Abstract

The essay discusses the architecture of Ringstrasse in Vienna. After the centuries- old fortifications were removed in the middle of the 19th century, the city financed the construction of several representative public buildings by selling the newly vacated land. In addition to public buildings, residential buildings were also built. The liberal bourgeoisie dictated the choice of style of new buildings; historicism and various neo-styles dominated the building. It is in this that we see a reflection of their conservatism; only at the end of the century will they embrace the modern styles advocated by the progressive Viennese like Adolf Loos.
