The Lobkowitzplatz is a place in the 1st district of Inner City in Vienna .
history
The place has existed at least since the 13th century; originally it also extended over parts of Augustinerplatz and Augustinerstraße and was given its present area in 1862. Until 1675 the pig market was held here, which is why the place to 1716 Schweinemarkt said. Since 1303 it was bordered to the east by the Clarissini Monastery of St. Clara, which later housed the citizens' hospital. From 1716 to around 1850 the square was therefore called Spitalsplatz ; but there were also terms such as Roßmarkt or attached rubble . Since 1862 it has been named after the Lobkowitz Palace on the west side and the Lobkowitzplatz noble family of the same name . An open market was held in the square until 1880.
At times there was a place of execution on the square. On July 11, 1408, Vienna's mayor Konrad Vorlauf and councilors Hanns Rockh and Konrad Ramperstorffer were beheaded here.

From 1884 to 1885, a monumental strictly historical rental house was built on the property , an early work by the architect Otto Wagner . It is free on three sides (identification addresses: Gluckgasse 5, Führichgasse 12). The southwest corner (Lobkowitzplatz and Führichgasse) is accentuated by a round corner tower with a dome crown. The facade to Lobkowitzplatz is designed as a high plinth with colonnade-like, banded, giant Tuscan half-columns with a Doric frieze and closed off by a continuous balcony with wrought iron grating. On the upper floors there are also suspected windows in a row; A putti frieze runs between the windows of the third floor. A console cornice forms the end.

→ Main article Palais Lobkowitz
The high baroque palace was built from 1689 to 1694 for Philipp Sigmund Graf Dietrichstein based on a design by Giovanni Pietro Tencalla in place of buildings that dated back to the 14th century. Between 1709 and 1711 the building was changed by the construction of the distinctive main portal and the highlighting of the central part with a baluster attica and (meanwhile destroyed) reliefs (by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach ). The palace finally passed to Ferdinand Philipp, Prince Lobkowitz, through several inheritances and sales.
