In 1894, Otto Wagner was commissioned with the architectural design of the Stadtbahn network with its 36 stations, viaducts and bridges over a total length of 40 km. With respect to their design, place in architectural history and Vienna’s urbanistic tissue, the station buildings, which were planned for above- and belowground line routing, are outstanding examples of mass transit structures.
