A Journey Through Viennese History

Historic elevator

Looking back at Vienna's history, elevators were a means of transport for the upper classes, installed in palaces and hotels. It was not until 1873, during the World's Fair, that all Viennese had the opportunity to ride in a hydraulic elevator that led to the roof of the Rotunda. The elevator at The Amauris Vienna is reminiscent of the old days: it was put into operation at the turn of the century, and the tiles, staircase, driver's cabin, and cast iron cladding also date from this era.

Where People Grow Wings

Hubirds by Klara Rusan

Hubirds - A cross between birds and humans.

A human waits for the elevator on the ground floor. After a while, he decides to use the stairs instead. He runs a little, then jumps and finally begins to fly. This unusual staircase, which is rarely used by humans, turns people into Hubirds. The higher the person climbs, the larger their body becomes and the more it is covered with feathers. On the top floor, the seventh, people look for a way out of the building so they can fly outside.
