Leopoldstadt (German pronunciation: [ˈleːopɔltˌʃtat] (listen); Bavarian: Leopoidstod, "Leopold-Town") is the 2nd municipal district of Vienna (German: 2. Bezirk) in Austria. As of 1 January 2016, there are 103,233 inhabitants over 19.27 km2 (7 sq mi). It is situated in the heart of the city and, together with Brigittenau (20th district), forms a large island surrounded by the Danube Canal and, to the north, the Danube. It is named after Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor. Due to its relatively high percentage of Jewish inhabitants before the Holocaust (38.5 percent in 1923), Leopoldstadt gained the nickname Mazzesinsel ('Matzo Island'). This context was a significant aspect for the district twinning with the New York City borough Brooklyn in 2007.

The Rotunde (German: [roˈtʊndə]) in Vienna was a building erected for the Weltausstellung 1873 Wien (the Vienna World Fair of 1873). The building was a partially covered circular steel construction, 84 m (approx. 275 ft) in height and 108 m (approx. 354 ft) in diameter. For almost one century, it was the largest dome construction in the world, larger than the Pantheon in Rome (Not until 1957 was a larger dome built; this was the Belgrade Fair – Hall 1, and it was only 1 m larger in diameter.) It was designed by the Austrian architect Karl Freiherr von Hasenauer and built by the German company Johann Caspar Harkort of Duisburg. The Scottish engineer for the roof was John Scott Russell, who used 4,000 tons of steel with no ties.The central building of the World Fair was accepted enthusiastically by the public. It was used for shows and fairs later on. Alexander Girardi performed a concert in this hall. In 1898 a "Collektivausstellung österreichischer Automobilbauer" (Collective Exhibition of Austrian Carbuilders) was shown during the "Kaiser Franz Joseph Jubiläumsausstellung" (Emperor Franz Joseph Jubilee-Exhibition). The first four cars ever built in Austria-Hungary were shown there, amongst them the car built by Siegfried Marcus in 1888/89. The Rotunde burned down in 1937. Its former location is now occupied by a portal of the Vienna International Fair.

The Mannesmann Tower Vienna ( Mannesmann Tower, also called Messeturm ) was a 150 metres (490 ft) tall steel lattice tower with a triangular cross-section that was built in 1955 by the Mannesmann company on the exhibition grounds in Vienna. The Mannesmann tower was a gift from the Düsseldorf-based Mannesmann AG to the Vienna Trade Fair and was realized under the direction of Josef Fröhlich. It was built from seamless tubular steel. The manufacture of seamless steel tubes by rolling was a process developed by Mannesmann in 1885 and the term Mannesmann tube was synonymous with seamless steel tubes for many decades. Similar towers already existed in Düsseldorf (1954, 143 m), Sao Paulo (1954, 100 m) and other cities. During the night the tower was illuminated with neon lamps. A corner junction was specially exhibited at the foot so that the connection between the individual pipes could be seen. When Mannesmann exhibited at a trade fair in the 1950s and 1960s, it had its stand by this tower. It served the cellular and non-public mobile land radio service, including the radio of the medical emergency service. At the end of the 1950s, thought was given to erecting a meteorological measuring point on the tower in order to record ground inversions, as it protruded just above the level of the factory chimneys. Meteorological measuring stations were actually implemented and planned from the start at the Danube Tower. The tower was demolished in 1987.
