Vienna Stock Exchange on the Ring "History"
From 1861 the stock exchange was at the headquarters of the k.k. privileged Austrian National Bank, Strauchgasse 4, Vienna-Innere Stadt. In that year, the stock exchange chamber made the decision to build its own stock exchange building and purchased a 3240 m² building site for 180,000 guilders. When the spatial conditions had turned out to be no longer sustainable for the stock exchange, Theophil von Hansen's (1813–1891) great plan was accepted in 1869, which provided for 865,000 guilders for 8790 m² building site and a loan of five million had to be taken out for its implementation. Whereas at the beginning of 1867 the number of day visitors was between 900 and 1,000, it would reach 3,200 in 1873.
In addition to the detailed planning for the new building, care was taken to erect an emergency building: after a few delays, among other things due to a change in tax law, on May 6, 1872, the stock exchange operations moved to one next to the Rossauer barracks (then: Rudolphs barracks) on the later address Schottenring 19 by the Allgemeine Oesterreichische Baugesellschaft built in wood, temporary building until 1877.
The building planned by Theophil von Hansen, the winner of the architectural competition, was constructed from 1873 to 1877 by the plan author and the architect Carl Tietz (1831–1874) in the neo-renaissance style, a form of historicism (typical of the Ringstrasse). Hansen was building the parliament building on another section of the Ringstrasse at the same time.
On March 14, 1877, at the invitation of k.k. Finance Minister Sisinio von Pretis-Cagnodo visited the completed five million guilders [4] building with his visit. 3] in which he was guided through the house by the President of the Stock Exchange Chamber, Moriz Freiherrn Wodianer von Kapriora (1810–1885). [5] The first stock exchange meeting was held on March 19, 1877 [6] and the stock exchange business was fully taken up. Days beforehand, the new building could be viewed by the public on the basis of tickets issued free of charge, with the large stock exchange hall being fully illuminated in the evenings. The influx was so great that on the evening of March 17, 1877 Archduke Friedrich (1856–1936) had to refrain from visiting. A day later, Dom Pedro II (1825-1891), Emperor of Brazil, and his wife Teresa Maria Cristina of Naples-Sicily were guests in the new stock exchange.
On March 12, 1945, the east corner of the building was badly damaged by a bomb. The house was badly damaged in a major fire on April 13, 1956. During the subsequent restoration, the stock exchange hall (58.8 / 26.5 / 22.8 m) with eleven departments was not restored, but transformed into an inner courtyard, and stock exchange operations resumed on December 7, 1959.
From its construction to the move of Wiener Börse AG to the Palais Caprara-Geymüller at the end of 2001, the building was the seat of this institution. Today it is one of the many attractions on Vienna's Ringstrasse, and its halls are rented out for events. The building is owned by a foundation left by Karl Wlaschek in 2015.

In the 19th century, the Vienna Stock Exchange made guest appearances in the "Palais Dietrichstein" at Minoritenplatz 3 and in the "Palais Ferstel" at Herrengasse 14, where the Café Central is located today. The historic stock exchange building on Schottenring, designed by Theophil von Hansen, was inaugurated in 1877.
