Bürgerliches Zeughaus, Vienna, Historical armory in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria
The Bürgerliches Zeughaus features a baroque facade with ornate decorations, including allegorical figures and a double eagle displaying the Vienna coat of arms.
The building, constructed in 1562 on the site of a former Jewish meat market, stored weapons for Vienna's defense until French forces emptied it in 1809.
Architect Anton Ospel redesigned the main facade in 1731, incorporating sculptural elements by Lorenzo Matielli that represent strength and perseverance through symbolic figures.
Located at Am Hof 9-10 in Vienna's first district, the former armory now functions as the central fire station for the municipal fire department.
Two figures on the building's pediment support a golden globe marked with intertwined 'C' letters and the Roman numeral 'VI', referencing Emperor Charles VI.
