Primate's Palace (Slovak Primaciálnà palác) is a neoclassical building on Primate's Square in Bratislava, built as the seat of the Archbishop of Esztergom.
History
City of Bratislava, which was at the heart of present-day Bratislava, was the head offices of archbishops, because of its historical residence in Esztergom was there. 1543 in the hands of the Turkish Pasha. The house, which in the center of the small square behind the town hall owned, probably originally stood on the ruins of ancient buildings, in the 15th 50 years century was rebuilt in Gothic style, the next big update then held at 18th 30 years century. Despite these adjustments at the end of the 18th century did not satisfy the requirements placed on the Archbishop's residence, therefore, Archbishop Jozef Batthyany decided to demolish the old building and build a new palace, and designed by architect Melchior Hefele Austrian origin; construction was finished in 1781.
After the death of Empress Maria Theresa, her son, Emperor Joseph II . transferred to the central office of Buda and the archbishopric was moved back to Esztergom. Obelisk Primasil the object left, but stayed here only sporadically. The palace was used for the temporary accommodation of kings and members of their families, there were offices, schools, apartments, etc.
26th December 1805 at the Mirror Hall of the palace was signed by Johann I. of Liechtenstein, Ignácz Gyulay and Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand called Bratislava Peace between France and Austria, which among other things has deprived Austria Tyrol and Dalmatia. In the hall was held the inaugural meeting of the Uherského Assembly (Kingdom of Hungary), which was located in the present building of the University Library. In 1848 there was signed last crowned Emperor Ferdinand V. so-called March laws like abolition of serfdom.
The first palace courtyard
3 August 1903 the palace for 120,000 gold bought in the city of Bratislava and its reconstruction was hidden in a forgotten hallway wallpaper in one of the salons discovered unique and complete a series of six unknowns tapestries, depicting the ancient tragic love story of Hero and Leander. Were made ​​around 1630 in English Mortlake group Flemish weavers Philip de Maechta designed by Francis Clyne (probably involving Rubens and van Dyck). Archbishopric 's unearthed tried priceless tapestries from gain, but the court ruled in favor of the city. Now part of the exhibition in the prestigious premises of the palace.
In the following decade took place very generous and sensitive reconstruction for the needs of the town hall. Served this purpose until the end of the 20th 40 years century, when it was finished building a new town hall on the site of the former Ormosdyho Palace on Primate's Square, in the following decades the state rooms of the palace used as an exhibition Gallery of Bratislava. Mirror Hall, however, continued until the end of the 80 years served as a meeting hall of the then National Committee of Bratislava. At present, the palace headquarters of the Mayor and the Mirror Hall of the Town Council meets, in addition, are held weddings or concerts. Other ceremonial hall of the palace are open to the public without restriction, decorated salons are combined as a picture gallery.
The form of the palace
Tympanum with a mosaic of Ernest Zmetáka and coat of arms of Cardinal Batthyány by Matus Kögler.
The architectural layout of the building is quite simple: representational spaces are located on the north side of the building, a huge classicist facade, which not only dominates the whole building, but operates across a small square. Above the main gate is a balcony supported by four Tuscan columns, the facade is dominated by a triangular tympanum initially with fresco depicting allegories observance of God's commandments by Franz Anton Maulbertsch, it was at the time of reconstruction of the palace destroyed so that it can not save the years 1956-1958 and was replaced by color stone mosaic Ernest Zmeták. At the climax of the tympanum is placed a huge stone ancestral character Archbishop Batthyany, the Attica palaces are located next sculpture.
Tripartite input (full gate and two side entrances for pedestrians) leads to a square courtyard with statues of St. George 17th century and blind arcades. In the southwestern corner of the courtyard is a portal with a relief of the Virgin and Child in red marble, probably from the 16th century. The portal leads to a hallway, which leads into the palace chapel, which is not visible from the outside. The chapel, dedicated to St. Martin Ladislav, is built on the original site chapel residence, and in a single year (1780). Oval space pervades all floors of the palace and is connected to an adjacent room. The arch bears a mural depicting the miracle of light - Ladislav; view of authorship F.A. Maulbertsch is now being questioned. Paintings on three altars come from J. Zollinger (St. Ladislav on the main altar), J. Meydingera (painting angels on the left side altar) and J. Kohl (image sv. Josefa on the right side altar). Carved pews are from 18 century. Chapel by the end of the 2nd World War II did not serve its original mission, only in 1993 was again a place of worship.
Fountain with statues of St. . George
From the entrance vestibule based on right and left entrance hall. Left hallway leading to the main staircase, which forms the national ceremonial space on the first floor, so piano nobile. On the east side is attached to them so festive Mirror Hall. It also permeates its height into the highest floor, where it built a balcony. The room is lit only by four pairs of windows, the lack of natural light are fixed mirrors on the walls of the room at the lower floor, making a high narrow space created impressive hall.
In the entry parlor above the main staircase are portraits of Hungarian rulers - Charles III., his daughter Maria Theresa (in 1742 by Daniela Schmidelyho), Joseph II., Leopold II. and Francis I. - and the builder of the palace, Cardinal Joseph Batthyany.
A fresco on the ceiling of the chapel of St. Ladislaus.
Five salons piano nobile (green salon, brown salon, blue salon, red salon, golden salon), which are oriented to the north, the surviving part of the original wooden paneling, silk wallpaper, new, color-matching original. Here are mirrors used for simple optical zoom - in vista on the walls of the first and last room. All these rooms are complete with original ceramic tiled stove. In addition to a set of six tapestries themed love story Hero and Leander are located here mostly paintings from the collections of the Municipal Gallery, like furniture and other art objects.
Parallel to the state rooms stretch through narrow room, tapetované (wallpaper) gray silk with a musical motif, which builds on the west wing of the palace with a number of small rooms, velvet dark green color, which is currently exhibition of Dutch paintings from the collections of the City Gallery. These rooms were probably originally (in comparison with the state rooms relatively modest) Archbishop tabernacle.
Spaces on the top floor of the palace were originally only accessible to ordinary staircase official functions. Are addressed in plan like space on the first floor, are less spectacular.
Probably the only remnant of the original residence is on two stone pillars vaulted room in the south wing of the palace courtyard, which served as stables.
After renovations and modernizations is not preserved original cuisine. Probably was located on the ground floor below the hall of mirrors. Under the kitchen to keep massive cylindrical space lined with bricks (height 3.5 m, diameter 5 m), vaulted semicircular dome, most likely the original tank for domestic hot water .

Signage points the way to the new southbound platform at Wilson on CTA's North Side Main Line. The station, over a century old, is being completely rebuilt, and the first new section to reopen is the Track 1 side of the southbound platform. For now, southbound Red Line trains are using it, but will move to the other side of the platform once Track 2 is rebuilt. Here, a northbound Red Line train pulls into the original middle platform. To the left is the disused express platform, which once served North Shore Line trains to Milwaukee and intermediate points. When recontruction is finished, Wilson will once again have local and express service.

I took the time to only briefly glance over toward the southwest corner at the Horn Lake Goodman Rd. Schnucks Kroger and snap a picture, but it certainly looks like they have used the old salad bar as a temporary deli front counter (or something!). Things have changed so much on this end of the store, it's hard to tell for sure exactly what's going on. Unfortunately, along with the Schuncks decor disappearing, most of the Albertsons stuff looks to be headed for the dumpster as well. Here's this same general area just five weeks prior: flic.kr/p/fPnH9F

This was very badly in smithereens hence the operations on the Vrindavan line had stopped temporarily. Now this has been totally revamped after an overhaul and is ready to rock the tracks again. Just a final touchup of paint was left to work upon last week when the picture was taken (17-9-2019). Now it is complete and will be sent to Mathura soon.

History
Pottery and wine
The first ones who demonstrably populated the area of ​​today's Mariahilferstraße (after the mammoth) were the Illyrians. They took advantage of the rich clay deposits for making simple vessels. The Celts planted on the sunny hills the first grape vines and understood the wine-making process very well. When the Romans occupied at the beginning of our Era Vienna for several centuries, they left behind many traces. The wine culture of the Celts they refined. On the hill of today's Mariahilferstraße run a Roman ridge trail, whose origins lay in the camp of Vindobona. After the rule of the Romans, the migration of peoples temporarily led many cultures here until after the expulsion of the Avars Bavarian colonists came from the West.
The peasant Middle Ages - From the vineyard to the village
Thanks to the loamy soil formed the winery, which has been pushed back only until the development of the suburbs, until the mid-17th Century the livelihood of the rural population. "Im Schöff" but also "Schöpf - scoop" and "Schiff - ship" (from "draw of") the area at the time was called. The erroneous use of a ship in the seal of the district is reminiscent of the old name, which was then replaced by the picture of grace "Mariahilf". The Weinberg (vineyard) law imposed at that time that the ground rent in the form of mash on the spot had to be paid. This was referred to as a "draw".
1495 the Mariahilfer wine was added to the wine disciplinary regulations for Herrenweine (racy, hearty, fruity, pithy wine with pleasant acidity) because of its special quality and achieved high prices.
1529 The first Turkish siege
Mariahilferstraße, already than an important route to the West, was repeatedly the scene of historical encounters. When the Turks besieged Vienna for the first time, was at the lower end of today Mariahilferstrasse, just outside the city walls of Vienna, a small settlement of houses and cottages, gardens and fields. Even the St. Theobald Monastery was there. This so-called "gap" was burned at the approach of the Turks, for them not to offer hiding places at the siege. Despite a prohibition, the area was rebuilt after departure of the Turks.
1558, a provision was adopted so that the glacis, a broad, unobstructed strip between the city wall and the outer settlements, should be left free. The Glacis existed until the demolition of the city walls in 1858. Here the ring road was later built.
1663 The new Post Road
With the new purpose of the Mariahilferstrasse as post road the first three roadside inn houses were built. At the same time the travel increased, since the carriages were finally more comfortable and the roads safer. Two well-known expressions date from this period. The "tip" and "kickbacks". In the old travel handbooks of that time we encounter them as guards beside the route, the travel and baggage tariff. The tip should the driver at the rest stop pay for the drink, while the bribe was calculated in proportion to the axle grease. Who was in a hurry, just paid a higher lubricant (Schmiergeld) or tip to motivate the coachman.
1683 The second Turkish siege
The second Turkish siege brought Mariahilferstraße the same fate. Meanwhile, a considerable settlement was formed, a real suburb, which, however, still had a lot of fields and brick pits. Again, the suburb along the Mariahilferstraße was razed to the ground, the population sought refuge behind the walls or in the Vienna Woods. The reconstruction progressed slowly since there was a lack of funds and manpower. Only at the beginning of the 18th Century took place a targeted reconstruction.
1686 Palais Esterhazy
On several "Brandstetten", by the second Turkish siege destroyed houses, the Hungarian aristocratic family Esterhazy had built herself a simple palace, which also had a passage on the Mariahilferstrasse. 1764 bought the innkeeper Paul Winkelmayr from Spittelberg the building, demolished it and built two new buildings that have been named in accordance with the Esterhazy "to the Hungarian crown."
17th Century to 19th Century. Fom the village to suburb
With the development of the settlements on the Mariahilferstraße from village to suburbs, changed not only the appearance but also the population. More and more agricultural land fell victim to the development, craftsmen and tradesmen settled there. There was an incredible variety of professions and trades, most of which were organized into guilds or crafts. Those cared for vocational training, quality and price of the goods, and in cases of unemployment, sickness and death.
The farms were replaced by churches and palaces, houses and shops. Mariahilf changed into a major industrial district, Mariahilferstrasse was an important trading center. Countless street traders sold the goods, which they carried either with them, or put in a street stall on display. The dealers made themselves noticeable by a significant Kaufruf (purchase call). So there was the ink man who went about with his bottles, the Wasserbauer (hydraulic engineering) who sold Danube water on his horse-drawn vehicle as industrial water, or the lavender woman. This lovely Viennese figures disappeared with the emergence of fixed premises and the improvement of urban transport.
Private carriages, horse-drawn carriages and buggies populated the streets, who used this route also for trips. At Mariahilferplatz Linientor (gate) was the main stand of the cheapest and most popular means of transport, the Zeiselwagen, which the Wiener used for their excursions into nature, which gradually became fashionable. In the 19th Century then yet arrived the Stellwagen (carriage) and bus traffic which had to accomplish the connection between Vienna and the suburbs. As a Viennese joke has it, suggests the Stellwagen that it has been so called because it did not come from the spot.
1719 - 1723 Royal and Imperial Court Stables
Emperor Charles VI. gave the order for the construction of the stables to Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. 1772 the building was extended by two houses on the Mariahilferstrasse. The size of the stables still shows, as it serves as the Museum Quarter - its former importance. The Mariahilferstraße since the building of Schönbrunn Palace by the Imperial court very strongly was frequented. Today in the historic buildings the Museum Quarter is housed.

1730 Mariahilferkirche
1711 began the renovation works at the Mariahilferkirche, giving the church building today's appearance and importance as a baroque monument. The plans stem from Franziskus Jänkl, the foreman of Lukas von Hildebrandt. Originally stood on the site of the Mariahilferkirche in the medieval vineyard "In Schoeff" a cemetery with wooden chapel built by the Barnabites. Already in those days, the miraculous image Mariahilf was located therein. During the Ottoman siege the chapel was destroyed, the miraculous image could be saved behind the protective walls. After the provisional reconstruction the miraculous image in a triumphal procession was returned, accompanied by 30,000 Viennese.
1790 - 1836 Ferdinand Raimund
Although in the district Mariahilf many artists and historical figures of Vienna lived , it is noticeable that as a residence they rather shunned the Mariahilferstraße, because as early as in the 18th Century there was a very lively and loud bustle on the street. The most famous person who was born on the Mariahilferstrasse is the folk actor and dramatist Ferdinand Raimund. He came in the house No. 45, "To the Golden deer (Zum Goldenen Hirschen)", which still exists today, as son of a turner into the world. As confectioners apprentice, he also had to visit the theaters, where he was a so-called "Numero", who sold his wares to the visitors. This encounter with the theater was fateful. He took flight from his training masters and joined a traveling troupe as an actor. After his return to Vienna, he soon became the most popular comedian. In his plays all those figures appeared then bustling the streets of Vienna. His most famous role was that of the "ash man" in "Farmer as Millionaire", a genuine Viennese guy who brings the wood ash in Butte from the houses, and from the proceeds leading a modest existence.
1805 - 1809 French occupation
The two-time occupation of Vienna by the French hit the suburbs hard. But the buildings were not destroyed fortunately.
19th century Industrialization
Here, where a higher concentration of artisans had developed as in other districts, you could feel the competition of the factories particularly hard. A craftsman after another became factory worker, women and child labor was part of the day-to-day business. With the sharp rise of the population grew apartment misery and flourished bed lodgers and roomers business.
1826
The Mariahilferstraße is paved up to the present belt (Gürtel).
1848 years of the revolution
The Mariahilferstraße this year was in turmoil. At the outbreak of the revolution, the hatred of the people was directed against the Verzehrungssteuerämter (some kind of tax authority) at the lines that have been blamed for the rise of food prices, and against the machines in the factories that had made the small craftsmen out of work or dependent workers. In October, students, workers and citizens tore up paving stones and barricaded themselves in the Mariahilfer Linientor (the so-called Linienwall was the tax frontier) in the area of ​​today's belt.
1858 The Ring Road
The city walls fell and on the glacis arose the ring-road, the now 6th District more closely linking to the city center.
1862 Official naming
The Mariahilferstraße received its to the present day valid name, after it previously was bearing the following unofficial names: "Bavarian country road", "Mariahilfer Grund Straße", "Penzinger Street", "Laimgrube main street" and "Schönbrunner Linienstraße".
The turn of the century: development to commercial street
After the revolution of 1848, the industry displaced the dominant small business rapidly. At the same time the Mariahilferstraße developed into the first major shopping street of Vienna. The rising supply had to be passed on to the customer, and so more and more new shops sprang up. Around the turn of the century broke out a real building boom. The low suburban houses with Baroque and Biedermeier facade gave way to multi-storey houses with flashy and ostentatious facades in that historic style mixture, which was so characteristic of the late Ringstrasse period. From the former historic buildings almost nothing remained. The business portals were bigger and more pompous, the first department stores in the modern style were Gerngross and Herzmansky. Especially the clothing industry took root here.
1863 Herzmansky opened
On 3 March opened August Herzmansky a small general store in the Church Lane (Kirchengasse) 4. 1897 the great establishment in the pin alley (Stiftgasse) was opened, the largest textile company of the monarchy. August Herzmansky died a year before the opening, two nephews take over the business. In 1928, Mariahilferstraße 28 is additionally acquired. 1938, the then owner Max Delfiner had to flee, the company Rhonberg and Hämmerle took over the house. The building in Mariahilferstrasse 30 additionally was purchased. In the last days of the war in 1945 it fell victim to the flames, however. 1948, the company was returned to Max Delfiner, whose son sold in 1957 to the German Hertie group, a new building in Mariahilferstrasse 26 - 30 constructing. Other ownership changes followed.
1869 The Pferdetramway
The Pferdetramway made it first trip through the Mariahilferstraße to Neubaugasse.
Opened in 1879 Gerngroß
Mariahilferstraße about 1905
Alfred Gerngross, a merchant from Bavaria and co-worker August
Herzmanskys, founded on Mariahilferstrasse 48/corner Church alley (Kirchengasse) an own fabric store. He became the fiercest competitor of his former boss.
1901 The k.k. Imperial Furniture Collection
The k.k. Hofmobilien and material depot is established in Mariahilferstrasse 88. The collection quickly grew because each new ruler got new furniture. Today, it serves as a museum. Among other things, there is the office of Emperor Franz Joseph, the equipment of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico from Miramare Castle, the splendid table of Charles VI. and the furniture from the Oriental Cabinet of Crown Prince Rudolf.
1911 The House Stafa
On 18 August 1911, on the birthday of Emperor Franz Joseph, corner Mariahilferstraße/imperial road (Kaiserstraße) the "central palace" was opened. The construction by its architecture created a sensation. Nine large double figure-relief panels of Anton Hanak decorated it. In this building the "1st Vienna Commercial sample collective department store (Warenmuster-Kollektivkaufhaus)", a eight-storey circular building was located, which was to serve primarily the craft. The greatest adversity in the construction were underground springs. Two dug wells had to be built to pump out the water. 970 liters per minute, however, must be pumped out until today.
1945 bombing of Vienna
On 21 February 1945 bombs fell on the Mariahilferstrasse, many buildings were badly damaged. On 10th April Wiener looted the store Herzmansky. Ella Fasser, the owner of the café "Goethe" in Mariahilferstrasse, preserved the Monastery barracks (Stiftskaserne) from destruction, with the help other resistance fighters cutting the fire-conducting cords that had laid the retreating German troops. Meanwhile, she invited the officers to the cafe, and befuddled them with plenty of alcohol.

Here it must be. Will they let me in to take a picture? Temporary basis of the Swiss Army in Buriet, Switzerland, Apr 28, 2008.
I'm rearranging the home office as I've got so very bored of the current look which has become cluttered. So, the Intel iMac is sharing the same desk as the iMac G3 for tonight until I get another desk (same as the one in the pic) so I can put them side by side and have one huuuuge long desk with more space to put all my peripherals on. It feels nice to be pointing in a different direction :)
I stopped for a coffee at the Western View Café in Eastbourne and loved the cool elegance of its outdoor area. I looked it up when I got home and was amazed to find that the café is only a temporary structure, designed to be there for 2 years until a replacement is built for the old Wish Tower Café, which was demolished last year. I really hope this beautiful area can stay. It's a wonderful sun trap.
