On the Grid : Strudlhofstiege

"The Strudlhofstiege is one of Vienna's most important Jugendstil - also known as Art Nouveau - buildings. In the center of the stairs there's a split fountain decorated with ornaments. Take the 58 steps and you get within seconds from Strudlhofgasse to Liechtensteinstraße, deeper in the ninth district. Thanks to a novel by Heimito von Doderer, "Die Strudlhofstiege oder Melzer und die Tiefe der Jahre" written in 1951, the stairs became world-famous. As soon as its dark, the place looks somehow Parisian and unbelievably romantic." - Maximilian Mauracher

A lovely poetic memorial to Mortiz Schlick, even if he isnt named. This is plave is hugely important to the history of academic and science. Its some windy stairs down to a pretty fountain. Its a shame there is lots of graffiti on the benches, but not a huge problem. The view from the bottom is nice and the poem is nice and meaningful. Worth a visit and a research if you are interested in philosophy and pre-WW2 science, etc.

The staircases are absolutely beautiful, elegant, winding, and full of charm. It’s the kind of place that feels like it was made for quiet moments and dreamy photos. The soft curves, the green railings, the little fountain, everything just works together perfectly. It’s tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood, so it feels like a secret escape from the busier parts of the city.

Interesting place to visit. Some positive energy can be felt. Story about lower fountain is missing however.

Beautiful stairs. They were located right next to my hotel. It's a nice location, especially at night. If you're around, you can definitely check it out. Otherwise, don't travel huge distances to get there. It's not worth it.

Just stairs, no need to visit on purpose but good to see if being nearby

Wonderful stairs in the middle of the city that inspired Heimito von Doderer to write a classic about it.
