Palais Gutmann, historicist palace in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria

Palais Gutmann is a five-storey palace built in 1869–1871 by Carl Tietz for Wilhelm von Gutmann at Beethovenplatz 3 in Vienna's Innere Stadt, in the New Viennese Renaissance style. Its high rusticated base and flat rustication give the facade a massive look. A tall round-arched portal is flanked by four Ionic pilasters carrying a balcony with a stone balustrade; the windows are framed by Ionic pilasters, and a broad arabesque frieze runs along the fourth floor.

Palais Gutmann was built in 1869–1871 by architect Carl Tietz for the wealthy Jewish coal-trading Gutmann family, in the New Viennese Renaissance style. Expropriated in 1938, it was used by the NSDAP from 1941, with Franz Klimscha commissioned to redesign it. Carl Kronfuss carried out a further redesign in 1956–1961; the building is now managed by Austria Immobilien GmbH (BAI).

The name Gutmann refers to the Jewish family that built and lived in this palace through coal trading success. The ordered facade with its decorated windows and balanced proportions reflects how wealthy residents used architecture to display their status in the city.

The palace stands on Beethovenplatz in Vienna's center and is easily accessible on foot, with shops and cafes nearby. The interior is not usually open to the public, but the facade can be viewed and photographed from the street.

Among the paintings inside the palace are August Eisenmenger's "Twelve Months". The rooms also keep their original wall panelling, wooden coffered ceilings and marble fireplaces, and a staircase with Corinthian marble columns leads to the upper floors.
