Neue Wiener Buehne, Protected heritage theatre in Alsergrund, Vienna, Austria

Neue Wiener Buehne is a theatre in Vienna's Alsergrund district with classical architectural details and multiple performance halls inside. The building accommodates different types of productions and is legally protected as a cultural monument.

The theatre was built in the 19th century as an entertainment venue for Vienna's audience. It was later granted protected status due to its architectural importance and has been preserved since.

The name Orpheum, used from 1868, referred to the variety programme; from 1872 Eduard Danzer ran it as Danzers Orpheum, where the Fiakerball was regularly held and guests included the Prince of Wales and King Milan I Obrenović of Serbia. From 1908 the house was called Neue Wiener Bühne and turned to spoken drama.

The theatre no longer exists: the auditorium and stage were removed in 1928 and 1934, and the Wasagasse 33 building now holds flats. Visitors can only see the facade from the street; there is no entrance, no seating and no booking. The unusually articulated front hints at the former hall.

The building was formerly known as Danzers Orpheum and retains original structural details from its days as a variety hall. These historic features still display the craftsmanship typical of 19th-century Viennese entertainment venues.
