Palais Wittgenstein, Renaissance Revival city palace in Wieden, Austria

The Palais Wittgenstein stood at Argentinierstrasse 16, featuring classical symmetry with decorative elements across its four-story limestone facade.

Friedrich Schachner designed this residence in 1873 for Franz Pranter, who later sold it to steel industrialist Karl Wittgenstein, father of philosopher Ludwig.

The palace hosted private musical performances attended by Viennese musicians, including regular visits from composer Gustav Mahler in the early 1900s.

The structure remained at coordinates 48.1966 latitude and 16.3717 longitude until its demolition in 1950s, replaced by residential apartments.

Karl Wittgenstein retired at his career peak to support arts movements, contributing funds to the Vienna Secession and Wiener Werkstätte from this palace.
