The town hall, built between 1872 and 1883, is the administrative heart of the city. The Wiener Festwochen are opened in the spring with a big ceremony on the square in front of the town hall.

The long history of Vienna City Hall slightly abridged.

After the old town hall in Wipplingerstrasse had become too small for the administration after the fall of the city wall and the incorporation of the suburbs (1850), an alternative had to be found. Due to the dismantling of the city wall and the glacis, as well as the simultaneous start of construction of the ring road, there was new building land in this area. In 1858, Emperor Franz Joseph I transferred the allocation of the grounds for the former fortifications to the city expansion fund (reported to the Ministry of the Interior).

This city expansion fund (1858 - 2017) offered the city several plots of land for the new construction of the town hall, including behind the stock exchange (approx. 7200 m²) and opposite the city park between Johannesgasse and Weihburggasse (approx. 14,600m²). Interesting - the square opposite St. Stephen's Cathedral, subsequently built on from 1866 with the "Haas-Haus" (Haas&Söhne carpet shop), was briefly discussed. The city finally decided, including an additional payment of 250,000 guilders, for the city park area, for which the construction tender was also issued in 1868.

As a result of construction delays, however, the building site was soon referred to as a "communal hole".
