Ringstrasse Street
Description:
Ringstrasse, that is, Ringstrasse Street, is a large street in Vienna, encircling the historical center of the city. Ringstrasse is located on the site of the medieval walls of the city. In 1850, when the city grew and included in its territory neighboring areas, it was decided to demolish the wall, and in its place to build a ring road. The decree prescribing the creation of such a road and the location of important objects on it was issued in 1857 by Emperor Franz Joseph I. Subsequently, many famous and majestic buildings were built on the sides of the road. Tram tracks were also laid.
The ringstrasse consists of several streets. From the north, if you move counterclockwise: Shottenring, Dr.-Karl-Lueger-Ring, Dr.-Karl-Renner-Ring, Burgring, Operaring, Kerntner Ring, Schubertring, Parking, Stubenring.
