St. Stephen's Cathedral (German: Stephansdom) is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, OP. The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral has borne witness to many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has, with its multi-coloured tile roof, become one of the city's most recognizable symbols. ]]> 2023-03-07 20:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/zflzdvti0ehamioq/wish/2507488764 SPOT 9 Stock im Eisen Platz, Wien letschallengethefuture https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/zflzdvti0ehamioq/wish/2507488765 Task 9 - Take a picture of the "Stock im Eisen"

The Stock im Eisen (German: "staff in iron") is the midsection of a tree-trunk from the Middle Ages, a so-called nail-tree (Nagelbaum), into which hundreds of nails have been pounded for good luck over centuries. It is located in Vienna, Austria, in Stock-im-Eisen-Platz, now part of Stephansplatz, at the corner of the Graben and Kärntner Straße and is now behind glass on a corner of the Palais Equitable. ]]> 2023-03-07 20:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/zflzdvti0ehamioq/wish/2507488765 SPOT 8 Michaelerplatz, Wien letschallengethefuture https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/zflzdvti0ehamioq/wish/2507488766 Task 8 - Take a picture of the main gate of the Hofburg. 

One of the (many) joys of Vienna is finding little places to stand in and feel like you travelled back in time. One such place is Michaelerplatz, the historic city-centre square at one end of the Hofburg palace complex. ]]> 2023-03-07 20:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/zflzdvti0ehamioq/wish/2507488766 SPOT 7 Reitschulgasse, Wien letschallengethefuture https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/zflzdvti0ehamioq/wish/2507488767 2023-03-07 20:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/zflzdvti0ehamioq/wish/2507488767 SPOT 6 Kaisergruft, Tegetthoffstraße, Wien letschallengethefuture https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/zflzdvti0ehamioq/wish/2507488768 Task 6 - Take a selfie of your group and the main gate of the crypt.

The Imperial Crypt (German: Kaisergruft), also called the Capuchin Crypt (Kapuzinergruft), is a burial chamber beneath the Capuchin Church and monastery in Vienna, Austria. It was founded in 1618 and dedicated in 1632, and located on the Neuer Markt square of the Innere Stadt, near the Hofburg Palace. Since 1633, the Imperial Crypt serves as the principal place of entombment for the members of the House of Habsburg.[1] The bones of 145 Habsburg royalty, plus urns containing the hearts or cremated remains of four others, are here, including 12 emperors and 18 empresses. The visible 107 metal sarcophagi and five heart urns range in style from puritan plain to exuberant rococo.[1] Some of the dozen resident Capuchin friars continue their customary role as the guardians and caretakers of the crypt, along with their other pastoral work in Vienna.[Note 1] The most recent entombment was in 2011. ]]> 2023-03-07 20:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/zflzdvti0ehamioq/wish/2507488768 SPOT 5 CM Mode Boutique, Tegetthoffstraße, Wien letschallengethefuture https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/zflzdvti0ehamioq/wish/2507488769 Task 5 - Take a picture of the famous shop window of the boutique.


The striking shop can even be seen from a distance with its segmented, incomplete circle that transitions into the lettering, and found again in the logo. The flat entrance of anodised aluminium, tinted glass and orange plastic represents just a thin separating layer between the outside world and the only 19.5 square metre showroom. As it does for Retti, it absorbs the air conditioning and ventilation units. The lettering for “Christa Metek” was realised in green Perspex. Inside, moveable lights in the corners of the portal run on rails.

As a walk-in monument, it is intended to serve as a reminder of the darkest epoch in Austrian history. It is dedicated to all victims of war and fascism. ]]> 2023-03-07 20:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/zflzdvti0ehamioq/wish/2507488771 SPOT 2 Albertina, Albertinaplatz, Wien letschallengethefuture https://padlet.com/letschallengethefuture/zflzdvti0ehamioq/wish/2507488772 Task 2: Take a selfie with your group and the statue in front of the museum
