Renovation of Vienna City Hall Cellar Completed
During the renovation of the Vienna Rathauskeller, the entrance area and historical rooms such as the Grinzinger Keller, the Knights' Hall, and the Ziehrer Salon were refurbished. In the Grinzinger Keller, new chandeliers were installed based on original designs, and chairs with the city emblem were crafted. In total, 4,750 square meters of wall and ceiling surfaces were painted, with the unique character of each room being considered.
Modern Technology Introduced to Vienna Rathauskeller
Simultaneously, the infrastructure was brought up to date: LED lamps were installed in the back office area. A newly installed stair lift now also allows barrier-free access from Felberstraße. "Our goal was to preserve the original atmosphere and historical charm of the Vienna Rathauskeller while integrating modern equipment and technology," emphasized Gourmet Managing Director Herbert Fuchs.
Mayor Michael Ludwig (SPÖ) also paid a visit to the renovated Rathauskeller. "After the comprehensive renovation of the natural stone facade of the Vienna City Hall, which we completed last year, the Vienna Rathauskeller now also presents itself freshly renovated. The result of the careful renovation work is truly impressive and was completed just in time for the 200th birthday of Friedrich von Schmidt, the architect of the Vienna City Hall."
Trump's Mar-a-Lago by the Same Architect
Schmidt was not responsible for the furnishings of the restaurant premises. The artistic design of the location was carried out by Joseph Urban. The Viennese architect later continued his career in the USA. There, he designed, among other things, the prominent holiday residence Mar-a-Lago in Florida, which has been owned by the current US President Donald Trump since the 1980s.
