
 of Hansen in Renaissance, a gigantic building, which 
 occupies a space of nearly 9000 Q M.

 The Monument of Emperor Francis I, in the 
 
 imperial Palace Court, is a fine group in cast iron by 
 Marchcsi. In its centre is to be seen the Emperor's 
 statue, representing him erect and with stretched arm. 
 This statue is surrounded by four allegorical figures, 
 i. e. Faith, Justice. Peace, and Power. The inscription 
 
 „Amorem populis meis" is quoted from the will of 
 that Emperor. This monument is however by no means 
 considered as one of Marchesi's master-pieces.

 be seen on the Hohenmarkt, also an ex-voto of that 
 Emperor. 
 
 The Ressel Monument, erected in honour of the 
 first who conceived the idea of propelling vessels by 
 means of the archemedian Screw. This bronze statue 
 is the work of Fernkorn (1863) and may be seen 
 in the garden before the Polytechnic Institution.

 by Fischer. 
 
 The Stock-im-Eisen is one of the greatest curio- 
 sities which Vienna possesses. It consists of the stump

 of an old tree, so thoroughly studded with nails that 
 nothing of the wood remains to be seen. This trunk 
 is the last remnant of the forest of Vienna, which 
 in former tim(3S is said to have covered the whole area 
 which the town now occupies. It was customary for 
 all young artisans, studying their trade, to travel 
 through the country, staying a few days at some of 
 the principal cities. Not a single journey -man lock- 
 smith passed through Vienna without hammering a 
 nail into the trunk of this tree; this fact may be re- 
 lied upon as being historical, and hence the name of 
 the street Stock-im-Eisen (stick-in-iron, or more pro- 
 perly, iron-clad stump), which has been retained. 
 
 Vienna will be adorned in a short time by three 
 other Monuments viz. of Schiller, Grillparzer, and 
 Tegetthoff, for "the first, the model by Schilling is 
 completed and it will be the finest monument existing 
 of the immortal poet; it is to be erected on the 
 Schillerplatz (D. E. 5.), near the Opernring before the 
 new building of the Academy/ of Fine Arts still in 
 construction. 
 
 Public and Private Gardens. 
 
 The Imp. Garden (Burggarten) east of the Im- 
 perial Palace, possesses two large hot-houses 128 M. 
 in length by 15 in height and a winter garden, the 
 roof of which rests on Corinthian columns. Here is to 
 be seen the equestrian statue of Francis I, This gar- 
 den, which abounds in a great variety of caraelias, roses, 
 and other beautiful and rare flowers, is not open to 
 the Viennese public; strangers obtain admission in the 
 morning.

 The People's Garden ( Volksgarten) , facing the 
 imp. Garden, dates from 1824. In the centre of the 
 garden is a temple called, the temple of Theseus, 
 an imitation of that at Athens which contains a beau- 
 tiful group in white marble, representing Theseus sub- 
 duing the Minotaur. To the left of the entry is a 
 cafe, at which good concerts may be heard every day 
 during the fine season. 
 
 The Town Park (Stadtpark, is the most recent 
 and most fashionable walk in Vienna. It is situated 
 on the right and left bank of the ,,Wien", between 
 the Kolowratring and the Stubenring, and occupies an 
 area of 143.800 Q Metres. At the time of the de- 
 molition of the ramparts (1857), it was ordered by 
 express command of the Emperor that a part of the 
 adjacent glacis should be transformed into a park. 
 Agreeably to the imperial order, the new park was 
 laid out in 1862, under the direction of Siebek, and 
 after the plans of painter SeUeny. That portion of 
 the park, situated on the right bank of the ,,Wien", 
 is a place of resort for children; hence its name 
 KhulerparA', On the left bank of the Wien is a nice 
 pavilion made of cast iron that was exhibited at the 
 London International Exhibition. The town Corporation 
 bougth it for 3000 florins, and adorned the park with 
 it. Another ornament worth seeing is a statue repre- 
 senting the Danubian Maid by Gasser; — finally the 
 monument of Schubert near the Ringstrasse, erected 
 in 1872. The Kursalon, at one of the extremities of 
 the Park, is a nice building after the plan of architect 
 Garben. 
 
 The Public Garden, on this side of the arm of 
 the Danube and facing the Leopoldstadt. 
 
 The Angarten, to the north of the town and on 
 an islet, was opened to the public by Joseph IL in 
 1757. On its principal gate may yet the following 
 inscription be read : „Allen Menschen gewidmeter Be- 
 lustigungsort von ihrem Schatzer'' (Place of recreation 
 dedicated to all men by their friend). This garden 
 though barely frequented, commands a very nice view 
 and has beautiful shady walks. In one part of it are 
 stored up the collections brought over by the frigate 
 „Novara" on her return from her long voyage round 
 the world, (1857—1859), but not yet to be seen. 
 
 The Belvedere Garden, Rennweg, founded by 
 Eugene of Savoy, does not, save its beautiful gallery, 
 present any very remarkable feature. It is nicely laid 
 out, and from the terrace at the rear back of the 
 garden a general view of Vienna and its environs can 
 be obtained. 
 
 The Imp. Garden in the Prater, a park in the 
 English style with a villa in it, is not accessible to 
 any one but the imperial family. 
 
 The Gardens of the Horticultural Society, Park- 
 ring, surrounding the building belonging to the society, 
 and Landstrasse, Rudolphsgasse 13, founded with a 
 view of forwarding the cultivation of plants, fruits, and 
 vegetables, holds annual exhibitions. 
 
 The Garden of the Agricultural Society, Land- 
 strasse, Rudolphsgasse 13, near to the preceding; these 
 two gardens encircle the Rudolph Hospital. 
 
 The Two Gardens of Prince Liechtenstein, Land- 
 strasse, Rasumoffskygasse and Liechtensteinstrasse 38. 
 
 The Garden of Prince Schwarzenberg, Renn- 
 weg 2, is one of the largest and finest gardens in 
 Vienna ; it is adorned with the sweetest beds of flowers 
 and planted with beautiful trees in the mixed English 
 and French styles. Always open to the public.

 The Prater; the usual way to the Prater is through 
 the Praterstrasse (see puge 4). On reaching the end 
 of this beautiful street, the whole Prater, laid out in 
 1537 and comprising the Punch and Judy Prater 
 (Wurstl-Prater), lies before one. It consits of the re- 
 mains of a large forest, intersected by three large alleys 
 retaining a sufficient number of majestic trees to give 
 evident proof of its old age. The chief Alley (Haupt- 
 allee), which is by far the longest and finest, and the 
 resort of fashionable people, is that to the right of the 
 Prater stern ^ an open place at the bottom of the Prater- 
 strasse. It is divided into three sections; the middle 
 broad causeway is for cariages, the right for equestrians, 
 and the left for pedestrians. — These three sections 
 terminate in a circular platform, called the Bondeau. 
 Persons who wish to prolong their walk or drive can 
 proceed nearly as far again to a handsome summer 
 building, called the Lusthaus. The latter, as well as 
 the left side of the main Alley, is provided with cafes^ 
 where refreshments may be had, and where on a sum- 
 mer evening many thousands of persons are assembled, 
 taking their supper and listening to the music. 
 
 The Exhibition of 1873 has entirely changed the 
 character of the Prater and besides the Exhibition itself 
 it offers now such a plenty of amusements, especially 
 between the chief-alley and the next to the left (Welt- 
 ausstellungsstrasse) that it would be impossible to give 
 a list of them.

 This remarkable collection consists of a vast num- 
 ber of bronzes, Etruscan vases, terracottas, mosaics, an- 
 cient lamps, antique household utensils, and a great 
 variety of intaglios. — No other Museum iu Europe

 others, the Apotheosis of emperor Augustus, an onix 
 23 Centm. in diameter, with 20 beautiful figures, is a 
 Cameo, which, although in size is surpassed by one in 
 Paris, as to the workmanship is the finest roman 
 specimen of the Augustinian age and has non to equal 
 it in the world; — a head of Tiberius, and another 
 of Mercurius are also very fine. 
 
 The same Cabinet (V) contains a Cup of oriental 
 agat, 740 Mm. in diameter; it is an unicum as no 
 other jewel of this size is known. — The collection of

 manship ; one of the finest sarcophagus of all which 
 are known. 
 
 The Collection of antique Sculptures, Inscrip- 
 tions and Mosaics in the same building, belonging 
 likewise to the Imp. Cabinet of antiquities, is a collec- 
 tion of no great importance, but it contains two objects 
 of the best period of grecian art, which by them- 
 selves fully indemnify the visitor, viz, a bronze statue 
 of Hermes found in Carinthia and a sarcophagus, called 
 the Sareophagus of the Fugger family, with basreliefs 
 of the Battle of the Amazones, of an extraordinary 
 beauty. 
 
 The Collection of Ambras (Ambraser-Sammlung),

 Tyrol, where it was founded by the Archduke Ferdi- 
 nand (second son of the Emperor Ferdinand J), in 
 the second half of the 16'" century, it was from thence, 
 transferred to Vienna in 1806, when, subsequently 
 to the peace of Presburg, Tyrol was given up to 
 Bavaria. It is open to the public every tuesday and 
 friday from 9 to 12, a. m. and from 3 to 6 p. m.

 fS 
 
 developed and forwarded hy Maria- Theresia and Joseph 11, 
 has been completely reorganised between the years 1850 
 1865 and 1872. Elementary instruction has been re- 
 placed by the real object of the Academy, namely, that 
 of becoming a high school of Art, or one instituted to 
 encourage and promote its progress. — The Academy 
 is divided into two departments: 
 
 I. A general school for painting and sculpture, and 
 U a special school for historical painting sculp- 
 ture, engraving, landscape, plastic, and architecture 
 
 This Academy is richly endowed and possessed ot 
 all the necessary requirements to form good scholars. 
 It is placed under the tutorship of a president and 
 has an Academical Council consisting of its professors 
 an.l eight independent artists appointed by the Council. 
 _ The number of its ordinary professors is 17, to 
 which a few assistants may be added. 
 
 For the Collections of the Academy — see page 64. 
 The Imp. Museum of Art and Industrie (k. k. 
 osterreichisches Museum ftir Kunst und Industrie), Stu- 
 benring (F. 4.), founded in 1863. The immediate im- 
 pulse to the erection of this Museum was caused by 
 the General-Exhibition in London (1862) and the South- 
 Kensington-Museum. Its object is to enhance good taste 
 and progress in the different branches of trade and 
 industry by benefiting them with the application of 
 scientifical and artistical knowledge. — To this effect 
 the Museum contains a great variety of choice speci- 
 mens in the multifai'ious lines of trade and industry 
 which they serve to elucidate, thereby calling the 
 attention of the mechanic and artisan to the importance 
 of art in its application to the numerous inventions 
 that are daily made. — The greater number of articles 
 forming this collection are, however, only borrowed, the

 Emperor having placed the court collections, those of 
 the University, Polytechnic, Arsenal, and other similar 
 iustitutions, at the disposal of the Director. — Besides 
 these sources, tne Museum is enabled to increase its 
 collections by its own means as well as either by 
 legacies or donations from the rich, etc. Occasional ex- 
 hibitions are held here which are well worth seeing. 
 The Museum is the most visited by the Viennese 
 in preference to all other collections. Open daily from 9 
 to 4, mondays excepted ; on tuesdays and Wednesdays the 
 price of admission is 30 kreuzers. 
 
 Picture Galleries. 
 
 Besides a collection of engravings and a library, 
 the Academy of Fine-Arts (Annagasse 3), possesses 
 a fine gallery of paintings and a very interesting col- 
 lection of plaster figures, chiefly copied from classic 
 greek and roman originals (Among others from the 
 ^Elgin marbles''^) and of the middle ages. 
 
 The collection of paintings called Lamberg'sche 
 Gallerie, was bequeathed to the Academy by the late 
 Count Anton Lamhery. — It consists of 800 excellent 
 paintings, 200 of which belong to the classical Flemish 
 school; others again are by old German masters and 
 Paul Potter, Claude Lorraine, Hemliny, Cranach, 
 Rubens, Jordans, Terbury , Teniers, Ruisdael, Ve- 
 lascpie^, Murillo (Spanish school), Paul Veronese ^ and 
 Tintoretto, are to be seen here. — Open daily from 
 10 to 1 o'clock. 
 
 The present building is very unfavourable and un- 
 sufficient for the collections — part of which is not to be 
 
 seen for want of space to expose it; but a new buil- 
 ding is in course of construction at the Schillerplatz 
 (D. E. 5.). 
 
 The Imp. Gallery, at the Belvedere, Rennweg 
 (F. 7.), is open from the 24'^ April to the 30*' Sept. 
 every day (Mondays excepted) from 10 to 4. On Sundays 
 and in Winter it is open only from 10 to 2. This col- 
 lection, was originally founded, though neither on its 
 present scale nor on its present situation, by Mathias II. 
 It was subsequently enriched by a great number of pictures 
 formerly in the possession of Charles II. of England, 
 by the Archduke Leopold Wilhclm, Governor of the 
 Netherlands (1646—1656) and under Charles VI. and 
 Joseph II., it received again large additions. It is im- 
 possible to give an idea of the richness of the above 
 collection within the limits of the present work; suffice 
 it to say, that it contains nearly 1800 paintings large 
 and small, and that one of its great peculiarities and 
 advantages is, its possessing admirable specimens from 
 the various periods of all the principal schools, as 
 Flemish, Dutch, Italian, and old and modern German, so 
 as to present to the artist or amateur a complete survey 
 of the progress of the art, and form what may be 
 termed a very rich and select collection. The names 
 of Gioryione, Titian, Paul Veronese, Tintoretto, Ra- 
 phael^ Peruyino^ Caravayyio^ Salvator Rosa, Da 
 Vinci, Del Sarto, Carlo Dolce, 3Iichel Anyelo, Guido 
 Reni, Correyyio, Carracci. Vandyk, Rubens, Teniers, 
 Rembrandt^ Paul Potter, Ruysdael^ Womvermans, Van 
 Eyck, Albrecht Durer, will be sufficient to excite the 
 curiosity of the visitor endowed with taste for exhibi- 
 tions of this kind. A complete Catalogue in german and 
 french may be procured at the Gallery.

 tion of the specimens. — This collection is divided 
 into five sections, viz: 1) a large collection consisting

 The number of engravings of the two first collec- 
 tions amounts to 300.000. The engravings are chro- 
 nologically arranged according to the different schools, 
 their printers and engravers. This collection may justly 
 be termed one of the most extensive and precious in 
 Europe. 
 
 It would be impossible to give here a list of the 
 capital specimens, this rich collection contains, we 
 mention only some ' of the greatest rarities it includes. 
 Among the Niellos , of which it possesses 72 , some 
 very rare by Maso Finiguerra and Peregrino da 
 Cesena; the Italian school is represented by Sandro 
 Botticelli; Pallajuolo] Andrea Mantegna; Martino

 called blaster of 1464 — and that of 1480; — 
 Franz von Bocholt; — Martin ScJwngaucr ; — Al- 
 hreeht Burer etc. ; of the flemish school : Lucas van 
 Leyden a. o. Of almost all these artists the collection 
 includes the most rare specimens, very remarkable for 
 their preservation. — There are besides to mention 
 the Original etchings by Ehheimer, Boos, van iJi/k, 
 Bemhrandt, A. Ostade, Potter, Buysdael and others.

 of the Archduke Charles, father of their actual pro- 
 prietor. This collection consists of above 200.000 spe- 
 cimens and of original drawings by the masters of the 
 principal schools, of 16.000 specimens. — The latter 
 is the most complete collection of its kind extant. 
 Amongst the drawings are to be seen: 144 by Ra- 
 phael of the best time of the artist; indeed no other 
 Cabinet in Europe has such a remarkable collection; 
 — the same is to be said <if the 164 drawings by 
 Diirer; and as to this artist, the collection in the 
 ^^Alhertina" is more important than all the public and 
 private collections in the world put together. — There 
 are besides 36 studies (etudes) by Michel- An gelo, 150 
 by Bubens^ above 100 by Bcmbrandt etc. A selection of 
 the most important specimens of the prints and dra-

 Theatres. 
 
 Vienna possesses 10 theatres and 1 summer 
 theatre, 7 of these are in the town, the others are in 
 the suburbs. The boxes can hold from 4 to 6 persons 
 and are generally let to one party, except at the 
 Theatre on the Wien, at the Karl Theatre, and the 
 Orpheum, where a limited number of boxes only 
 are let to different parties. The reserved-seats both in 
 the pit and galleries rank next after the boxes in point 
 of gentility and convenience. It is advisable for ladies 
 to take either a box or reserved seats in the pit or 
 first gallery as far as possible in the front row, and 
 especially so at the theatres in the suburbs. Theatri- 
 cal performances commence in Vienna at seven o'clock 
 and generally end at ten. It is custumary for gentle- 
 men entering the Imperial Court Theatre (k. k. Hof- 
 burgtheater) and the Court Opera (k. k. Hofopern- 
 theater) to take off their hats; in other theatres the 
 same custom prevails, but only after the curtain has. 
 been drawn up.

 The Court Theatre (Hofburgtheater), in the Imp. 
 Palace, was constructed in 1760 and has, between the 
 years 1837 ahd 1872, undergone frequent restorations. 
 Its internal arrangement and decorations leave much 
 to wish for as far as comfort and elegance are con- 
 cerned , but its actors are unquestionably the first in 
 Germany. This theatre is exclusively devoted to classic 
 German plays though some of Shakespeare's master- 
 pieces such as, Hamlet, Macbeth, Lear, Othello, and 
 Romeo and Juliet are here occasionally acted with great 
 taste and correctness.

 merly a small theatre built by Ch, 31arinclli in 1781

 jfiies of actors.

Anstrian Money. 
 
 It was stipulated at the last monetary convention 
 held in Vienna (1855), that the Austrian empire should 
 henceforward adopt a monetary system more in con- 
 formity with the value of that of the other Confederate 
 States of Germany. According to the new system, 
 since 1858 a pound of fine silver is equal to 45 fl. 
 new Austrian currency, or to 30 Prussian dollars 
 (Thaler), or to 52 flors. 30 krzrs. currency in Southern 
 Germany. — One Prussian dollar is therefore equal to 
 IVq Austrian florin, or to 1^4 Aorin of southern 
 Germany. 
 
 One Austrian florin has 100 kreuzers (copper money).

 The Markets of Vienna. 
 
 97 
 
 We have already spoken of the Austrian bank- 
 notes which, instead of gold and silver coins, are cur- 
 rent throughout the empire. The bank not exchanging 
 its paper for money, it results from it, that the latter, 
 whether gold or silver, is submitted to an agio which 
 varies daily according to the greater or lesser demand 
 for it. Since a few years, however, the state of the 
 Austrian bank has considerably improved, and it is 
 generally believed and hoped that the agio on gold 
 and silver will soon entirely subside; — during the 
 last year the agio amounted 6 — 87o. 
 
 The Markets of Vienna. 
 
 The principal Markets in Vienna are for vegetables 
 and fruits those on the Hof and Freiung, the Nasch- 
 markt, and that on a place near the Franz -Joseph's 
 Quay which is called „Schanzl". For venison there 
 arc many shops at the socalled „Wildpretmarkt" ; Fish 
 is sold in the street running parallel to the Franz- 
 Joseph's Quay, etc. — There is besides a central 
 Market-Hall of recent date on the way to the suburb 
 Landstrasse, in the space between the Railway and the 
 Town-Park, at which all kinds of victuals can be pro- 
 cured at a moderate price and a Detail Market-Hall, 
 opened in 1871 near the Parkring at the corner of 
 the Cobden street and the Zedlitzgasse (F. 4.), a num- 
 ber of such halls will be constructed in the next time. 
 
 There are other markets for the purchase of hay, 
 coals and lime, in the proximity of the Matzleinsdorf 
 gate.

 Military Institutions. 
 
 Fire-wood is sold on the banks of the Danube in 
 the former suburbs Kossau, Weissgiirber, Erdberg, and 
 in the Brigittenau. — Wheat and Corn before the 
 „Getreidemarkt'^ Barracks, Laimgrube. and flour is to 
 be had on the Neumarkt and in tlie old city. 
 
 The Market for left -off clothes and a multitude 
 of other second-hand articles is one of the curiosities 
 of the metropolis. Beginning with the most costly 
 articles of dress and ending with the simple button, 
 every imaginable trumpery article is hero of cheap 
 acijuisition. This establishment is situated near the 
 Berggasse, Alsergrund. 
 
 Military Institutions and Establishments. 
 
 The imp. roy. Military College, Marialiilf, Drei- 
 hufeisengasse (D. 5 ), is devoted to superior instruction 
 for young officers needing some schooling before being 
 admitted to the staff. A complete course of studies 
 lasts three years. 
 
 The Military Geographical Institution ^k. k. mili- 
 tarisch - geographisches Institut) , Rathhausstrasse 7, 
 (C. 4), founded in 1839. The object of this institution 
 is to draw up plans and maps of the whole empire; to 
 collect for the purpose all the necessary materials both 
 on land and sea; to provide for the publication of the 
 said plans and maps and carefully store up all works 
 of the kind. The Naps of this Institution are renowned 
 as the best in Europe. Emperor Francis-Joseph has ^ 
 contributed much to the aggrandisement of this in- 
 stitution by adding to the number of geographers al- 
 ready-extant (1851) a cops of 44 military geographers. 
 
 Military Institutions. 
 
 The establisliun'ut is divided into 8 sections: 
 
 1. Topographiciil Drawing.

 The Imperial Medical and Surgical Academy, 
 (called Josei)hinum) , Wahringergasse 15 (C. 3), w^as 
 founded by Joseph II in 1785 and reorganised in 
 1854. Its object is to provide the army with skilful 
 physicians and surgeons. The Medical course lasts 5 
 years, the surgical 3; the military hospital belongs 
 to it, and a botanical garden, museum, and library 
 are attached to the establishment. This academy will 
 be suspended in 1874.

 tut), Landstrasse, linke Bahngasse 7 (F. G. 5). 
 
 The Garrison Hospital (k. k. Militar-Hauj^t- 
 Garnisons-Spittd), Alsergrund, Garnisonsgasse 5. This 
 building is contiguous to the Josephinum , and has 
 accommodation for 900 patients. 
 
 The Military Hospital for Invalids, Landstrasse, 
 Invalidenstrasse 1 (C. 4. 5), was established (1783) 
 in the building it now occupies. Here is accommo- 
 dation for 65 officers and 550 soldiers. Two large 
 pictures representing the battles of Aspern and Leipzic 
 (by Krafft) adorn its walls. 
 
 The Military Riding-School (k. k. Equitations- 
 Schule), Rennweg 3 (F. 6); — attached to the building 
 is a leaping-ground, which , in a space of about 130

 feet, is, like a steeple- chase ground, furnished with all 
 sorts of hinderances. 
 
 The Imperial Arsenal (without the Belvedere 
 gate) (see p. 37), contains a church, an hospital, a 
 large collection of arms, a barrack, a cannon and gun 
 foundery, an open space measuring 600 paces for tar- 
 get-shooting, and various work-shops for the fabrica- 
 tion of fire-arms and iunmunition. Nine steam engi- 
 nes of 125 horse ])ower are constantly at work in 
 its precincts, and it gives occupation to 2000 mechanics. 
 
 It is open every day. 
 
 Soldiers' Barracks, for infantry, the Francis- 
 Joseph's Casern, near the gate of same name (F. 4.), 
 built in the Anglo-Saxon style and completed in 1857,. 
 a fine building. — Another barrack in the town is 
 the Rudolph Casern (E. 3.) situated on the Danube. 
 
 — In the suburbs, the most remarkable are: one in 
 Mariahilf, Caserngasse 1 (Academy of Engineers); — 
 and those on the Getreidemarkt 11, — Heumarkt 27, 
 Alserstrasse 2, — and Mariahilferstrasse 25.

 Public Safety and Comfort. 
 
 The internal city, comprising the Ring ^ forms 
 one Police district; the suburbs are divided into 8 di- 
 stricts, each district having a Commissary Director with 
 a certain number of functionaries under him, a phy- 
 sician, a surgeon, and a midwife. The general Direc- 
 tion of Police (Petersplatz 10), comprises among other 
 offices, those for foreigners, for cab and omnibus drivers, 
 servants, and the conscription office. 
 
 The Austrian detective Police is generally acknow- 
 ledged to be as efficient as that of London and Paris. 
 During the day, policemen, whose duty it is to watch 
 over public safety and order, are posted in different 
 streets; At night they are replaced by watchmen who 
 have to look to the shops and house doors on their 
 round being properly closed and bolted. 
 
 The severity with which strangers used to be asked 
 for their passport in former years has quite subsided 
 in Austria. Passports are now only asked for at the 
 Russian and Turkish Frontiers. 
 
 The omnibuses which traverse the town in all 
 directions, occasionally causing great confusion in its 
 narrow streets, are not allowed to stop during their 
 drives except a few minutes at Stephen Square, Frei- 
 ung, Hof, Neumarkt and Hohenmarkt. 
 
 When driving through Vienna and its environs the 
 coachman must keep on the left hand side of the street 
 or road, and drive past any carriage before him to 
 the right. — The doors of private houses are closed 
 at 10 oclock p. m. Any body returning home after

 that time must pay the porter lo krs. Dogs must 
 not be aHowed to run about the streets without wea- 
 ring a wire muzzle. 
 
 Fire -men and Fire-engines, Hof, in the civil 
 Arsenal. — In this establishment 7 large fire-engines, 
 27 water-carts, 50 fire-men, and 3 sweeps are always 
 in readiness to answer the fire -bell of St. Stephen 
 from whoso belfrey a watchman by means of an 
 electric telegraph gives the alarm, and signalizes the 
 direction in which the firo has broken out; this takes 
 place during day time by means of a red flag being 
 hoisted up, and during the night by a lighted lantern. 
 
 The Establishments for supplying the Town 
 with Water are, comparatively speaking, few. They 
 mostly have to take their supplies partly from distant 
 fountains, and partly from the Danube. Some of the 
 water used in Vienna has to pass through 16.000 
 pipes before it reaches its destination. — Owing to 
 this scarcity of water, Emperor Ferdinand caused a 
 new water conduit to be constructed 1838, which 
 bears the name of that monarch (Kaiser Ferdinands- 
 Wasserleitung). 
 
 Still in the course of 1873 Vienna will be sup- 
 plied with excellent water from the foot of the ^^Schncc- 
 berg'', for this purpose a gigantic Aqueduct, 12 ger- 
 man miles long, has been constructed at an expense of 
 more than 25,000.000 florins. 
 
 The Gas Illumination of Vienna (oftices Bauern- 
 markt 8, and Erdbergerliinde 14), is supplied by a 
 branch of the London Imperial Gas Company; — the 
 gazometers are in the suburbs Erdberg, Rossau, and 
 Fiinfliaus.

 criminals who have been sentenced to one year's hu- 
 prisonment and for those who are still awaiting the 
 verdict of the Court. 
 
 The Court of Justice itself and an hospital for 
 the deliquents are comprised in the building, which 
 can accomodate 350 criminals an<l 170 patients. 
 
 Hospitals. 
 
 The General Hospital (k. k. allgemeines Kranken- 
 haus), Alserstrasse 4, was founded by Emperor Joseph II 
 in 1783, and considerably enlarged in 1835. It is 
 built on an area of 20.500 square feet, has a chapel, 
 104 rooms for the sick with 2000 beds, 60 private 
 rooms, a pharmacy, baths, above 50 physicians and 
 400 nurses in attendance. The first class treatment 
 for patients including private room, board, medicaments 
 and physician's fees , costs daily 4 fl. ; 2^ class treat- 
 ment 2 fl. ; — 3*^ class, for Austrians G(j kr., for 
 
 strangers 86 kr. 
 
 In this establishment centre the various clinics 
 of the university who are at liberty to choose any par- 
 ticular patient, the progress of whose illness may be 
 interesting for them to watch, and who is accordingly 
 transferred to a particular clinic, where he is taken

 care of. Connected with the Hospital are two other 
 Establishments viz, a Lunatic Asylum (Irrenhaus), and 
 a lying-in-hospital. 
 
 The Lunatic -Asylum, Alsergrund, Lazareth- 
 gasse 14, constructed in 1851 by Architect Fellner 
 after the plan of Nadhcrny. This building with, de- 
 pendencies, covers an area of 60.000 square fathoms 
 and has cost above one million of florins. Its internal 
 arrangement and organisation is in perfect accordance 
 with its vastness. Here are to be seen: a chapel 
 (stained window-panes by Geyling), drawing-rooms fur- 
 nished vvith pianos, billiard-tables, and such working 
 implements as may contribute to divert the minds of 
 its inmates. The work done by the patients is sold 
 and they are benefited with the proceeds of the sale. 
 — 500 Lunatics can find accomodation in the building, 
 and the charge made is according to the class they 
 belong to, for inst. : 1 '* class with room to one's self, 
 daily 3 fl.; — 2^ class, a room for two, daily 1 fl. 
 50 kr. ; — 3** class sleep in dormitories containing at 
 least 6 beds each, and pay 80 krs. daily. 
 
 The Lying in-Hospital (Gebaranstalt) , furnished 
 with 30 beds for the three classes into which it is 
 divided; — the first class patients pay 3 fl. 50 krs. 
 a day; — the second class, 2 fl., and the third class, 
 1 fl. a day. Poor women are admitted without payment, 
 but they are obliged to serve afterwards for some time 
 as wetnurses in the foundling-hospital connected with it. 
 
 The Wieden District-Hospital, Favoritenstrasse 32, 
 contains 900 beds and tends annually between 7000 
 and 8000 patients.

 Church- Yards : There are seven of them, situated 
 without the town-gates and deriving their names from 
 the gate they are next to; su<h are: the Mariahilf 
 church-yard; the Hundsthuini, Matzleinsdorf, St. Marx, 
 and Nussdorf burial-grounds. That of Matzleinsdorf 
 contains a fine chapel and the tomb of Gluck (f 1787). 
 The church-yard for the Protestants is situated in the 
 vecinity of Matzleinsdorf, and that for the jews near 
 Nussdorf. — The Viennese church-yards are generally 
 very simple and do not present any very remarkable

 GriUparzer (f 1872) are interred at Wahring, a vil- 
 lage near Vienna. 
 
 Philanthropic Institutions. 
 
 The Imperial Poor-House , established by Jo- 
 seph /land administered by the Municipality of Vienna, 
 disposes of funds, which accrue to it from donations 
 and legacies obtained from the wealthy. Here all poor 
 persons, without distinction obtain assistance according 
 to their wants, wliich latter are determined by the 
 clergyman of the parish. On an average 18.000 per- 
 sons are yearly assisted and receive in daily dispen- 
 sations above 30.000 florins a year.

 spend above 65.000 florins annually in dispensations 
 to the needy and infirm, distribute prizes in the Parish 
 
 Philantropic Institutions.

 schools, and support at their own expense a girl-school, 
 at which all kinds of needle-work is taught. 
 
 The Orphan -Asylum, Alsergrund, Waisenhaus- 
 gasse 5, is both an educational and a helping insti- 
 tution. It was founded in 1742 by Prebendary Marxer 
 and transferred in 1785 by Emperor Joseph II in the 
 building in which it is actually. Here is accomodation 
 for 400 orphans, and about 3000 more are tended at 
 the expense of the establishment. 
 
 The Institution for the Deaf and Dumb (k. k. 
 Taubstummen-Institut), Wieden, Taubstummengasse 7, 
 founded in 1779 by Maria-Theresa, has been enlarged 
 (1822) by Francis i, 100 pupils annually find ad^ 
 mittance in it and are educated here. 
 
 The Institution for the Blind (k. k. Bliuden- 
 Institut) admits blind children of both sexes, from 8 
 to 12 years of age, when in a healthy state. A com- 
 plete course of studies lasts from 6 to 10 years. The 
 number of the pupils exceeds 50. This establishment 
 is remarkably well administered. It possesses a very 
 interesting collection of objects invented by and for 
 the blind. 
 
 The Hospital for the Blind (Blinden-Versor- 
 gungsanstalt) in the proximity of the foregoing is de- 
 stined to the blind of a more advanced age.

 Communications. 
 
 The General Post -office is situated in the old 
 city, Postgasse 10. It has branch-offices in the Habs- 
 burgergasse 1) ; — Seilerstiitte 22 : — Landskron- 
 gasse 1; — Maxiniilianstrasse 4; — Esslingerstr. 4, 
 and in all the suburbs as well as at the general Ex- 
 hibition. The letters received are distributed eight 
 times during the day by the postmen , and numerous 
 letter-boxes are distributed in the principal streets all 
 over town. 
 
 The postage of a letter not exceding 1 J.oth 
 (% ounce) is 3 krs. within the district where the post- 
 office is situated, and 5 kis. (»ut of this district to 
 any part of Austria and the German empire. 
 
 A letter that has not been prepaid is likewise 
 forwarded to its destiiuition , but whoever receives it 
 must pay besides the proper postage, an extra fine of 
 5 krs. a I.oth. The Post-office is open daily from 
 8 o'clock in the morning till 1) o'clock m the evening. 
 
 The Central Telegraph - Office , Kenngasse 5 ; 
 branch establishments: at the general Post-office and 
 the branch offices of the Post; there is besides a Pri- 
 vate Telegraph-Office especially for the local service. 
 — More than 40 stations are within the lines and 
 about 50 in the suburbs. 
 
 Rai!roads. 
 
 The Northern Railway (Kaiser Ferdinands-Nord- 
 bahn) dates from 1836. The terminus is at the left 
 of the Praterstern (see p. 56). This is one of the 
 
 Railroads. 
 
 Ill 
 
 most frequented railway lines in Germany and which 
 establishes communications between the metropolis and 
 all the most important towns of Northern Germany, 
 Poland and Northern Hungary. It runs in a straight 
 line to Oderberg, where it joins the Prussian Railway 
 (in Silesia). The Direction-offices are at the terminus; 
 - the forwarding-office (for tickets and luggage), Zed- 
 litzgasse 5. 
 
 The Western Railway (Kaiserin Elisabeth-West- 
 bahn), inaugurated on the 15"* December 1858 esta- 
 blishes a line of communication between Vienna and 
 Upper Austria and between Southern and Western Ger- 
 many. It is the direct road )>etweeu Vienna and Paris. 
 Central-office at the terminus, without the Mariahilf 
 gate; — Forwarding-office, Seilerstatte 2. 
 
 The Southern Railway (Siidbahn), dates from 
 1837 and communicates with the south of the empire 
 and Italy. The art displayed in overcoming the diffi- 
 culties with which the opening of this beautiful road 
 over the Semmering was attended and its picturesque 
 position, are sufficient attractions to invite the stranger 
 residing in Vienna to make a day's excursion to this 
 mountain. 
 
 The Southern Railway has branch lines between 
 Modling and Laxenburg, and between Neustadt and 
 Oedenburg. Its terminus is outside the Favoriten-Liuie 
 (Wieden) where the Central Direction has its seat. — 
 Forwarding-office: Kolowratring. Not far from the 
 Southern Railway terminus is that of 
 
 The State Railway (k. k. Staatsbahn), communi- 
 cates with Hungary on both shores of the Danube, 
 and in northern direction with Moravia and Bohemia. 
 
 The office in the city is Schulhof 6, but no tickets 
 are forwarded here.

 The Austrian North - Western Railway (Nord- 
 Westbahn), dates from 1872, communicates with Bo- 
 hemia (the shortest way to Prague) and middle Ger- 
 many. — The terminus is in the Leopoldstadt , near 
 the Augarten. 
 
 The Francis -Joseph's Railway (Franz Josephs- 
 Bahn), dates from 1871, communicates with Bo~ 
 hemia (Express-trains to the renowned bohemian Bathes) 
 with middle and northern Germany. — The terminus 
 is in the Alsergrund near the Canal of the Danube. — 
 
 Forwarding-office: Backerstrasse 7. 
 
 The junction of the Northern Railway to the 
 Southern is established by a small branch-line which 
 traverses the suburb Landstrasse, passes before the 
 Custom-house, crosses one arm of the Danube and part 
 of the Prater and enters the station of the Northern 
 Railway. — Another branch -line starting at Hetzeu- 
 dorf and passing through Lainz and Speising unites 
 the Southern to the Western Railway. 
 
 Steam-Navigation on the Danube. 
 
 The Central - Office and Direction, Landstrasse^ 
 Dampfschiffgasse 2, dates from 1830 when the com- 
 pany began active service with only one steam -boat. 
 They now dispose of 120 paddle steam-boats, 30 screw 
 steam -boats, 522 iron boats for the conveyance of 
 goods, and 16 iron transport-boats for conveying cattle. 
 — The service of the boats extends on the Danube 
 from Donauworth to Galatz, on the Theiss, from Tokay, 
 on the Save from Sissek, and on the Drave from Esseg, 
 to the very mouth of these various rivers. 
 
 The company has besides, in conjunction with 
 the Austrian Lloyd and the Czernawoda-Kustendje line, 
 organised a quick and direct line of communication 
 
 
 between Vienna, Pesth and Constantinople, and is 
 likewise connected with the Russian company of steam- 
 boats, which take up passengers at Galatz and conveys 
 them over to Odessa. 
 
 Steam navigation on the Danube has, like the 
 Austrian Railways, been got up by a company of Share- 
 holders. 
 
 The landing-place for steamers sailing up the Da- 
 nube is Nussdorf ; — for those sailing down the river, 
 it is at the Kaisermiihlen. Passengers wishing to sail 
 up the Danube are conveyed to Nussdorf on small boats 
 that are stationed along the Franz-Josepli's quay. Pas- 
 sengers wishing to sail down the Danube are conveyed 
 in small boats starting from the Weissgiirber to the 
 Kaisermiihlen. 
 
 Since 1873, 10 small steamers are plying every 
 hour between the Maria Theresiabriicke, and the Josephs- 
 briicke at the Prater. Every two hours a steamer plies 
 between Klosterneuburg and Kaisor-Ebersdorf. 
 
 Hackney-Coaches, Cabs, Omnibuses. 
 
 Hackney-coaches (Stadt-Lohnkutscher) , without a 
 number, are to be procured at the society: Miethwagen- 
 Geselischaft, Giselastrasse 4. The charge for the hire 
 of such a coach with four seats, for half a day is, 
 within the town-gates, 5 flor. ; outside the town-gates, 
 6 to 8 flor., and 1 flor. to the coachman. 
 
 The Vienna cabs enjoy, on account of their cele- 
 rity, no small celebrity, and the cabmen are not only 
 most able drivers, but they are so well acquainted 
 with the town and suburbs that the most implicit re- 
 liance may be placed in them. The cabs are numbered 
 
 VIENNA.

 and stationed at their respective stands along some of 
 the principal thorougfares from 7 o'clock a. m. till 
 midnight. — Although a list of fares is affixed to the 
 internal part of the coach, it is advisable to agree 
 before hand with the cabman as to the amount of faro 
 he will charge, particularly so when for a long drive. 
 
 The usual rate of fare charged is as follows: 
 
 An hours's drive ^ "• ^^' 
 
 For each extra half an hour's drive... — „ 50 „ 
 
 This charge holds good for any time of the day 
 between 7 o'clock a. m. till 11 o'clock p.m. 
 
 From 11 o'clock in the night till 7 o'clock m 
 the morning the rate is the half more. 
 
 The one-horse cabs are termed Comfortahlcs (they 
 Bcrvc as a substitute for Hansomc cabs). A list of 
 fares is likewise (according to time , not to distance) 
 affixed to the interior of the coach. 
 
 A quarter of an hour's drive 40 krs. 
 
 Half an hour's drive . 50 „ 
 
 For each extra quarter of an hour's drive 20 „ 
 (at night, i e. from 10 o'clock p. m. till 6 o'clock 
 a. m. 45 kreuzors). 
 
 One minute past a quarter of an hour is consi- 
 dered as a new quarter of an hour,. and must be paid 
 
 consequently. 
 
 Whenever a cabman pretends more than his tare, 
 
 uses coarse language, or in any way behaves rudely 
 
 to a stranger, the best thing is not to pay him at all, 
 
 hut write down the number of his cab and cite him 
 
 before the police (Petersplatz 10), where it is sufficient 
 
 to reveal the number of the cab. The two parties are 
 
 then summoned to appear the next day. and the cause 
 
 of disagreement between them is amicably settled by 
 
 the Commissary of Police. 
 
 Omnibuses traverse Vienna in all directions and 
 ore extremely numerous, perhaps too numerous for 
 the comfort of loiterers. Therefore they are not allo- 
 wed to halt in any of the narrow streets of the city 
 in order to take up passengers, except at Stephans- 
 pJaf^, at the Hof, at the Frchuig, 'and at the Peters- 
 platz; — their fare is 12 krs.; — to the Exhibition 
 20 krs. — There are above 1500 omnibuses in Vienna. 
 Those that ply between the town and the railway stations 
 have their stand in Steith(msx)latz. 
 
 The omnibuses plying between the town and the 
 beautiful environs of Vienna, which in summer arc very- 
 much resorted to, are likewise very numerous and are 
 stationed at the following places: 
 
 For I)dbJi}ig, at the Hof, Frciung. 
 
 Vonihach, at the Hof, Judenplatz.

 The Tramway plying between the Praterstern 
 and Hietzing. Bornhach and Dohling , traverses the 
 Eingstrasse 'dnd the Franz Joseph' s-Quni. Since 1873 
 there are the following enibranchements: from the 
 Stubenrhuj passing the Radetzkybrucke and Sophien- 
 briicke to the Rondeau in the Prater; from the Sehwar- 
 senbergplatz to the Terminus of the Southern Rail- 
 wag; from the Xassdorferstrasse , passing the Ter- 
 minus of the Franz Joseph's-, the North Western- and 
 the Northern Railway to the Fraterstern. 
 
 The waggons set off in very short intervals to 
 all directions; the fare from the Praterstern to any 
 point within the town-gates is 10 kr.; to Hietzing and 
 Dornbach 20 kr. ; to Dobling 15 kr. 
 
 Porters. At every corner of the main thorough- 
 fares are stationed several of these men whose occu- 
 pation it is to be sent on errands for the small retri- 
 bution of from 20 to 40 krenzers, according to distance. 
 On being employed, they must give their employer a 
 mark bearing a number and this number must corre- 
 spond to that they wear on their coats. Twenty kreu- 
 zers is the usuaf charge for any message or errand 
 within district. The offices of the chief institutions 
 are: Lowelstrasse 17 {Folkmann); — Backerstrasse 14 
 
 (Express). 
 
 Porters attached to the different hotels (Lohn- 
 diener) charge 2 fl. for half a day's attendance and 
 4 fl. for the whole day. Sent on an errand, the 
 charge varies from 40 to 50 krs., according to distance.

 Wine merchants. 
 
 The best Austrian Wines are: the Gumpolds- 
 kirchen, Bisamberg and VOslau; they are not unlike 
 Hock -Wine. The Hungarian wines are very strong 
 and although wholesome in Hungary, they do not agree 
 with the climate of Vienna. Persons fond of these 
 wines will find ditferent sorts of them in the Esterhazy- 
 Cellars (Haarhof) open daily from 11 to 1 and from 
 5 to 8. Comfort is not to be looked for in these 
 premises, which arc however visited by numerous 
 foreigners.

 Owing to 
 
 The Environs of Vienna. 
 
 The environs of the Austrian Metropolis may be said 
 to be surpassed in beauty only by those of Naples or Con- 
 stantinople. . . 
 
 The irroi^ular oval plain on which Vienna is seated is 
 boun-led to the east by the Carpathian mountains and to 
 the west by the undulating hills of the Kahlenberg, Leo- 
 pold sberg, Cobcnzcl, etc. Northward of the town Hows the 
 Danube. The wojdcd hills on the right bank of the river 
 greatly serve to embellish the landscape, whilst on the left, 
 which in a picturesque point of view oilers nothing remark- 
 able, the vast plain of the Marchfeld discloses itself to 
 view. It Avas on this very Marchfyld that the fate of the 
 empire more ihan once was decided, and here many a Moody 
 contest betweon Ottokar, king of Bohemia and Kodolph of 
 llabsburg, and the battles of Aspern, Essling and Wagram 
 
 have been foui,'ht, . j * 
 
 excessive beat and very unpleasant dust 
 are prevalent in the town, most of the 
 W.X...VO. .c.^.wv. who Ccin aflord it spend the summer 
 months in the country. Thus it is that the villages situated 
 at a small distance from the Capital boast in summer of a 
 mixed population, viz. of citizens and peasants, who by-the- 
 by do not always live on the best terms. The railways or 
 omnibuses will take the stranger to any of these places (see 
 for omnibuses page 115). 
 
 The first place the stranger should visit is Schonbrunn 
 and its Imperial Palace, whither plenty of omnibuses, star- 
 ting every quarter of an hour from Pctorsplatz , as well as 
 the Tramway will convey him. The actual building was 
 built by Maria-Theresa (1744). The imperial palace contains 
 1440 rooms and 140 kitchens. 
 
 The park, in the taste of that of Versailles, is always 
 open to the public. Behind the pond rises the „Gloriette« 
 from the top of which a beautiful view of the town may be 
 obtained. Here are a menagerie and a botanical garden to 
 
 which in

 A great number of omnibuses and the Tramway establisli 
 a communication between Vienna and the vilhiges west of 
 Vienna, such as: JJombach, witli its beautiful park, the 
 property of Prince Schwarzenberg , Keuwaldegf) , Potzleins- 
 dorf and Gersthof. 'JMie valley of Dornbach is. owin^^ to 
 the delightful position it occupies, reputed to be one of the 
 most enchanting s])ots in the vicinity of Vienna. Doling, 
 Sievrhtg, GrinzuKj and HciUgenstadt form another series 
 of villages at tlie foot of the mountains Ka/denbenj and 
 LeopoUaberg, whose sides like the greater part of the adja- 
 cent country, are covered with vineyards, while their sum- 
 mits are crowned with woods and dwelling-houses. On the 
 top of the Kahlenberg stood in former times a convent of 
 Camaldule monks; since 1873 there is established an hotel 
 which commands a splendid view. The Leopoldsberg, 1356 feet 
 high, boasted under the Romans of a fortress which was at 
 a later period destroyed by hords of barbarians. The Mar- 
 graves of Babenberg at dillerent epochs caused a fortified 
 castle to be erected on the same spot, which Avas subse- 
 quently demolished to i>revent the Turks from using it as 
 an entrenchment. Leopold caused a chapel to be built liere, 
 but the same was subsequently destroyed by the Turks in 
 1683 and rebuilt in 1G93. From the gallery of the chapel 
 and the terrace of the castle a most beautiful vieAv of the 
 town, some of its environs, and the jJanube winding its 
 course through the landscape, may be gained Niissdorf is 
 situated at tlie foot of this mountain and on tlie banks of 
 the river; a little higher up the Danube is the Terminus 
 of the new liadway which comunicates with the Kcdi- 
 lenberg. — Klosterxeuburg , possessed of a monastery of 
 Augustine Prebendaries, contains a great many artistical 
 and historical curiosities, and higher up the river, the ruins 
 oi Grei fen stein are worthy of notice. From the heights of 
 the hills Kobenzl, Himmel and Hermannshoqel a beautiful 
 view may likewise be obtained of Vienna and its environs. 
 
 With these heights, the valley of Kirling, and Weid- 
 ling we terminate our tour through the interesting places 
 in the country surrounding Vienna, though not without 
 previously directing the attention of the traveller to the won- 
 ders of the Semmering and Schneeberg (mountains), tlie 
 latter 6500 feet above the level of the sea. Although this 
 part of the country is too distant to be annoverated among 
 
 VIEN.NA. 9

 Environs- 
 
 the sites in the vicinity of the metropolis, yet conimunica' 
 tions have been rendered so easy by the Southern Railway 
 plying between them, that the traveller should not leave 
 Vienna without seeing them; — the Simmering on account 
 of the objects of art it possesses, and the Schneeberg on 
 account of the splendid view which may be obtained trom 
 
 its glorious crest. .„ ^ , ^v x 
 
 A branch line of the same railway will take the stranger 
 to M6dli}i(j, an ancient town possessing two interesting old 
 churches; thence, in an eastern direction, to Laxenburg one 
 of the imperial summer residences generally known on ac- 
 count of the splendid palace and paik it contains^ Here 
 are to be seen: the Loivenlrncke (Lion's bridge\ the i ischer- 
 dorf, the Forsthaus, the Bittergau, with tlie knight's mo- 
 nument, dating from more than 6 centuries, the Rdtergruft, 
 the Fratfzehshury, where a great many historical curiosities 
 are stored up, a large pond, etc. From JModling, m a south- 
 eastern direction , lies the Briiiil , a most romantic valley 
 between two rows of high rocks surmounted with a torest 
 of lofty pine trees. On several of its heights artificial ruins 
 have been constructed by express desire of Prince John 
 Liechtenstein. Two of these ruins however are genuine, 
 those of the ancient fortified castles of MOdlnnj ^w^ Liech- 
 tenstein, the former of which was for some considerable 
 length of time the residence of the Princes of the house ot 
 
 Babenberg. 
 
 After having passed Giimpoldi-hnclien, where tlie ex- 
 cellent wine bearing the same name is produced, the railway 
 will take ore to Fadot, the most celebrated watering place 
 in Austria. Baden ofiers but little of interest to the stran- 
 ger, except the beauty of its situation and its thermal wa- 
 ters which seem to be a very good remedy for Rlieumatisra. 
 The great number of persons who go there to take the baths 
 does not amount to one third of those jubilant Viennese, 
 who on holidays set forth from Vienna to explore the beau- 
 tiful country surrounding Baden. Worth seeing is the 
 „Eiseme TAor" ■ Iron Gate) two german miles from Baden. 
 — In this direction tliere remains only the village of Hei- 
 ligenkreuz to be mentioned with its old Cistercian monastery 
 which latter was founded by ALargrave Leopold in 1134.
