The Schwarzenbergplatz is one of the most important squares in central Vienna. One prominent feature of the square is the Hochstrahlbrunnen, a large fountain that looks like a geyser with pseudo-natural rocks in a circular pool. Sandwiched between the Palais Schwarzenberg and the Hochstrahlbrunnen, you find the Soviet memorial "Heldendenkmal der Roten Armee" - its shape and array corresponds with both, Palais and fountain. However, the Hochstrahlbrunnen is much older. It was built to celebrate the construction of the first water pipeline from the Styrian alps to Vienna in 1873. In the decades before, the water supplies from various springs in the Vienna Woods and through the Wien River had proved to be insufficient for the ever-increasing population of Vienna.

It is located on Schwarzenbergplatz and was put into operation on 24 October 1873 in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph I on the occasion of the completion of the First Vienna High Spring Water Pipeline after a construction period of four months. Prince Johann Adolf II zu Schwarzenberg had agreed to the construction of the fountain in September 1872 and requested that the "discharge of the water quantum" should serve "to irrigate the existing facilities dedicated to public pleasure". The place is well planned in terms of planning, a large amount of greenery and small infrastructure. You can feel the gentle breeze from the fountain.

Привет всем читателям и путешественникам! На этой площади, почти в центре австрийской столицы красавицы Вены, находится грандиозный памятник воинам Красной армии, которые освободили Австрию от фашизма. Очень мощное и фундаментальное произведение искусства. Благодарные жители Вены, да и видимо граждане всей Австрии, помнят и чтят солдат Красной армии, погибших на полях сражений против нацизма. Я лично верю в то, что эта память от всего сердца. Очень красивое место. Есть фонтан. Рядом много достопримечательностей. Венская опера, Венский дом музыки, Венская филармония, много красивых парков. Да и в целом Вена очень прекрасна. Жители отличаются гостеприимством. А гостей и туристов в Вене очень много. Лично мне и моей жене совсем не знакомый горожанин, пожилой приятный мужчина, совсем уже старик, подарил праздничные проездные билеты для проезда в метро. Это очень приятно и мне запомнится навсегда. Встретились мы с ним у станции метро, что не далеко от магазина Оби, на западной окраине Вены, когда заезжаешь в город со стороны Линца. Унтер Санкт Фейт такое название этой станции метро. Дай бог здоровья этому мужчине. Помог в тот день очень хорошо. Возвращаясь в центр Вены ещё раз скажу, что Вена очаровательна. Я был в Вене днём и уехал из города засветло. Хочу теперь побывать в Вене поздно вечером.

The Hochstrahlbrunnen is a beautiful fountain located near the Schwarzenbergplatz. Its multiple jets create an impressive display, especially when lit up at night. The fountain was built to celebrate the opening of Vienna’s water pipeline and is surrounded by peaceful green spaces, making it a nice spot to relax. With its historical significance and location near other attractions, it’s worth a quick visit while exploring Vienna.

what a shame! red army invaded Poland together with Nazzi. it is red army who invaded Finland. red army is responsible for millions of deaths of civilians in Europe. red army is not better than nazzi. there shouldn’t be a place for such monument in modern Europe. the same regime invaded Ukraine now!!! Austrian government what is happening?

Lovely fountain with plenty of space around to sit and relax. Hochstrahlbrunnen (high-jet fountain) stands there to commemorate Vienna's first spring water pipeline in 1873. A special feature of the Hochstrahlbrunnen is that at night it is lit by 365 multicolored lights - representing each day of the year - not to be missed at night!
