Simmering, Vienna
Simmering (; Central Bavarian: ''Simmaring'') is the 11th district of Vienna, Austria (german: 11. Bezirk, Simmering). It borders the Danube and was established as a district in 1892. Simmering has several churches, some museums, schools, old castles, and four cemeteries, one of them being the Wiener Zentralfriedhof, one of the largest cemeteries of Europe. History The first indications of the settlement ''Simmering'' are from 1028. A brewery was built in 1605 and continued to bring in revenue for the area for more than 300 years. Simmering remained small until 1860, when the ''Rinnböckhäuser'' housing development was built, which at the time was the second-largest in Vienna, and resulted in rapid growth in the area. ''Kaiserebersdorf'' (earlier known as ''Ebersdorf'') was one of the original villages in the district and held the residence of the ''Ebendorfer'' dynasty. Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II hunted frequently in the area and converted the residence into the huntin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Schloss Neugebäude
Neugebäude Palace (german: Schloss Neugebäude) is a large Mannerist castle complex in the Simmering district of Vienna, Austria. It was built from 1569 onwards, at the behest of the Habsburg emperor Maximilian II. The site of the palace is said to be where the Ottoman Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent's tent was erected during the 1529 Siege of Vienna. The palace was apparently modeled after it. It fell into disuse already in the 17th century and today stands in ruins. Protected as a historical monument since the 1970s, there are various efforts to restore the site. In 1922, Clemens Holzmeister's architectural designs for Austria's first crematorium placed ''Feuerhalle Simmering'' into the walled gardens of the derelict Schloss Neugebäude, thus putting the former palace gardens with its many ancient trees (designated natural monument A natural monument is a natural or natural/cultural feature of outstanding or unique value because of its inherent rarity, representative of ...

Unicorn
The unicorn is a legendary creature that has been described since antiquity as a beast with a single large, pointed, spiraling horn projecting from its forehead. In European literature and art, the unicorn has for the last thousand years or so been depicted as a white horse-like or goat-like animal with a long straight horn with spiralling grooves, cloven hooves, and sometimes a goat's beard. In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, it was commonly described as an extremely wild woodland creature, a symbol of purity and grace, which could be captured only by a virgin. In encyclopedias, its horn was described as having the power to render poisoned water potable and to heal sickness. In medieval and Renaissance times, the tusk of the narwhal was sometimes sold as a unicorn horn. A bovine type of unicorn is thought by some scholars to have been depicted in seals of the Bronze Age Indus Valley civilization, the interpretation remaining controversial. An equine form of the unicorn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
