Alte Schieberkammer, Schmelz, Water reservoir and event venue in Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, Austria.
The Alte Schieberkammer is a water reservoir and event venue in Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus that forms part of Vienna's First Mountain Spring Pipeline. The building operates simultaneously as storage for mountain spring water and as a contemporary space for gatherings and celebrations.
This facility was built in 1873 during construction of Vienna's First Mountain Spring Pipeline. From the start it played a vital role in delivering fresh alpine water to the expanding city.
The building shows how Viennese people have woven industrial heritage into their everyday life. Today visitors gather here for celebrations and events while the original water storage function continues quietly in the background.
The venue sits conveniently close to public transportation and is easy to reach. Visitors should check ahead about event schedules as access varies depending on what activities are taking place.
The facility demonstrates how aging infrastructure can gain new purpose instead of being demolished. It shows one way cities transform their engineering heritage into spaces people actually use and enjoy.
