The Dumbastraße located on the 1st Viennese district of Inner City . It was named in 1900 after the art patron Nikolaus Dumba .
history
In the Middle Ages, the area of today's Dumbastraße was in the area of the suburb in front of the Kärntner Tor . Since the 16th century it was part of the Glacis , an undeveloped zone in front of the Vienna city wall .
The city fortifications, which were no longer up to date, were demolished after 1857 on the orders of Emperor Franz Joseph I, and the Ringstrasse along with the surrounding streets and buildings was laid out on the space thus gained . In the course of this, Dumbastraße was built in 1865, the year the ring road was officially opened. At that time it was called Künstlergasse , after the artist's house built here at the same time . In 1900, in the year of the death of the liberal politician and industrialist Nikolaus Dumba, who, as a patron of the arts, was a special patron of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna and of the architect Theophil von Hansen , who built the Musikverein building in this alley , the Künstlergasse was renamed Dumbastraße .
In 2011, Dumbastrasse was shortened by half and the section between Bösendorferstrasse and Karlsplatz was defined as a separate traffic area called Musikvereinsplatz .

Buildings
No. 1: Palais Duke Philipp von Württemberg
→ see main article Hotel Imperial (Vienna)
The former palace of Duke Philipp von Württemberg was built from 1862 to 1865 by Arnold Zenetti and Heinrich Adam in the style of the Viennese neo-Renaissance . Duke Philipp von Württemberg only lived in the palace for a few years. As early as 1872–1873, Ludwig Tischler and Carl Gangolf Kayser converted the building into the Hotel Imperial. The most prominent guests from politics, art and society have stayed in the hotel, which is splendidly furnished in neo-Rococo style. The Imperial is one of the leading hotels in Vienna.
In contrast to the main facade on Kärntner Ring in 1928, the secondary facade in Dumbastraße was not increased. It has two corner projections . The floor windows are framed by pilasters with Corinthian three-quarter columns. On the straight roofs there are volute and putti attachments, which are missing from the corresponding windows on the second floor.
The building is at the main address Kärntner Ring 16.
No. 2: Todesco house
The palace was built from 1863 to 1865 by Anton Baumgarten in the form of the Viennese neo-renaissance for the bankers Eduard and Moritz von Todesco as their second residence after the Palais Todesco at Kärntner Straße 51. It is a three-wing corner building around an inner courtyard. The building has a remarkable interior.
The house is at the main address Kärntner Ring 14.
No. 4: Palais Lützow
