Audio tourOtto Wagner Guide

Revolutionary, visionary and fantastically beautiful: anyone who says Vienna must also say Otto Wagner. No other architect has left a greater mark on Vienna than the pioneer of modernism, who was born in 1841. This guide shows you Otto Wagner's most important buildings, which are spread all over Vienna. And that means plenty of architectural diversity. For Wagner, whose work was as much about functionality as it was about aesthetics and the use of the latest materials, produced brilliant architecture such as the Post Savings Bank, the Church of St. Leopold and the famous Linke Wienzeile Buildings. Equally remarkable are Wagner's infrastructure buildings such as the Nussdorf Weir and, of course, the buildings of the Vienna Stadtbahn, which are now part of the Vienna subway system. Come along and be inspired by the floral splendor, shimmering gold and Wagner's revolutionary ideas.
