Mozart Monument in Burggarten

At the same time as the Hofburggarten was being laid out, the first glass house was built by the court building director Ludwig von Remy, in which newly introduced plants, mainly from Asia and America, were planted. In 1881, areas in the northwestern part of the garden were given up for the construction of the New Hofburg. In 1901, Remy's old glass house was finally removed and a new glass house was erected according to Friedrich Ohmann's plans by the end of 1903 as a glass and iron construction with two stone corner avant-corps and a similar central avant-corps.The garden was not accessible to the public until the end of the monarchy.Today the Burggarten is one of the most popular areas in the city centre.The Ohmann glass house was completely renovated in 1998. Since then, the butterfly house with tropical plants and over 50 species of butterflies has been in the left wing, the middle part is used as a café-restaurant. The right wing serves as a winter house for the botanical collections of the Austrian Federal Gardens and is used for exhibitions and various events during the summer months.

1919, the plant was publicly accessible and briefly renamed the garden of the Republic and finally in Burggarten. Under the terrace in front of the New Castle 1988-1992 Tiefspeicher were created for the Austrian National Library.
