24T44 Vienna’s Cottage Quarter

E43 V10

I spend a few afternoon hours walking the streets of this neighbourhood, admiring the villas and mansions, and marveling over how architect and neighbourhood co-founder Heinrich Ferstel had intended the target audience to be mid- to upper-class families in the late 19th-century. It might be worthwhile to examine the “economic differences” between then and now. Alternatively, we can imagine how the lure of these quiet English-style spaces would surely have been tempting, as a means of escaping the hustle and bustle of the “inner city.”
