Baumgarten, Vienna

Baumgarten (Central Bavarian: Baamgoatn) is an area of Vienna's fourteenth district.

Until the 19th century, it had a very rural character with farms and vineyards and it was a popular summer holiday retreat for the citizens of Vienna.

Right opposite it is the "Baumgarten Casino" that still hosts music and dance events.

The commemorative plaque that was originally mounted on the house is now stored at the district museum of Penzing.
