Pyramid Vösendorf
The Pyramid Vösendorf is a 40 meter high multi-purpose hall in Vösendorf near Vienna, which, with its distinctive pyramid shape, is an architectural landmark . The plexiglass steel construction with its ancillary buildings is currently operated as the Austria Trend Event Hotel Pyramide and is regularly used for trade fairs and congresses.
The pyramid was built in 1983 as an extension of the Shopping City Süd (SCS) shopping center , on the initiative of the SCS operator Hans Dujsik. The architect was Franz Wojnarowski. The pyramid was initially used as an exclusive swimming pool ("El Dorado") with a sauna from Club Med until the year 2000, whereby a tropical atmosphere was to be evoked by planting palm trees and the glazed pyramid ceiling .
In 2000 the original use was stopped and the pyramid was transformed into a multi-purpose hall for u. a. Conventions redesigned.
The Austrian filmmaker Johann Lurf dedicated his film "Picture Perfect Pyramid" to the pyramid in 2014, which circles the building in 24 shots over the course of a day.
After Dujsik's death in 2003, the pyramid became the property of a private foundation established by Dujsik. Since January 2020, Haythem Al Wazzan has been the main shareholder, and Jamal Al-Wazzan and Cengiz Babayigit are the sole owners and operators of the Vösendorf pyramid.
