Sunny and solidly in the low-30s C (mid- to upper-80s F) today, and there’s more heat on the way for Vienna tomorrow. Meanwhile, I’m in the city’s 13th district, also known as Hietzing. I’m either walking the streets among villas, mansions, bungalows, and 20th-century apartments; or in narrow paths among graves in another more modest cemetery.
One of Otto Wagner’s architectural creations for the city railway: that beautiful station-font!
Towards the other end of Schönbrunn station.
Schönbrunn station: “Track 1, to trains in the direction of Heiligenstadt.”
Schönbrunn station: “Track 2, to trains in the direction of Hütteldorf.”
Imperial Court Pavilion at Hietzing: designed by Otto Wagner and solely for imperial use. The Emperor Franz Josef I, already wary of things “new”, only used the station twice. The pavilion interior is open to the public on weekends; more about the pavilion here.
The regulation of the Vienna river was completed in conjunction and in parallel with the city railway. Otto Wagner had a lot on his plate. This view is from street-level outside Hietzing station.
Gloriettegasse 20.
Present-day secondary school (GRG13) on Wenzgasse 7. This was the location Berta Karlik attended secondary school between 1919 and 1923, and later, joined the research staff at the University of Vienna.
Apartment building at Larochegasse 37.
Well-known in Vienna and Austria, stage- and screen-actor Hans Moser used to live in this villa at Hügelgasse 2, which today is the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
Located just west of Hietzing station is Hans Moser Park. The building at right is the district hall for districts 13 (Hietzing) and 14 (Penzing). Image at 0.5x.
At the west side of Hans Moser Park is this memorial statue to Hans Moser (1880-1964).
I returned to Hietzing cemetery to look for the Knips family grave created by Josef Hoffmann. I quickly breezed through the cemetery to say ‘hello’ to …
… artist Gustav Klimt …
… and Otto Wagner.
Otto Wagner has his architectural fingerprints all over Vienna. It’s worth some time to look for some or all of these, if you’re wondering about his massive impact on the city’s evolution in the early 20th-century.
I made all images above with an iPhone15 on 18 Jun 2024. This post composed with Jetpack for iOS appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com.
