City Hall Vienna
Our magnificent city hall in the heart of Vienna
The Vienna City Hall, built from 1872 to 1883 by Friedrich von Schmidt, previously cathedral architect in Cologne, is the most important non-church building in Vienna in the neo-Gothic style.
The tower height is 97.9 m, plus the so-called "Iron Town Hall Man", which measures 3.40 m, with the standard 6 m, and has become a Viennese landmark. Shoe size: 63. The Vienna City Hall is the official residence of the mayor and the meeting place of the City Senate/State Government and the Municipal Council/State Parliament.The City Hall was built from 1872 to 1883 and is a building of superlatives: around 30 million bricks and more than 40,000 cubic meters of natural stone were used. The arcade courtyard of the town hall is one of the largest courtyards in Europe with 2,804 m². The banquet hall is 71 meters long, 20 meters wide and 18.5 meters high. If it were permitted by fire regulations, 1,500 couples could waltz here at the same time. Definitely a visit worth it!
