Vienna Künstlerhaus
Vienna Künstlerhaus

The Künstlerhaus in Vienna's 1st district has accommodated the Künstlerhaus Vereinigung since 1868. It is located in the Ringstrassenzone in between Akademiestraße, Bösendorferstraße and Musikvereinsplatz. The building was erected between 1865 and 1868 and has served as an exhibition space and an event venue ever since. In 2015, shares were split between two proprietors, with the Haselsteiner Familien-Privatstiftung as the majority shareholder and the Künstlerhaus Vereinigung, Gesellschaft bildender Künstlerinnen und Künstler Österreichs, the oldest existing artists' association in Austria, as the minority shareholder. In 1949 a cinema moved into the western wing of the building. As of 2013, this cinema is operated as Stadtkino im Künstlerhaus and is one of the screening venues for the annual Viennale film festival. Additionally, a theatre was established in the eastern wing in 1974, which was last operated by the brut until 2017. Between autumn 2016 and spring 2020, the Künstlerhaus faced a major renovation. During the reconstruction the former Altmann'sche Textilfabrik in Vienna-Margareten (Stolberggasse 26) served as its temporary accommodation. The newly refurbished Künstlerhaus was reopened on 6 March 2020. Today, the Künstlerhaus Vereinigung presents its exhibitions on the upper-floor of the building, while the Albertina Modern, which first opened its doors on 27 May 2020, shows/displays exhibitions on the ground- and underground-floor. Thus, the Künstlerhaus is now home to two independent cultural institutions.

Karlsplatz Stadtbahn Station
Karlsplatz Stadtbahn Station

Karlsplatz Stadtbahn Station is a former station of the Viennese Stadtbahn. The buildings above ground on Karlsplatz are a well-known example of Jugendstil architecture. These buildings were included in The Vienna Secession, as they followed many of the artistic styles of that movement. They were designed by Otto Wagner, adviser to the Transport Commission in Vienna, and Joseph Maria Olbrich and are, unlike the other Stadtbahn stations, made of a steel framework with marble slabs mounted on the exterior. These stations allowed Otto Wagner to achieve his goal of creating two modern axes of architecture in a city that was becoming one of the most modern cities of its time.[1] These buildings went on to become the most modern monument of the modern city.[2] Architectural critic and poet Friedrich Achleitner commented on the Stadtbahn stations as follows "...In these two station buildings Wagner reached a highpoint of his dialectic (in his planning of the Stadtbahn) between function and poetry, construction and decoration, whereby a severe rationalism engages in competition with an almost Secessionist kind of decoration." [3]The station was opened as Academiestraße in 1899 (1899). When the Stadtbahn line was converted to U-Bahn in 1981, the original station was scheduled to be demolished. As a result of public outcry, it was decided to keep the station buildings. Both buildings were disassembled, renovated, and then reassembled two metres (6 ft 7 in) higher than their original location after completion of U-Bahn construction. One of the buildings is now used as an exhibition space by the Vienna Museum, with an U-Bahn entrance in its rear; the other is used as a café.
