Prince Eugene Equestrian Monument
Highlight • Monument
The Prince Eugene Equestrian Monument in Vienna is an impressive statue in honour of Prince Eugene of Savoy, one of the most outstanding military commanders of the 18th century. It is located on the Ringstrasse, one of the most magnificent streets in the city, and was inaugurated in 1865. The statue shows Prince Eugene on horseback, in an imposing pose, and symbolises his role as a victor in the decisive battles against the Turks, in particular the Battle of Zenta. The monumental monument is not only a significant symbol of Austrian history, but also an outstanding example of 19th century monumental sculpture. Surrounded by magnificent buildings and amidst a historical setting, the monument is a striking landmark and a popular place for tourists and history buffs.

Burgtheater Vienna
Highlight • Historical Site
The Burgtheater is the largest German speaking theater and one of the most important stages in Europe. From 1748 to 1888 it was located on Michaelerplatz, until it had to make way for the extension of the Hofburg to include the Michaelertrakt. In October 1888, the new building on Universitätsring was opened, which - with a war-related interruption from 1945 to 1955 - is still the home of the "Burg". The theater has two other venues: The Academy Theater on Lisztstrasse and the Casino on Schwarzenbergplatz. The rehearsal stage of the Burgtheater is located in the arsenal.
When Joseph II declared the Burgtheater, which did not have that name at the time, as the “German National Theatre” in 1776, this primarily referred to the language that was to be spoken on this stage from then on. The imperial measure was a step towards upgrading the national language and was directed against the dominance of French and Italian on the stages - languages that could only be spoken and understood by an elite.
(program preview of the 2019/2020 season)
Martin Kušej will take over as director in September 2019. We are curious.
From now on, the Burgtheater will no longer see itself as a “German national theatre” that only speaks with one tongue and only listens with one ear. It will not be able to cope with itself and the languages spoken in and around it. It will never be finished at all.

Vienna Stock Exchange (Wiener Börse on the Ring)
Highlight • Historical Site
Vienna Stock Exchange on the Ring "History"
From 1861 the stock exchange was at the headquarters of the k.k. privileged Austrian National Bank, Strauchgasse 4, Vienna-Innere Stadt. In that year, the stock exchange chamber made the decision to build its own stock exchange building and purchased a 3240 m² building site for 180,000 guilders. When the spatial conditions had turned out to be no longer sustainable for the stock exchange, Theophil von Hansen's (1813–1891) great plan was accepted in 1869, which provided for 865,000 guilders for 8790 m² building site and a loan of five million had to be taken out for its implementation. Whereas at the beginning of 1867 the number of day visitors was between 900 and 1,000, it would reach 3,200 in 1873.
In addition to the detailed planning for the new building, care was taken to erect an emergency building: after a few delays, among other things due to a change in tax law, on May 6, 1872, the stock exchange operations moved to one next to the Rossauer barracks (then: Rudolphs barracks) on the later address Schottenring 19 by the Allgemeine Oesterreichische Baugesellschaft built in wood, temporary building until 1877.
The building planned by Theophil von Hansen, the winner of the architectural competition, was constructed from 1873 to 1877 by the plan author and the architect Carl Tietz (1831–1874) in the neo-renaissance style, a form of historicism (typical of the Ringstrasse). Hansen was building the parliament building on another section of the Ringstrasse at the same time.
On March 14, 1877, at the invitation of k.k. Finance Minister Sisinio von Pretis-Cagnodo visited the completed five million guilders [4] building with his visit. 3] in which he was guided through the house by the President of the Stock Exchange Chamber, Moriz Freiherrn Wodianer von Kapriora (1810–1885). [5] The first stock exchange meeting was held on March 19, 1877 [6] and the stock exchange business was fully taken up. Days beforehand, the new building could be viewed by the public on the basis of tickets issued free of charge, with the large stock exchange hall being fully illuminated in the evenings. The influx was so great that on the evening of March 17, 1877 Archduke Friedrich (1856–1936) had to refrain from visiting. A day later, Dom Pedro II (1825-1891), Emperor of Brazil, and his wife Teresa Maria Cristina of Naples-Sicily were guests in the new stock exchange.
On March 12, 1945, the east corner of the building was badly damaged by a bomb. The house was badly damaged in a major fire on April 13, 1956. During the subsequent restoration, the stock exchange hall (58.8 / 26.5 / 22.8 m) with eleven departments was not restored, but transformed into an inner courtyard, and stock exchange operations resumed on December 7, 1959.
From its construction to the move of Wiener Börse AG to the Palais Caprara-Geymüller at the end of 2001, the building was the seat of this institution. Today it is one of the many attractions on Vienna's Ringstrasse, and its halls are rented out for events. The building is owned by a foundation left by Karl Wlaschek in 2015.

St. Charles Church (Karlskirche) is a rectoral church incorporated into the Order of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star. The church is dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo (feast day November 4). From 1783 to 1918, it served as the patronal parish church of the Emperor and has been administered by the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star from Prague since 1783.
