Station Stadtpark
The station, designed by Otto Wagner, went into operation in June 1899 as part of the Vienna Stadtbahn (Wiener Stadtbahn). Today it is a station on the U4 underground line.
"The Vienna Stadtbahn [...] was a rail-based public transportation system operated under this name from 1898 until 1989. Today, the Vienna U-Bahn lines U4 and U6 and the Vienna S-Bahn (commuter rail) run on its former lines."*
The Stadtbahn "is one of the main works of the architect Otto Wagner, who not only uniformly designed the substructure and all building structures such as retaining walls, lining walls, bridges, viaducts, tunnel portals and stations, but also all the associated ticket and luggage counters, floor coverings, railings, lifts, grilles, gates, furniture, water pipes and heating and lighting fixtures. The infrastructure has been largely preserved and is one of the city's sights as an overall work of art in the transitional style between late historicism and early art nouveau. Today, all the facilities are listed monuments."**
