Vanished Sites and Structures

The Wien Museum owns an extensive collection of topographical views that confer the city’s architectural assets from different periods. The album and key word “Vanished Sites and Structures” aims to accommodate interest in them. The keywording refers to objects that have been destroyed or broken following the demolition of the city walls and is to be understood as a work in progress. Cited as an example are the synagogues destroyed during the Nazi terror, war losses such as the Philipphof, and sites such as the “Holländerdorfl” on Hameau and the “Ratzenstadl.”
