Beethovenplatz in Vienna

Vienna Imperial Hall Today's Beethovenplatz was during medieval times an area of the suburban Vienna. Since the 16th century the Glacis was located in front of the city wall. From 1865 on, in the course of the slighting of the viennese city wall and the formation of the Viennese Ringstraße numerous historical buildings were developed in this area. In 1899 after the vaulting of the Wienfluss, Beethovens monument was placed in the middle of the square - facing Lothringerstraße. In 1904, the for so many years nameless area received a new name Beethovenplatz.
