A Glimpse of Some Viennese Architecture in Black and White - [ENG - GER]
Hello dear Hivers!
This post is about Viennese architecture I captured today while I was in the 1st District. My appointment was supposed to be in the morning. Shortly before I was to get off from the U1 train, an assistant called me up and said that my X-ray appointment was canceled because of a machine breakdown. Instead of going home, I took a walk in and around the 1st District and took photos of some architectural gems. These are just a few of the snapshots I made along my way.
German Version
Hallo liebe Hivers!
In diesem Beitrag geht es um Wiener Architektur, die ich heute im 1. Bezirk fotografiert habe. Mein Termin sollte am Vormittag sein. Kurz bevor ich aus der U1 aussteigen wollte, rief mich eine Assistentin an und sagte, dass mein Röntgentermin wegen eines Maschinenausfalls abgesagt wurde. Anstatt nach Hause zu gehen, machte ich einen Spaziergang im und um den 1. Bezirk und fotografierte einige architektonische Perlen. Dies sind nur einige der Schnappschüsse, die ich auf meinem Weg gemacht habe.

This was said to be erected in the 13th century and was the residence of the Habsburgs until 1918. It has private chambers and has huge representation rooms used by the imperial family. It is now used as the official residence of the President of the Austrian Federal Republic.

A Roman Catholic church located in the city center, dubbed as the heart of Vienna. It was erected during the Medieval Era and referred to as the landmark of Vienna and considered a national Austrian shrine. It is the Metropolitan Church of the Archbishop of Vienna.

Minoritenkirche is also a Roman Catholic church which was built under the Gothic architecture style. This was officially opened in 1350 and it is the home to Vienna´s Italian community. Since 2021, it is owned by the Fraternity of Priests of St. Pius. Located in the Minoritenplatz, it is just behind the building used by the Austria's Chancellor.

This church is located in Mariahilfer Straße 24, in the 7th District of Vienna.
Based on its history, the church was built in 1739, it had evolved with a few restorations and was restored in 1882 as well as in the beginning of the 20th Century.

Its architecture is a mixture of the late Romanesque and Gothic Style. The history of this church is kind of vague. It was said to be erected sometime in 1220-1240, which according to a document, the church's foundation had been in 1221. The church is located in the Michaelerplatz just opposite The Hofburg.
Ihre Architektur ist eine Mischung aus spätromanischem und gotischem Stil. Die Geschichte dieser Kirche ist etwas vage. Es heißt, dass sie irgendwann zwischen 1220 und 1240 errichtet wurde, wobei die Gründung der Kirche laut einer Urkunde im Jahr 1221 stattfand. Die Kirche befindet sich auf dem Michaelerplatz, direkt gegenüber der Hofburg.

The beautiful entrance of Palais Dietrichstein... the Palais was erected in 1755 and is located at the back of Minoritenkirche. Most of the entrances of such old Palais are designed with great sculptures like these.

It is located at the Heldenplatz (Heroes Plaza) and is part of the Horburg Ensemble. Its balcony had been a controversial one because it was here that Hitler addressed his speech to the people of Austria when he occupied the country during the 2nd World War.
Sie befindet sich am Heldenplatz und ist Teil des Horburg-Ensembles. Sein Balkon war umstritten, weil Hitler hier seine Rede an das österreichische Volk hielt, als er das Land während des 2. Weltkriegs besetzte.
