The meat market is a street in the first Viennese district , the Inner City . The name can be traced back to 1220 and refers to the butchers who lived here .
history
The street, which touches Roman and early medieval settlement areas, and is one of the oldest in the Babenberg urban expansion area, has been known as carnifices Viennensis since 1220 . Here was the oldest known market place for meat and the seat of numerous butchers, including their guild house. After the market was relocated to Lichtensteg in 1256, the street was sometimes also called the Alter Fleischmarkt ; But the butchers continued to live here until the 15th century. In the Middle Ages, the meat market also included its short side streets, such as Drachengasse , Wolfengasse, Greeksgasse, Laurenzersteig and part of Postgasse. In the dining houses ( Koderien ) located between the meat banks , rebellious elements occasionally frequented their meeting place (around 1450).
The character of the street gradually changed with the establishment of the nearby Old University , which attracted students and so-called "learned trades". During the second Turkish siege of Vienna, the street suffered greatly from the Turkish bombardment from Leopoldstadt . Then the wood market was held here, which was relocated to Rossau in 1742 . The meat market is located near the old Danube port, which led to the arrival of numerous Greeks in the 18th century who dominated the trade with the Balkans and the Levant region . They settled here and the so-called Greek quarter was formed around the central area of the meat market.
During the revolution of 1848 the meat market was renamed Barrikadenstraße . In 1862 the street without side streets was officially called the Fleischmarkt and stretched from Rotenturmstraße to Postgasse. Just before 1897 and around 1910, however, the historical building structure west of Rotenturmstrasse was intervened and the meat market was extended to the Fleischmarktstiege , which led up to Judengasse (today Jerusalemstiege and Desider-Friedmann-Platz ). Since 1911 the meat market has started on this staircase.
Location and characteristics
The meat market begins at the Jerusalemstiege, which connects this with the higher Desider-Friedmann-Platz. It runs in a south-easterly direction to Rotenturmstrasse and continues to curve a little to Postgasse. In the central area at the confluence with Greeksgasse it widens triangularly, in front of it the street course narrows. Buildings with structures dating back to the Middle Ages are located here, as well as the so-called Greek Quarter with the striking Greek Church of the Holy Trinity and the Greek Beisl .
There is no public transport through the meat market. The entire course of the street is a one-way street , but not in one direction, but between Rotenturmstraße and Bauernmarkt in a westerly direction, between Rotenturmstraße and Laurenzerberg in an easterly direction and between Postgasse and Laurenzerberg again in a westerly direction. This prevents through traffic.
While the meat market around the Greek Church has a picturesque, old Viennese character, the rest of the building consists largely of historicist residential buildings. There is also a secessionist office building on Rotenturmstraße and the former women's monastery of St. Laurenz, which dates back to the 17th century, on Postgasse. The meat market is frequented by numerous pedestrians. The street is not only interesting for tourists, there are numerous bars and shops as well as a cinema and a few small theaters in the immediate vicinity ( Wiener Kammerspiele , Wiener Kammeroper , Drachengasse theater ). In addition, the Greek Orthodox Church and the Austrian Buddhist Religious Society have their seats and sacred buildings here. A large press and printing center as well as the main post office no longer exist today.
Most of the buildings on the Fleischmarkt are listed buildings .
building
No. 1: Residenzpalast, former Orendihof printing center
In the place of the current building was the corner house Am Steig , in which from the end of the 15th century the Einkehrgasthaus Zum golden Hirschen was housed, with the head of a deer between the first and second floor as a house sign. At the beginning of the 16th century, the author of the Viennese sanctuary book, Matthäus Heuperger, lived here. Another resident, the stonemason Paul Khölbl from Krakow , is linked to the tradition that the Dr. Faust is said to have been a guest here. For a while there was an old fencing school of Viennese craftsmen in the house. A dance hall is mentioned in the 18th century. In 1797 the Karajan family became owners of the house, which was built together with the adjacent building in 1829. This also ended the restaurant business. The Karajan family housed the musical-typographical publishing company Johann Mecke and the workshop of the violin and lute maker Andreas Kamlosi in the building from 1799. The Germanist Theodor von Karajan lived here himself. For a while, the C. Genersich & Orendi carpet store was also located here , after which the name Orendihof has become established.
The commercial building on the corner of Rotenturmstrasse / Fleischmarkt was built in the late Secessionist style by Arthur Baron in 1909–1910 as a residence palace for the Steyrermühl publishing company . Reinforced concrete was used to support the heavy printing machines. In 1913 it was combined with the neighboring buildings Fleischmarkt 3 and 5 to form a large printing center. Here, in the Steyrerhof , the Neue Wiener Tagblatt was published. Between 1938 and 1945 the printing works became the property of the Ostmärkischer Zeitungsverlag, from 1945 to 1955 it was leased by the KPÖ , which ran Globus-Verlag and several magazines ( Volksstimme ) here. The party's central bookstore was on the corner. In 1955 the printing center was restituted to Steyrermühl. In 1985 a two-storey roof extension followed and from 1987 to 1989 a complete renovation by Harry Glück for BAWAG .
The facade follows the curve of the meat market and is interrupted here by an interposed tower, which houses the foyer, stairs and elevator. The corner to Rotenturmstrasse is rounded and is crowned with a domed top from 1987, which was originally cylindrical. The base zone is clad by a suspended metal frame construction, the upper zone is characterized by colored, geometrically ornamented tiles. Inside, the stair tower has secessionist handrails and lift grilles. The tile covering and the paneling were changed in 1987 as well as on the outside of the front. At the back of the Steyrerhof is the entrance to the Theater der Wiener Kammerspiele, which is located in the basement of the building.
Memorial plaques remember the State Opera Director Franz Schalk, who was born in the previous building in 1863, and the Vienna Voluntary Rescue Society , which set up its first medical station in the previous building in 1883. The text on the board reads:
“On December 8th, 1881, the day after the terrible fire of the Ringtheater in which many hundreds of people perished, the VIENNA VOLUNTARY RESCUE SOCIETY was founded by the kuk real secret councilor HANS GRAFEN WILCZEK. The same opened the first medical station in this house on May 1, 1883, through which more than 25,000 needy people received first aid by day and night until May 1, 1889. On January 20, 1884 his kuk Apostolic Majesty Emperor FRANZ JOSEF I and on April 2, 1884 his kuk Highness Archduke CARL LUDWIG deigned to make the Sanitaets Station happy with their very highest visit. On May 1st, 1889, the company left this house to continue their profitable activities in their own home at 1.Stubenring 1 "

In the middle of the 16th century, the house was extended by a wing facing Greeks Lane and around 1700 it was given a new facade with new window frames, a stucco cornice with a frieze with fruit garlands underneath and a portal crown with tendril ornament. In 1804 Karl Molner finally changed the building to its current appearance. A Schwibbogen connects the house across the narrow Greek street, in which historical curbstones can still be seen, with the house at Fleischmarkt 11; a historical mandatory sign from 1912 warns pedestrians and carters to be careful and considerate.

No. 13: Greek Orthodox Church
→ see also main article Greek Church on the Holy Trinity
The most distinctive building on the Fleischmarkt is undoubtedly the Greek church located on a small square-like extension of the street, which forms the center of Vienna's historic Greek quarter. In the 18th century, the Greek believers founded a brotherhood Zum Heiligen Georg and in 1776 acquired the Stockhammersche Palais , which was built around 1600 here . After Emperor Joseph II had issued the tolerance patent , the Holy Trinity congregation was founded in 1782 for the Orthodox believers living in Austrian territory. For this, Peter Mollner built a church in the courtyard of the Stockhammer Palace between 1782 and 1787, since non-Catholic churches were not allowed to have direct access to the street or a tower. As early as 1796, however, the Greeks were given the privilege of being able to realize both, whereby the top of the tower was visible behind the facade of the house. From 1856–1858 the church was renovated by Franz Poduschka. The wealthy Greek banker Georg Simon von Sina commissioned the architect Theophil von Hansen with the renovation of the parish and school house, which gave the ensemble its current appearance.
The building marks a late climax of romantic historicism, with which Hansen made his breakthrough in Vienna as a successful architect. The front to the meat market consists of a red and yellow layered raw brick building in the Byzantine style, whose cornices and ornaments are made of polychrome glazed ceramic. In the middle there is a risalit with a decorative portal and window axis with trifors , on which paintings by Carl Rahl are embedded, the Holy Trinity above the portal, the Holy Trinity . Simeon , Katharina and Georg in the middle and Maria with the child at the top. An eight-sided dome rises above the risalit. The side fronts to the left and right of this have biforas and arcades on the ground floor .
Inside, in the former driveway, there is a three- bay vestibule with domed square vaults, which opens to an atrium . This forms a dome space resting on strong pillars with a glass-covered ocular . Ceiling paintings based on designs by Carl Rahl and executed by his students Eduard Bitterlich , Christian Griepenkerl and August Eisenmenger place the four evangelists in the vestibule and the Holy Bible in the atrium. Nicholas , Basilius , Gregory and John Chrysostom . Large wall panels separated by pilasters bear golden Greek inscriptions, including the thank you inscription for George Simon of Sina on the north wall. The rooms are also adorned with rich stucco marble on the walls, columns and pilasters, as well as gilded Byzantine decor with plastic angel half-figures on the capitals . The chandelier and the black and white floor tiles are also noteworthy.
To the side of the vestibule there are still barrel-vaulted rooms from around 1600. A staircase leads from the atrium on the eastern side to the upper floors. Here the railing, the floor panels of the corridors and the bifora windows and doors with Byzantine decor are all from around 1858. In the meeting room with neoclassical decor there is a portrait gallery, including the portrait of Baron Sina by Carl Rahl from 1849. A portrait bust from around 1860 by Leonidas Drossis shows Baron Stergios Doumbas.
From the atrium you get to the church, which is located north of the parish and school building and from where you can see its plastered facade with its slightly protruding middle section and segmented arched and round windows. Inside, it consists of a high, three-bay hall with wide square vaults separated by double straps . The walls are structured by Corinthian double pilasters and a cranked cornice, above which there are round windows and niches in the lunettes . The choir , covered by the iconostasis , is just closed and covered with a flat dome. Opposite is the women's gallery in red-brown stucco marble with gilded Byzantine ornamentation by Poduschka, supported by mighty columns .
The furnishings of the church from the time it was built were historically renewed during the restoration. In 1856, Ludwig Thiersch created the ceiling and wall paintings depicting the Madonna, surrounded by the Hll. Anastasia , Irene , Helene and Eugenia , Christ Pantocrator and the four evangelists, representing the Holy Trinity and the prophets Isaiah , Jeremiah , Ezekiel and Daniel . In the lunette niches John the Baptist and the Annunciation can be seen, in the wall niches the birth and baptism of Christ. The Transfiguration on Mount Tabor is depicted on the strongly drawn-in triumphal arch . The decorative paintings on the vaults were created by Josef Haberzettl.
The iconostasis dates from the late baroque and has sculptural Corinthian columns and richly carved gilded floral doors. From left to right on the pedestal , the images depict Abraham and the three angels, the fall , the expulsion from paradise and the sacrifice of Isaac ; the archangel Michael , the Annunciation and St. Stephen are depicted on the doors ; in the lower row are an angel with the head of John the Baptist, St. Antonius , Nikolaus and Spiridon , the enthroned Mother of God, the enthroned Christ , St. Basil, John Chrysostom and Gregory as well as the coronation of Mary shown; in the top row one sees the twelve apostles in pairs and in the middle the Last Supper ; in the essay about it Christ appears to the apostles. The pulpit with its classicistic lattice parapet bears the image of Christ as bishop on the back wall. At the lectern the Habsburg crown is visible above the Byzantine double-headed eagle. The gilded cathedra is crowned by a volute canopy with a Greek crown and cross. On the back wall you can see the picture of the Holy Trinity, next to it there are two narrow side chairs. Other items of equipment include icon desks, gold-plated standing lamps, a large hanging crystal chandelier by Lobmayr (1856), as well as other chandeliers and lamps.
The interior of the choir is classical and largely from the time it was built. A remarkable icon of the Madonna dates back to the 15th century. In a room adjoining the choir there are votive pictures from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Since 1963 the seat of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis for Austria and the Central European countries of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople has been located here . The building is a historical monument.

1898–1899, the current building was built by Ferdinand Dehm and Franz Olbricht in the secessionist style. The Pilonengegliederte facade bears remarkable art nouveau with partially gold-plated stucco at an attic article . There are two busts with flower bars in between above the wooden door, which is still originally glazed. Inside, the foyer has a backdrop-like blending architecture made of stucco with owls and masks. Numerous original Art Nouveau elements can also be seen in the stairwell, such as railings, corridor windows and etched glass decor. The building is a historical monument.
No. 15: Schwindhof
The baroque town house was built for Michael Albrecht Kullmayr in 1718 and rebuilt by Peter Mollner in 1783. The painter Moritz von Schwind was born here in 1804 and spent his childhood and youth in the house. The poet Heinrich Joseph von Collin died here in 1811 . Franz Schlierholz rebuilt the building again in 1858 and adapted it for a factory.
The five-storey facade is structured by window axes that are combined with stucco decoration. The window roofs show stuccoed imperial busts, shells as well as foliage and ribbon work. The basket arch portal, the curved roof of which continues the cornice, is remarkable. Two angels carry a medallion with an image of the Madonna in the stucco overlay , and coats of arms and bands can also be seen. The house is crowned by a crooked roof. Inside there is a pillar-structured entrance with plastered plastered vaults and a baroque spiral staircase. The upper floors are largely gutted.

.jpg)
No. 18: Tolerance House
The house was built in 1793 for the Greek merchant Christoph Graf Nako and redesigned in 1830, probably by Ernest Koch . The monumental late classicist corner house on Wolfengasse has a bent facade with a slightly protruding central projection. The fourth and fifth floors are divided by Ionic colossal pilasters, with a large inscription above the fourth floor alluding to the tolerance patent. It is said:
“This house is ephemeral, but Joseph's fame never. He gave us tolerance, she gave immortality. "
In the middle of the tape there is a gilded medallion between tendrils with the profile bust of Emperor Joseph II. On the first floor above the portal there is a gable window with a gilded allegorical relief of the trade (Hermeshelm, anchor and snakes). The square inner courtyard is covered by a glass-metal construction (1998).
No. 19: Laurenzer building
Between 1293 and 1302 a monastery was founded here, possibly including the city fortifications from 1276. Initially, Beguins may have lived here , and we know that they owned a house with a chapel on the meat market, but that was already from 1301 Convent of St. Laurenz settled by Dominican women until 1424 . Around 1450, the Augustinian rule was adopted and converted into a women's choir monastery, which was one of the richest monasteries in Vienna. In 1638 it was completely rebuilt, as the old system was already showing major structural damage. Two regular courtyards were built to the north and east of the Gothic church on the Fleischmarkt, with an adjoining Maierhof in the north. In 1681 the church was redecorated in the baroque style.
In 1783 the monastery was abolished in the course of the Josephine reforms and adapted for Aryan purposes, such as the censorship authority. Altars and statues of the church furnishings can be found in various churches in Vienna, to which they have been divided. 1818–1819 the church and the tracts on Laurenzerberg were demolished and a new building was erected there, offset by 3 meters to the east; In addition, the old buildings were raised and everything was combined into a closed complex around the two old monastery courtyards and the Maierhof. The poet Johann Mayrhofer committed suicide here in 1836 by throwing himself into the depths from his place of employment. Franz Bayer finally built the north-south wing in the north courtyard in 1843. The post office has been located here since 1875. In 1991 the buildings around the two northern courtyards and partly the central transverse tract were demolished. Instead, new business and administrative wings were built and the old buildings were revitalized by the architects Neumann & Partner.
The complex between Fleischmarkt, Postgasse, Auwinkel and Laurenzerberg, which has grown over centuries, has its nineteen-axis block-like main facade on the Fleischmarkt. The five-axis central projection is gabled and grooved at the base, the cornice structure is only sparingly. The roofing windows vary by floor and wing. There are three-dimensional tendrils, balusters , laurel wreaths and garlands on the central projection. In the gable field, fully sculpted angels with the imperial double-headed eagle by Joseph Käßmann can be seen, which he created between 1819 and 1820. In contrast, the side facades are simply designed. At the northwest corner is a postmodern two-story entrance area.
Older buildings from the Baroque period are mainly found in the eastern part. Under the former church there is a vaulted tomb of the nuns with a vaulted cap and wall paintings from the first half of the 18th century, some of which have been exposed. The corridors on the ground floor are vaulted throughout, the other rooms are barrel vaulted. On the second floor there are only groin vaults in the eastern part; everything else is just covered. The courtyards are covered by modern glass and steel constructions. The building is a historical monument. There is a historic K&K post office in the entrance area.
No. 20, 22: rental house
Instead of five smaller houses, Ernest Koch built this large, free-standing building on three sides for the banker Georg Simon von Sina between Wolfengasse, Fleischmarkt and Drachengasse in 1823–1825.

The middle row of windows here consists of lunette windows, outside the central projection of gable windows; the other rows of windows are suspected. A cordon cornice with a triglyph frieze completes the facade. There are two portals on the central projection. The side facades have some remarkable original shutters. The building has two inner courtyards, from which spiral stairs with original railings lead upwards.

In 1762 Leopold Mozart stayed here with his children on their first trip to Vienna. 1730–1784 it was available for the main toll and the Hansgrafenamt; the Hansgraf protected Viennese merchants abroad. Then the Greek coffee house of the cafetier Eckmayer was housed in the house, in which mainly Greeks from the Greek quarter frequented. Its original equipment was considered a sight. Since 1823 the café has been located in the next-door Fleischmarkt 22. Now, in 1820, an elegant inn was opened here, which since 1822 has been called the City of London . Prominent guests include Frédéric Chopin (1830), Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner (between 1872 and 1876). The Hotel Rabl was located here at the end of the 19th century . The first trade union organization was founded there in 1892, which is commemorated by a plaque.
In 1902, Carl Caufal erected the building that exists today in neo-baroque forms with secessionist elements. In 1910 it was acquired by a Czech cooperative and from then on was called Český dům (Czech House). The representative building of the Czechs in Vienna was the seat of several associations, such as the Národní rada česká , the Slovanská beseda , the Pokrok theater association , the Lumír choral society , the Lower Austrian Sokolgau Sokolská župa dolnorakouská and the Akademický spolek . Another memorial plaque on the facade commemorates Leoš Janáček's stay in 1918. In 1942 the house was given its current name Hotel Post. It had a concert hall in the cellar of the side wing, which was rebuilt in 1959 and is now the venue for the Vienna Chamber Opera . The staircase of the hotel shows secessionist stucco decor, original railings and wrought iron elevator grilles. The etched glass windows of the elevator also come from the construction period.

No. 28: To the Goldberg
At this point there was originally a foundation house that was bequeathed to the university in 1473. The name Goldberg is derived from Johannes Aldeholz from Goldberg in Silesia , who headed the domus Poloni across from St. Laurenz . The respected Burse has been supervised by the Jesuits since 1555 , who left the house in 1622 to the Pazmaneum , an educational institution for Hungarian clergy , founded by the Archbishop of Gran Péter Pázmány .
