About Haltestelle Hietzing

The ‘Imperial and Royal Court Pavilion’ in Hietzing, completed in 1899, is one of the most striking features of the Wiener Stadtbahn, Vienna's metropolitan railway. Otto Wagner, one of the most important pioneers of 20th-century modern architecture, was commissioned to create the artistic design for this new urban public transport system. The idea of building a court pavilion also came from him. The importance of the imperial station was primarily symbolic; it was intended to help modern architecture reach its zenith. The fact that Emperor Franz Joseph only used the pavilion twice was secondary. More important was the public impact of this small structure with its sensational new use of forms and its sumptuous interiors. El «Pabellón de la Corte Imperial y Real» en Hietzing, finalizado en 1899, es uno de los elementos más destacados del Wiener Stadtbahn, el ferrocarril metropolitano de Viena. Otto Wagner, uno de los pioneros más importantes de la arquitectura moderna del siglo XX, recibió el encargo de crear el diseño artístico de este nuevo sistema de transporte público urbano. La idea de construir un pabellón de la corte también provino de él. La importancia de la estación imperial era sobre todo simbólica; debía contribuir a que la arquitectura moderna alcanzara su máximo esplendor. El hecho de que el emperador Francisco José solo utilizara el pabellón dos veces fue secundario. Más importante aún fue el impacto público de esta pequeña estructura con su sensacional nuevo uso de las formas y sus suntuosos interiores. Wagner repeatedly attempted to convince the emperor and his court of the extraordinary quality of his project using impressive presentation drawings. He skilfully exploited the imperial glamour of the Court Pavilion to secure his position as an architect and gain support for modern architecture.
