Tips

  • Hochstrahlbrunnen from 1873, Vienna
    The Hochstrahlbrunnen is a fountain in Vienna. It is located on Schwarzenbergplatz and was put into operation on October 24, 1873 in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph I after a construction period of four months to mark the completion of the first Vienna high-altitude spring water pipeline.
    Anton Gabrielli, the water pipeline's contractor, donated 200,000 crowns to build the fountain, which was commissioned by the city of Vienna and built by the contractor Gustav Bruck.
    In 1886/87, extensive considerations were made about regulating Schwarzenbergplatz and, associated with this, about redesigning the Hochstrahlbrunnen. The designs by the important sculptors Viktor Tilgner (1844–1896)[4] and Rudolf Weyr (1847–1914) were presented to the public in the Vienna Künstlerhaus from the end of January 1887, but no decision was made in their favor.
    The fountain was later converted into a light fountain in the style of a Fontaine lumineuse by the architect Oskar Marmorek (1863-1909) at a cost of 285,000 crowns, which was opened on June 23, 1906. At night it glows in the colors red, pink, yellow, violet, blue and green.
