Hietzing U-Bahn Station - 21 August 2017

One of the greatest joys of my most recent visit to Vienna was to discover and learn more about the works of Otto Wagner. Prominent amongst these were the stations of the Stadtbahn which are very beautiful, poised delicately as they are between the ornate and the simple.

The Stadtbahn was absorbed into the U-Bahn and, in parts, the S-Bahn but many of the station buildings survive although only Stadtpark is near-original at platform level.

This is Hietzing station which is now on U-Bahn line U4.
