Schönlaterngasse 6

Schönlaterngasse (literally "Beautiful Lantern Street") in the 1st district of Vienna is named after the beautiful wrought-iron lantern in Schönlaterngasse 6. What you can see here is a copy, the originial is preserved in a museum.

 

Before the highly controversial introduction of house numbering under Maria Theresa this beautiful lantern used to be the house-sign distinguishing the house from other houses having other house-signs.
