Wagner Haus
-
Next to the Majolika House is another of Otto Wagner’s Art Nouveau-style buildings. The six-storey house has a white plastered façade with beautiful golden stucco elements. Between the top row of windows are golden medallions with female heads, designed by Wagner’s fellow artist Koloman Moser (1868–1918). Golden palm leaves are spread above the medallions and peacock feathers underneath reach down to the windows below. Above the rounded corner with an iron-and-glass porch are statues of female “callers” by Othmar Schimkowitz (1864–1947). Some of the designs are from Wagner’s students who also became well-known architects, such as Josef Maria Olbrich, the Secession building’s architect.
