The Palais Dietrichstein-Herberstein with the first Café Griensteidl on Michaelerplatz (before 1897; opposite the Hofburg with a side wing of the Michaelertrakt ). This demolished palace was much lower than the subsequently built Herberstein palace on the property.

The Palais Dietrichstein-Herberstein was a building that existed until 1897 on the corner of Schauflergasse No. 2 and Herrengasse No. 1, on the edge of Michaelerplatz in Vienna .

Since the end of the 19th century, the Herberstein Palace has been in his successor on this property.

history

The palace, built towards the end of the 17th century, had three floors and had thirteen window axes. 1764 was in this palace Joseph Carl von Dietrich Stein born of it to the District Marshal of Lower Austria and 1816 for the first governor of the kk privileged National Bank brought. He had the early baroque palace expanded in 1818 by adding the neighboring house in Schauflergasse and unifying the facades. The last owner from the Dietrichstein family was Count Moritz Dietrichstein , the Duke of Reichstadt's tutor and director of the musical performances at court. In 1861, before Dietrichstein's death, the house became the property of Countess Theresia Herberstein. In the last decade of the 19th century it was best known for the Café Griensteidl on its ground floor .

In connection with the Wilhelminian redesign of Vienna and especially the completion of the Michaeler tract of the Hofburg and the redesign of Michaelerplatz in line with the earlier plans of Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach , the relatively low old house, which protruded far into the planned building line, was demolished and replaced a mighty speculative building. The literary meeting place surrounded by numerous anecdotes was closed on the night of January 20-21, 1897, a reflection of this event is, among other things, the satirical essay Die demolierte Literatur by Karl Kraus .

In 1897 the Zinspalais Herberstein, which was owned by the Herberstein family until 1951 , was built according to plans by the architect Karl König .
