history

From 1861 the stock exchange was housed at the headquarters of the kk privileged Austrian National Bank , Strauchgasse 4, Vienna-Innere Stadt . In that year, the stock exchange chamber took the decision to build its own stock exchange building and purchased a 3,240 m² building site for 180,000 guilders. When the spatial conditions had turned out to be no longer sustainable for the stock exchange, Theophil von Hansen's (1813–1891) great plan was accepted in 1869 , which provided 865,000 guilders for 8,790 m² of building land and a loan of five million had to be taken out for its implementation. At the beginning of 1867 the number of day visitors was between 900 and 1,000, it would reach 3,200 in 1873.

In addition to the detailed planning for the new building, care was taken to erect an emergency building : After a few delays, among other things due to a change in tax law, on May 6, 1872, the stock exchange operations moved to a place next to the Rossauer barracks (then: Rudolphs barracks ) on the Later address Schottenring 19 by the Allgemeine Oesterreichische Baugesellschaft built in wood, temporary building until 1877.

The building planned by Theophil von Hansen, the winner of the architectural competition , was executed from 1873 to 1877 by the plan author and the architect Carl Tietz (1831–1874) in the neo-renaissance style , a form of historicism (typical of the Ringstrasse) . Hansen was simultaneously building the parliament building on another section of the Ringstrasse .

On March 14, 1877, at the invitation of the Imperial and Royal Finance Minister Sisinio von Pretis-Cagnodo, Emperor Franz Joseph I honored the completed building, which cost five million guilders, with a visit during which he was led by the President of the Exchange Chamber , Moriz Freiherr Wodianer von Kapriora (1810–1885 ) through the house. The first stock exchange meeting was held on March 19, 1877 and the stock exchange business was fully taken up. Days before that, the new building could be viewed by the public on the basis of tickets issued free of charge, with the large stock exchange hall being fully illuminated in the evenings. The influx was so great that on the evening of March 17, 1877 Archduke Friedrich (1856–1936) had to refrain from visiting. A day later, Dom Pedro II (1825–1891), Emperor of Brazil , and his wife Teresa Maria Cristina of Naples-Sicily were guests in the new stock exchange.

On March 12, 1945, the eastern corner of the building was badly damaged by a bomb. The house was badly damaged in a major fire on April 13, 1956. During the subsequent restoration, the stock exchange hall (58.8 / 26.5 / 22.8 m) with eleven departments was not restored, but transformed into an inner courtyard, and trading operations resumed on December 7, 1959.

From its construction to the move of Wiener Börse AG to the Palais Caprara-Geymüller at the end of 2001, the building was the seat of this institution. Today it is one of the many attractions on Vienna's Ringstrasse, and its halls are rented out for events. The building is owned by a foundation left by Karl Wlaschek in 2015.

Remarks

  1. ↑ The portal shown at the right end Notbaus was Maria Theresa Street ( ON  20) faces. The elements that graphically surround the motif (barracks, street, housing) were freely composed by the artist .
    The location of the temporary building according to the graphic points to the     Schlickplatz , named in Vienna-Alsergrund in 1872 .
  2. ↑ The Exchange Chamber had rented the wooden building from the Allgemeine Oesterreichische Baugesellschaft . After the temporary solution became free, the construction company - it had been guaranteed decades of tax exemption for the property - tried to outsource the contractually stipulated demolition to third parties as best as possible. Before the dismantling: an auction of the inventory. - See: Daily News. (...) The demolished noise. In:  Morgen-Post , No. 37/1877 (XXVII.

  3. ↑ The planning of the new stock exchange began in 1869/70, the groundbreaking ceremony was held on August 20, 1870, and the foundation excavation started on August 16, 1871. Just two years later, the Vienna stock market crash of 1873 occurred on the premises of the provisional stock exchange . - Probably out of socio-ethical considerations of the still far noticeable consequences of this elementary economic event, but also because of the slow and costly procedure for the construction of the temporary solution, contrary to what is usually claimed, the new stock exchange building was neither ceremoniously opened nor inaugurated.
