City map of Vienna 1350
Viennese city history is far beyond boring if diving into the original sources. We tried to reconstruct historic places within the medieval city of Vienna and transfer their location onto a modern map of the city which we try to keep updated while doing research.
We also intend to add photos of the sites from today and document the history of single buildings.
We would love to see that this map is inspiring some of our Viennese readers and visitors of our beautiful city to a citywalk on the trails of medieval Vienna, even if mostly only a few signs of the monuments-office and house-owners tell about the medieval treasures under the younger buildings of the inner city district.
