Altes Rathaus, Vienna

The Alte Rathaus (Old Council House) is a building in central Vienna, located at Wipplingerstraße 8, 1st District.

The council chamber was redesigned between 1851 and 1853 by the Viennese architect Ferdinand Fellner the Elder.

In 1706, the Wiener Stadtbank was established and started operations in the city hall building, and remained there until 1754.

[1] On 26 May 1848, during Vienna's March Revolution, it housed meetings of the People's Security Committee, as memorialised by a plaque on the building.

Since 1871 Sankt Salvator has been in the care of the Old Catholic Church of Austria, which was founded by those rejecting the doctrine of papal infallibility, though that new religious community was only recognised by the Austrian state in 1877.
