Die Villa Pantschoulidzeff wurde 1850 bis 1854 nach Plänen des Wiener Ringstraßenarchitekten Theophil von Hansen errichtet. Sie liegt an wunderbarer Lage oberhalb von Traunkirchen am Traunsee und ist seit vielen Jahren unbewohnt. Ihr Garten hat mich schon immer durch seinen morbiden Charme fasziniert. Eigentlich ist es Privatbesitz und eingezäunt, doch wenn man will findet man ein unauffälliges, aber viel genutztes Loch in der Hecke. Wie durch ein Wunder ist dieser Ort bis heute von jeglichem Vandalismus verschont geblieben und präsentiert sich als Glücksfall für Fotografen.
The Villa Pantschoulidzeff was built between 1850 and 1854 according to plans by the Viennese Ringstrasse architect Theophil von Hansen. It is situated in a wonderful location above Traunkirchen am Traunsee and is uninhabited for many years. Its garden has always fascinated me with its morbid charm. It is actually private property and fenced in, but if you want you can find an inconspicuous but much used hole in the hedge. Miraculously, this place has been spared from any vandalism until today and presents itself as a stroke of luck for photographers.

Heldenplatz (Heroes' Square) was designed in the nineteenth century by Gottfried Semper as the central square of the Kaiserforum, a project which was never fully realized due to the collapse of the Habsburg Empire in 1918.
In the direction of the Ringstrasse Heldenplatz is framed by a wide triumphal arch, known as the Äussere Burgtor or Heldentor. The arch was designed by Peter von Nobile, and erected between 1821 and 1824.
The arch commemorates the Battle of Leipzig in 1813 where Austria and its allies defeated the outnumbered troops of Napoleon. The arch was originally built into the city's defensive walls and now stands a bit lost in the expansive square.(aviewoncities.com)
The City Hall is one of the most splendid amongst the numerous monumental buildings along Vienna's Ringstrasse. Designed by Friedrich Schmidt (1825-1891), it was erected between 1872 and 1883. The architecture of the Ringstrasse is dominated by historicism. In Historicism various stylistic elements of the past were combined into a style in its own right. Friedrich Schmidt however orientated himself on one particular epoch. The City Hall was built in gothic style, with a tower similar to gothic cathedrals. The gothic era saw the growth of the cities and the emergence of an urban bourgeoisie.
Today the City Hall is the head office of Vienna's municipal administration. (City of Vienna website)

Ein Ausflug nach Wien
Alle, die keinen Urlaub machen können, mögen mich auf einer Runde durch Wien begleiten. Vorbei an den berühmten Sehenswürdigkeiten, aber vielleicht auch abseits Sehenswertes entdecken ...
Das Wiener Burgtheater ist eine der bedeutendsten Bühnen Europas. Es liegt gegenüber dem Rathaus an der Wiener Ringstraße und wurde von Gottfried Semper und Karl Freiherr von Hasenauer von 1874 bis 1888 in den Formen der italienischen Hochrenaissance erbaut. Die Innenausstattung weist eine üppig barockisierende Ausstattung auf. In Wien wird das Theater kurz "die Burg", die Ensemblemitglieder "Burgschauspieler" genannt.

Once upon a time we all walked on the golden road. It was a fair highway, through the Land of Lost Delight; shadow and sunshine were blessedly mingled, and every turn and dip revealed a fresh charm and a new loveliness to eager hearts and unspoiled eyes. - The Golden Road by L.M. Montgomery

Bis Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts hatte das Areal des heutigen Schwarzenbergplatzes Anteil am südlichen Glacis. Diese militärisch defensive Freifläche war der Stadtmauer vorgelagert und wurde vom (offenen) Wienfluss durchzogen. Nach dem Abriss der Stadtmauer (1858–1863) standen in ihrem ringförmigen Bereich und auf dem vorgelagerten Glacis sehr große Flächen zur Bebauung zur Verfügung. Ähnlich den Ringstraßenpalais wurden auch auf diesem Bauerwartungsland in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts einige Prachtbauten errichtet.
Until the mid-19th century, the area of today's Schwarzenbergplatz formed part of the southern glacis. This military-defensive open space was located in front of the city wall and was crossed by the (open) Wien River. After the city wall was demolished (1858–1863), very large areas within its circular area and on the glacis in front of it became available for development. Similar to the palaces on the Ringstrasse, several magnificent buildings were erected on this prospective building land in the second half of the 19th century.
Opernbrunnen
The Vienna Opera House is not only the "first house at the Ring" and therefore also the most impressive building at the Ringstrasse but also a worldwide known opera house.

After the Viennese Ringstrasse was finished in the year 1865 this place with its garden in front of the Hofburg came into being.
The monument is classified as a World Cultural Heritage. Maria Theresa governed from the year 1740 to 1780
A Ópera Estatal de Viena (Wiener Staatsoper), localizada na Ringstraße, é um emblemático exemplo da arquitetura neorrenascentista, construída entre 1861 e 1869.

And the beat goes on...
"Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry "hey buddy, have you got a dime"
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da"

Schon vor tausend Jahren stand hier eine Kirche, die den Besuchern des Alþingi für ihre Gottesdienste zur Verfügung stand. Die Kirche, welche man heute betreten kann, datiert auf das Jahr 1859. Direkt nebenan befindet sich ein kleiner Friedhof auf dem nur eine Handvoll Menschen ihre letzte Ruhe fanden. Ganz in der Nähe wurde auch Gericht gehalten und wurden die Todesurteile vollstreckt.
Das Alþingi (Althing) ist das Parlament Islands. Es folgt seit 1991 dem Einkammersystem. Das Althing geht bis ins Jahr 930 zurück und ist damit nach dem färöischen Løgting, dessen Ursprünge in das Jahr 900 zurückreichen, das zweitälteste bestehende Parlament der Welt bzw. das älteste eines unabhängigen Staats.

Already a thousand years ago there was a church here which was at the disposal of the Alþingi visitors for their services. The church, which can be entered today, dates back to 1859. Right next door there is a small cemetery where only a handful of people found their last rest. Nearby, courts were held and the death sentences were carried out.
The Alþingi (Althing) is the parliament of Iceland. It has followed the unicameral system since 1991. The Althing dates back to the year 930, making it the second oldest existing parliament in the world or the oldest independent state after the Faroese Løgting, whose origins date back to the year 900.
