Fillgraderstiege, Art Nouveau staircase in Mariahilf, Vienna, Austria.
Fillgraderstiege is a staircase in the Mariahilf district that connects two streets and features artful tiles and metal ornaments throughout. The stairs display intricate ironwork details on the railings and walls along their entire length.
Architect Max Hegele built this staircase in 1907 as Vienna expanded rapidly and needed new connections between neighborhoods. The structure was part of a broader reshaping of the district during that century.
The staircase displays the early 1900s Viennese taste for flowing lines and curved forms visible throughout the railings and ornamental details. This approach to design was typical of the era and still defines the character of the neighborhood today.
The staircase is open to the public and connects two streets, making it a practical shortcut through the district. The steps are relatively narrow and require careful footing, especially in wet weather.
A renovation in the 1980s brought a cafe and art gallery into an unused interior space within the staircase. These additions give the structure a dual purpose beyond its role as a simple passage between streets.
