In 1844 it became the property of Josef Ritter von Wachtler, who modernized it. At full operation, around 18-20 workers could be employed. On average, 3000 tons of pig iron were produced here per year. In the 1870s, cast goods were also produced in two cupolas . Due to excessive competitive pressure, a lack of charcoal and ores of sufficient quality, operations in the Alfredhütte had to be stopped again in 1885. In order to stop the further decline of this industrial monument, the hut was restored and conserved from 2002 to 2003 by the Steinhaus am Semmering beautification association, with the support of the municipality of Spital and the province of Styria.

The memorial is about 50 meters away from today's state road.
		Town Hall / Municipal Office ObjectID:  9716	Bundesstrasse, Spital 16 KG location : Spital am Semmering	The building, built in 1906 in Art Nouveau style based on plans by the Viennese architect Gürtler, was inaugurated in 1907 and given its intended purpose. A remarkable structural detail are the four roof surfaces on the east side, one above the other. Ludwig Zatzka took over the cost of furnishing the conference room ; the armchairs, the tiled stove and the clock have been preserved to this day. The municipal office was renovated several times, in 1962 the facade was painted green, and another exterior renovation took place in 1981/1982.

		Wayside shrine Hofwiesenkreuz ObjectID :  9719	Grautschenhof location KG: Spital am Semmering	The Hofwiesenkreuz is a medieval light pillar in Gothic style with a tabernacle structure and pyramid roof, comparable to the Wartholz cross in Reichenau an der Rax . The court meadow cross was originally crowned with a stone cross. It probably served as a meeting point for the population to receive the abbot of Neuberg Abbey when he visited the hospital. It is possible that the plague dead were once buried here.
		Sommerau Castle, formerly the Franz Jawornik Home of the Styrian War Victims Association. ObjectID :  9718	Grautschenhof 7 KG location : Spital am Semmering	The castle stands on the ground of one of the oldest farms in the municipality, the Pruggenbauer or Stockreiterhof, which has been known since 1331. In 1881 the property came into the possession of the Landauer family, who demolished the farm buildings in 1884 and had the Landhaus Sommerau built in its place. In 1894 the villa came into the possession of the Hungarian magnate Geza Count Brunsvik de Koromba, who finally expanded it into a castle for 50,000 guilders according to plans by the Graz architect Jellinek. In 1902 the property was sold to the Holzmann et Companie company and converted into a luxury hotel. In 1906 the castle went to Arthur Horny, who again used it exclusively as a country and administrative seat for his goods. In the Third Reich, a forestry school was set up here from 1939, and from 1945 the building served as a military hospital for the German Wehrmacht . In 1951 the Styrian War Victims Association (KOV) took over the castle and opened a holiday home for war orphans and victims here. The home was named after the Graz city councilor Franz Jawornik, who had made a special contribution to war invalids and returnees. In 1978/1979 the facility was expanded to include a swimming pool and a small café. The youth and family hotel "Jufa Semmering" has been located in Schloss Sommerau since 2011.
		Zatzka Chapel / Stone Wall Chapel ObjectID:  9720	Obere Bahnstrasse location KG: Spital am Semmering	The chapel, built in the neo-Romanesque style in 1904, was commissioned by the Viennese city architect Ludwig Zatzka and is also known under the name "Maria an der Steinwand". It was often wrongly called a Protestant place of worship. It was inaugurated in 1905 by Pastor Carl Oedl. In the same year, the Zatzka couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. The Zatzakapelle also had a mass license , which was confirmed in 1913, 1921, 1943 and again in 1953. Masses and especially May services of the parish hospital took place here again and again. From the beginning of the Second World War, the chapel was no longer used and left to decay. Renovation attempts by the community and the fire brigade in the 1970s failed due to the veto of a single co-owner. In the mid-1990s, however, it was possible to remove all obstacles and the chapel was completely renovated through cooperation between the landowners, the Federal Monuments Office and the municipality and thus preserved for posterity.
		Southern line "Semmering-Bahn" (Gloggnitz-Mürzzuschlag) ObjectID :  9747	Obere Bahnstrasse 1, 2 KG location : Spital am Semmering	The Semmering Railway was opened in 1854 and is the oldest standard-gauge mountain railway in Europe.

		Wayside shrine Johanneskreuz ObjectID :  9714	Stuhleckstrasse 1 KG location : Spital am Semmering	Since 1760 there has been a Johannes Nepomuk chapel on this place, which was supposed to protect against flooding and also served as a conductor cross . In 1887 the pavement and road into the Kaltenbach was extended and the chapel was demolished. In the same year the foundation stone was laid for a new building which, however, could not be completed until 1902 due to a lack of willingness to donate. The chapel body made of Aflenz sandstone was created by the Graz sculptor and stonemason Ferdinand Haugeneder, the 1.26 m high statue is the work of the Graz sculptor Petrus Neuböck and is made of Savannier sandstone from France. In 1988 the chapel was restored.
