Parts of me will belong to and stay with these Vienna city districts: Mariahilf, the 6.; Leopoldstadt, the 2.; and Alsergrund, the 9. But, the 10. is also a favourite, described in part by these images in Favoriten from today.
Hauptbahnhof (central station): Markuslöwe (St. Mark’s Lion), in front of ticketing offices. Completed in 2015, the Hauptbahnhof was built at the site of the city’s former Südbahnhof (south station, 1874-1945), whose roof was once home to eight of these winged-lion sculptures.
The Südbahnhof had been home to the first-ever direct train service from Vienna to Venice. A symbol for Venice is the Lion of St. Mark.
ÖBB (Austria national rail) regional trains at Hauptbahnhof, as I was on my way to Vienna’s 23rd district.
The Amalienbad is one of Vienna’s indoor swimming-pools, housed in this 1926 structure at Reumannplatz. Damaged during the 2nd World War, renovations took place in the early-1980s and completed by 1986.
Next to and over tram-stop Knöllgasse.
In this “0.5x” view, there’s a dark grey skeletal figure, Death, at lower-right, holding a scythe with a long curved blade in grey.
