building
Ditch 19
The building was built in 1799 by order of the Lower Austrian civil servant Franz Josef Haggenmüller zu Grienberg (1746–1824). For this purpose, the house "To the golden sun" mentioned for the first time in 1445 and the house "To the white stork" mentioned for the first time in 1441 were demolished. At the beginning of the 19th century the General Inquiry and Information Office was located on the first floor of the building, which, for a fee, provided information "about all civil and social transactions and circumstances that are permitted to be known" .
In 1843 the music publisher Carl Haslinger, founded by Tobias Haslinger and run by his son Carl Haslinger , moved into the house. The publishing house resided in the house until 1875 and during this time it published numerous works by Viennese composers (including Johann Strauss , Josef Strauss , Eduard Strauss , Carl Michael Ziehrer ). In addition, Carl Haslinger organized concerts by young artists (e.g. Hans von Bülow ) in front of a selected audience on the premises of the publishing house .
In 1874 the Jewish kuk court photographer Adele Perlmutter opened the Adèle photo studio in the house , which existed until her nephew Ernst Förster fled from the Nazis in 1938.
In 1828 Johann Baptist Freiherr von Pasqualati acquired the house, whose descendants sold it to the Central European Länderbank in 1910 . In 1950 the delicatessen shop "Julius Meinl am Graben" opened on the ground floor of the building. In 2009, Bank Austria, the legal successor of Länderbank, sold the building to Signa Holding .
Graben 20 / Naglergasse 1
The listed building was built by order of the Bohemian textile manufacturer Johann Liebieg (1802-1870) according to the plans of the builder and architect Ferdinand Fellner the Elder in 1857/1858. The corner house with the richly structured facade is an important example of early historicism in Vienna. A magnificent two-storey pillar structured wide bay windows on scrolls - consoles is on remarkable Karyatidhermen by sculptor Franz Melnitzky (1822-1876). At the top, the building closes with a balustrade with a central clock and larger-than-life sculptures, depicting trade on the left and commerce on the right.
In 1898 a shop for the men's fashion store Goldman & Salatsch was integrated in the building according to plans by Adolf Loos on behalf of Leopold Goldman and Emanuel Aufricht . In 1911 the business moved to the Looshaus, also designed by Adolf Loos . Nothing is left of Loo's planning or the interior of the men's fashion store.
The Austrian photo office and the Allgemeine Rentenanstalt were also located in the building. Inside the building has a pilaster-structured foyer and a spiral staircase with the original railing. In 1999/2000 the interior of the ground floor and the first floor were rebuilt on behalf of Julius Meinl AG. In the course of this work, the entrances to the Graben were completely glazed and those in Naglergasse were converted into shop windows. The caryatids have been restored, cleaned and given a natural stone look.
In 2004/2005, the owner of the building had the Wüstenrot Group carry out a complete renovation.
