Corps command building Vienna

It was built between 1871 and 1874 according to plans by Carl Wilhelm Christian Ritter von Doderer on the former parade and parade ground (Josefstädter Glacis ). It housed administrative offices, the field command, the office of the general artillery inspector, the military appeals court and the apartment of the chief of staff of the corps of the Austro-Hungarian army .
On November 12, 1918, the communist "Red Guard" occupied the building, the armed forces settled the Army Inspectorate here ( Theodor Körner was Army Inspector until 1924), as did Brigade Commands I and II with the Vienna City Commanders. After 1938 the city command and the military district command XVII of the German armed forces were located here .
In 1945 the corps command building was badly damaged by bombs and demolished at the end of the 1950s. From 1962 to 1965, the “New Institute Building ” of the University of Vienna was built on this site according to plans by Alfred Dreier and Otto Nobis .
