Beginning in 1860 Emperor Franz Joseph I moved all of the ma\u0026shy;jor political and cultural buildings of the city\u0026mdash;from the opera and the theater to the parliament, city hall, university, and even the Kaiserforum\u0026mdash;to the area where the old city defenses had once formed a ring around Vienna. The world\u0026rsquo;s largest construction site at the time, the famous Ringstrasse later became a place where the prosperous middle class established a site for their own building projects, which rivaled those of the court and nobility. This volume brings the \u0026ldquo;society of the Ringstrasse\u0026rdquo; to life; it tells the sto\u0026shy;ry of the architects and artists involved in this fasci\u0026shy;nating ensemble and of everyday life behind the fa\u0026ccedil;ades. Contemporary photographs capture the wealth of this architectural legacy and are shown alongside previously unpublished historical photo\u0026shy;graphs.
