Venice in the Praterstraße
In the course of the Planting for the city expansion in 1857, the municipal councils had also considered assigning certain districts to the individual peoples of the Monarchy. Leopoldstadt was said to have been settled by an Italian colony, but the loss of almost all Italian provinces that had meanwhile ceased damped the enthusiasm of federal urban planners , Nevertheless, in 1898 Maximilian Haas left ,, in honor. the beautiful city of Venice "(Diner in the hallway)" the "Dogenhof" by the architect Caufall to motifs of Ca' d'Oro on the Grand Canal, and thus can be found above the coffee house entrance, a stone relief of the indispensable Venetian lion.[1][2]
The Dogenhof still offers an idea of what it used to be: a large, well-kept corner café in Venetian style. In the middle of the 19th century, a house similar to the Ca d 'Oro in Venice was built in what is today the 2nd district. At that time, the local authorities had considered allocating various parts of Vienna to the individual peoples of the great monarchy. And Leopoldstadt was to become Little Venetia. It did not turn out then. Of the hasty anticipation testify only sparse remains: the lush stucco on the ceiling, the magnificent chandelier and two chairs.[3]
