Schwarzenbergplatz

Schwarzenbergplatz then continues briefly until it becomes Rennweg Straße as it passes by the large enclosed parks of Belvedere-Garten and the Palais Schwarzenberg, and the Schwarzenberggarten to the west.

A large equestrian statue of Austrian field marshal Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg, who fought with distinction in the Napoleonic Wars, is on display.

Until the mid-19th century, most of the area of today's Schwarzenberg square was occupied by Vienna's city walls.

In the course of restructuring, the few green spaces that had existed until then were removed, a matter of much public criticism.

Under the Schwarzenberg Square courses the Wien River and the underground line U4, and it was also once the location for the "Zwingburg", a shelter for homeless people who retreated into the Viennese sewers.
