Alliiertenhof

The Allied Courtyard, built in 1897 for the textile industrialist Julius Leon von Wernburg, replaced the building „Zu den drei Allierten“ („To the Three Allies“) that had been there before. The name refers to the ceremonial entry of the 3 emperors Franz I, Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia and the Russian Tsar Alexander I on the occasion of the opening of the Congress of Vienna on September 25, 1814 in Vienna. As a reminder, on the 1st floor you can still see the clearly visible relief of the allied rulers.

The building – erected by Ludwig Tischler, a busy architect in Vienna – impresses with its strikingly structured facade in the form of bay windows and balconies. An originally existing dome – today indicated by a metal construction – and the prominent location make the Alliiertenhof a real eye-catcher in Leopoldstadt.
