Otto Wagner Pavilion
-
The two pavilions on Karlsplatz were built by the architect Otto Wagner in 1897 as twin stations for the Vienna City Train, the horse-drawn and then steam-powered predecessors of today’s underground. In total Wagner designed 34 stations and various bridges and viaducts for the train line that was finished in 1901. The pavilions on Karlsplatz are made of steel and marble slabs, and the roof over the arched entrance gate is decorated with golden ornaments. Both stations lost their function when the modern underground lines were built and are today used as exhibition spaces by the Historic Museum and as a popular café.
