Strudlhofstiege, Art Nouveau staircase in Alsergrund, Austria
The Strudlhofstiege connects Strudlhofgasse with Liechtensteinstrasse through 58 steps made of bright Mannersdorf limestone, featuring two symmetrical fountains with decorative masks.
The stairs, opened in 1910, were designed by architect Theodor Johann Jaeger and named after Peter Strudel, who established an art school at this location in 1688.
The staircase gained fame through Heimito von Doderer's 1951 novel 'Die Strudlhofstiege', which uses the location as a central element in its narrative.
The limestone structure connects two street levels in Vienna's ninth district, providing pedestrians with direct access between residential areas and public transportation.
During outdoor concerts and choir performances, the architectural design of the steps creates natural amphitheater acoustics, enhancing sound distribution throughout the space.
