The bread factory in the Viennese district of Favoriten was founded in 1891 and was the largest bakery in Europe until the interwar period.
Since 2009, a loft project with multifunctional halls, galleries, studios, showrooms and offices has been under construction on the disused oldest part of the factory site, in the immediate vicinity of the still existing bread and pastry production of Ankerbrot. By attracting cultural institutions such as Hilger Next, OstLicht, Anzenberger Lichterloh and Deutsche Pop, the site is rapidly becoming a decentralized cultural hot spot.
The former Anker Expedition Hall regularly hosts theater, dance and music performances, as well as exhibitions. During the revitalization, care was taken not only to preserve the listed historic buildings. A modern infrastructure was achieved by staircases and elevator towers in exposed concrete, which represent a deliberate contrast to the industrial architecture of the 19th century in brick optics.
Size of the entire site: 16.000 m², size of former anchor expedition hall: 2.200 m² (no columns).
Capistrangasse in the 6th district runs from Mariahilferstraße to Fillgradergasse. The alley was named 1906 (former Windmühlgasse) after the Saint Johannes Capistran (1386-1456).

Hotel Bristol, by tradition a source of inspiration, enchants and mesmerises. George Gershwin wrote here his “An American in Paris”, Catherine Deneuve shot scenes for a film in the bar, opera singer Nellie Melba was the inspiration for the sweet temptation of the famous Peach Melba ice-cream dessert, and the Prince of Wales even brought his beloved Wallis Simpson to Vienna, but in doing so evidently lost not only his heart, but also his crown.
Hotel Bristol with its unique location vis-à-vis the Vienna State Opera, has been one of Vienna’s prime addresses ever since 1892. Artists, stars, monarchs and business travellers have long appreciated the comfort, delightful service and cosmopolitan flair of the hotel. There is no better place from which to immerse yourself here and now in VIENNA, capital of music, incomparable metropolis and former imperial city.
Hotel Bristol is an art deco gem. With the judicious integration of modern design, the hotel offers an ambience that captivates guests with its stylish charm and deeprooted history. Legendary and famous: the striking stairway up to the suites with a view of the Vienna State Opera, the valuable original paintings and antiques, and naturally the open hearth in the lounge. Equally noteworthy is the American Bar. Going out or coming home, Hotel Bristol is a popular home base and meeting place.
The majestic Hotel Imperial and its sumptuous surroundings were originally created in 1863 as the Prince of Württemberg’s Viennese residence. Overlooking the historic Ring Boulevard in central Vienna, the building was transformed into a hotel to accommodate discerning visitors of the 1873 World’s Fair. Truly the palace of a prince, the façade is Italian Neo Renaissance with emblematic details.
Atop the building is a stone balustrade that elegantly frames a group of allegorical animals from the Württemberg coat of arms. The portal group is dominated by four impressive statues that are equally symbolic. The original entrance, flanked by two stone sentry boxes, was wide enough to accommodate a two-horse drawn carriage.
The interior furnishings of the Hotel Imperial artfully showcase the 19th Century romance of Vienna with pristine marble, hand carved statues, and spectacular crystal chandeliers. The time-honored Imperial Restaurant and Kaffeehaus Café Imperial Wien have accommodated many famous authors and composers.
Inside the lobby, a Royal Staircase leading up to suites and rooms is lit by magnificent chandeliers that sparkle and shimmer from high stucco ceilings radiating aristocratic flair. Private balconies offer splendid views of the roofs and spires of old Vienna.
Hotel opened in 2012, historic former home of the Mautner Markhof family, large 700m² glass-roofed lobby, historic wine cellar, seminar rooms and rooms for events, private underground parking.

Gustav Klimt’s works have become part of an international round of motifs, but where exactly did he complete his paintings? His studio, from 1911 until his death in 1918, was in what is now known as the Klimt Villa in Vienna.

The house, which itself has a colorful history, has been revitalized for the current Klimt Year. There is a permanent exhibition featuring Klimt’s studio – the only one of his former ateliers in Vienna.

Located in the heart of one of Vienna’s oldest and most beautiful areas, the first district, you will find the famous Palais Ferstel. The young architect Heinrich von Ferstel created this Palais between 1856 and 1860 while he was captivated by the impressions of a long visit to Italy. The unique combination of Venetian-Florentine Trecento architecture with classic ashlar masonry has rendered this building one of Vienna’s grandest and most interesting examples of Wilhelminian-style architecture. At the time of its opening in 1860, the Palais Ferstel was the newest design in Vienna. The stylish rooms and the glass-covered yard not only briefly housed the Vienna Stock Exchange and the Austro-Hungarian National Bank but also provided a suitable ambience for the famous Cafe Central which became the hub of Europe’s intellectual elite towards the end of the 19th Century. Today the Palais Ferstel still captures one’s imagination with its perfect combination of various architectural styles and represents a refreshing symbiosis of impressive architecture in a classical surrounding with state-of-the-art facilities. Its sympathetic restoration, which remained true to the original down to the very last detail, has returned the building to its former splendour. At the same time, all the requirements of contemporary living have been fully taken into consideration.

The University of Vienna was founded by Duke Rudolph IV in 1365. It is the oldest university in the German-speaking world and one of the largest in Central Europe. The academic institutions of the University of Vienna are spread over more than 60 locations, its centre being the historic Main building on Wiener Ringstraße. It houses the university management, library, administrative institutions, various departments and some of the deans’ offices, as well as many lecture rooms and the Audimax, the largest lecture hall of the entire university.

The water tower was built in 1898/99 and supplied the high-lying areas of the 10th and 12th districts of Vienna with drinking water. This task was taken over a few years later by the II. Wiener Hochquellenleitung, which went into operation in 1910. From this time on, the tower was used occasionally, for example when the II. Hochquellenleitung had to be drained for maintenance work. Since 1956, the water tower was no longer in use for water supply.
Between 1988 and 1990, the water tower was completely renovated by the Viennese "Wasserwerke". The reconstruction of the roof ornaments was particularly complex. The ornaments of the roof were reconstructed from the original glazed tiles in 5 colors.
From the roof space of the water tower one reaches the observation platform via a 13 m high spiral staircase. The conical roof rises steeply 60 degrees and consists of a steel construction. On the outside of the top of the tower there is a 1 m wide walkway. At a height of 48 m, it offers an impressive view over Vienna.
The centerpiece of the Water Tower is an 8.1 m high water tank for 1,000 cubic meters of drinking water. This tank is supported at a height of 25.5 m by an inner ring wall. Today, the water tank can no longer be filled, as it is no longer connected to the Vienna water supply network.
At the same time as the tower, the adjacent turbine house was built.
Its characteristic red-brick facade renders Vienna’s Stock Exchange at the Schottenring one of the most important monumental structures of the world-famous Ringstraße built in the 19th Century. The Stock Exchange was commissioned by Emperor Franz Joseph I and constructed between 1871 and 1877 by the Danish architect Theophil von Hansen. Until 1998 it housed the Vienna Stock Exchange.
Since its grand opening in 1877 this magnificent building of such historic value has been the centrepiece of the Ringstraße. With an air of congeniality the renowned architect Theophil von Hansen combined the requirements of the trading floor with accompanying social events, turning the magnificent setting of the Vienna Stock Exchange into a sophisticated hub of both financial and social life.
After a fire in 1956 the Ballroom which can be hired for special occasions was meticulously renovated down to every last detail. Theophil von Hansen’s work is characterized by the grandiose, yet rich-in-detail design of this room which provides a stately frame for major festive events.
