Vindobona, Entertainment venue in Vienna, Austria

Vindobona is a cabaret and small-arts stage at Wallensteinplatz 6 in Vienna's 20th district, Brigittenau. The building, completed in 1919, had its courtyard excavated for a ballroom, which became the Vindobona-Kino cinema in 1921; since October 1988 the premises have housed a Kleinkunstbühne with a main hall and a smaller hall.

The building at Wallensteinplatz 6 opened in 1919; its courtyard was excavated for a ballroom, converted in 1921 into the Vindobona-Kino, one of ten suburban cinemas then in Brigittenau. The cinema closed in 1976. Erwin Piplits used the house for his Serapionstheater from 1978, and in October 1988 Fritz Aumayr opened the Kleinkunstbühne Vindobona here.

The house became Austria's largest children's theatre stage under Wolfgang Gratzl's direction from 1999, and young artists used its rooms for exhibitions. Each year it gave Amnesty International Austria a week of free use for charity events, and the Austrian Cabaret Prize was awarded here within the Austrian Cabaret Festival.

The Vindobona is at Wallensteinplatz 6 in Brigittenau, Vienna's 20th district, not in the city centre. The hall is reached via the courtyard of the 1919 building, where the ballroom and later cinema hall were built. Programme times vary, so check the current schedule before travelling.

The building began as a ballroom dug into the courtyard of the 1919 house, became the Vindobona-Kino cinema in 1921, and served as Erwin Piplits's Serapionstheater from 1978 until it moved to the Odeon in the Taborstraße ten years later.
