The Färbergasse located on the 1st Viennese district , the Inner City . It has been known by this name since 1776, named after the local dye works . In the former suburbs of Vienna there were also streets called Färbergasse: today's Fürstengasse in Rossau and today's Hackhofergasse in Nussdorf .
history
In the Middle Ages, the area of today's Färbergasse belonged to Vienna's Jewish City , which was separated from its surroundings by gates. Such a gate, little door when you go to the courtyard , was here. After the expulsion of the Jews in 1421 ( Wiener Gesera ), the street was mentioned as Hofgäßlein in 1430 and 1528 because it leads directly to the Am Hof square . Since 1563 it has been called Färbergässl , after the dye factories located here. Before that time, today's Dorotheergasse was called Färberstrasse . The name Färbergasse has been used since 1776 .
Location and characteristics
Färbergasse runs from Am Hof in a north-easterly direction to Wipplingerstraße. The alley is very narrow and is a one-way street . The passage is rather uncomfortable for pedestrians; Most of the sidewalk is only on one side of the street, and car traffic is relatively heavy for such a narrow alley. Nevertheless, there are several restaurants and shops along Färbergasse. There is no public transport here.
The buildings on Färbergasse are stylistically inconsistent. A large part of the left side of the street is taken up by the side of the former civil armory ( Renaissance / Baroque ); several buildings date from around 1800 and from the 20th century.

The Jewish meat yard was located in the medieval Jewish town on the site of the current building. After 1529 the stuff box was moved here and later expanded. Anton Ospel created its current appearance in 1731, whereby the long facade facing Färbergasse was designed very simply. From 1884 the fire brigade headquarters is located at this location. The building is a listed building and is located at the main address Am Hof 10.

The house at the red saber was built in 1802 by Leopold Rieder in the classical style. The facade was completely cleared away and now appears without decorations or structures. Only the wooden door is still original. Inside there is a two-pillar staircase with a handrail and a two-storey cellar with barrel vaults and stitch caps.

No. 10: residential and commercial building
The late historical residential and commercial building on the corner of Wipplingerstraße was built in 1895 by Franz Xaver Neumann the Younger in the old German style. The two-storey base zone is grooved and designed as a business zone . The main zone, which is also grooved and set off by cranked cordon cornices , is lavishly designed. On the side facing Wipplingerstraße there is a three-storey bay window with life-size caryatids . The corner axes, framed by colossal pilasters , are richly decorated with gabled groups of windows and balconies. On the attic floor, which is also richly decorated , you can see a rosette-set console cornice. The Tuscan arched portal is framed with pilasts and has a straight roof with a triglyph frieze ; the lattice door is elaborately designed.
Inside there is a foyer with a rosette-decorated coffered ceiling. On the walls, allegorical putti medallions can be seen between columns. The vestibule door is decorated with etched glass decor. Floor tiles and stucco in the staircase as well as chandeliers, railings and elevator are original. The apartment doors are also richly decorated with carvings and bars.
