It’s overcast today which is slightly disappointing not to get a final bout of good light. But the illumination while gray will be fairly even. I’m sticking to the 1st district today and see what I can find in a meander and stroll. No surprise a month goes quickly, as well as over 90% of my planned time in Europe having elapsed.
Schottenkirche (Scots Church & Foundation). There’s a Romanesque chapel with …
… one of the city’s oldest images of the Virgin Mary statue, c. 1250 CE.
Facing southeast from Freyung, towards the Austriabrunnen , Kunstforum, Park Hyatt, Stephansdom, Peterskirche.
Heidenschuss: c.1850 statue referring to a legend of a local baker who secretly dug tunnels below ground to expose the Ottoman Empire’s advanced lines of attack during their 1st Siege of Vienna in 1529.
Above the door at Tiefer Graben 8-10: where Beethoven lived from 1815 to 1817 and worked on pieces Opus 98, 101, 102, 106, 137.
In 2000, the City of Vienna officially unveiled its memorial to Jewish victims of the Holocaust with a sculpture by British artist Rachel Whiteread. Situated at Judenplatz, the memorial takes on the form of an “inverted library” whose books are placed spine facing inwards.
The books are placed with their spines inwards. There’s a model concept in Wien Museum Karlsplatz.
Stephansplatz, Stephansdom, and the usual crowds in late-afternoon.
Weeks in advance of my arrival, I purchased online a 31-day ticket for 51€ from the Wiener Linien (WL) transport authority. With a registered account, the WL mobile app included my digital ticket shown above. At a conversion of 1€=$1.6CAD, the ticket comes out to $2.70 daily.
Except for the screenshot, I made all other images with an iPhone15 on 29 July 2025. This post composed within Jetpack for iOS appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com.
