The Crime SceneCalling all the detectives!
Währinger Strasse, 21
Fortuna KinderwagenFortuna Prams
Once upon a time,
Fortuna Pram Manufacturers sold
their wares in this store,
corner of Währinger and Lackiererstrasse.
Beethoven-HofNice try,
but Beethoven never lived here!
(Quite a feat, since he managed to move
at least five dozen times, to more than
60 residences all over Vienna.)
BeethovengasseOne of the city's
incredibly efficient street cleaners,
officially know as
Department MA48.
Lackierer- and BeethovengasseTwo of the cities'
many One-Way Streets.
Garnisongasse 15Austrian National Bank
This is what you see,
when you turn the corner
of Währinger Strasse 21
into Lackierergasse
and look straight ahead
towards the end of the street.
To reach Garnisongasse,
you pass the buildings shown above.
Facing Garnisongasse 15,looking up to your right,
you turn at least a century back,
to read the time
off this clock.
I think it's time
for coffee! :-)

ReplyDeleteEnjoy! :-)
oooooowww!
ReplyDeleteclicking is GOOD
for the 9th district!
:-)
{{ that Beethoven!
he never slept
in the same place twice,
it seems }}
Wonderful, comme toujours! Bet it takes an army of cleaners to keep Vienna sparkling.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh about the Beethovan place where he never lived.
ReplyDeleteThe words TAX DAY is causing my ears to ring and brain to shut down.
ReplyDeleteAieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
and on the day I received my tax return forms too!!
ReplyDeletethe architecture reflects your mood today!?
Time for coffee? Please may I dwell more on some of those sights that you depict?
ReplyDeleteThe 9th district is lovely. I like that they clean their streets--that's a big job for one guy there, though! No big equipment-street cleaners, eh?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tour! Yes, you deserve a cup of coffee now.
ReplyDeleteCan I be so bold as to ask what equipment you are using? :)
ReplyDeletetax? URGH!!!
ReplyDeleteI forgot all about tax day! This was a very nice diversion. I really love the bank photo.
ReplyDeletesomepinkflowers,
ReplyDeleteBeethoven sort of liked progressive composing, ;-)
Moannie,
my street has recently been scrubbed and washed, imagine! :-)
Charles Gramlich,
smile! :-)
parisbreakfasts,
today is the 16th,
all that's left to do is waiting for the refund. ;-)
Fat, frumpy and fifty,
there may be some connection to my mood ... *smile*
Wandring Star,
you are welcome to linger! ;-)
A Brush with Color,
it is not the lack of big equipment, but more a question of being able to clean without disturbing the quiet of the city, I think.
MuseSwings,
thank you! :-)
Seamus,
I use a Nikon DSRD and a small LUMIX camera.
simon,
how about a spoonful of sugar? ;-)
Louise,
an interesting building, isn't it?
I like the way it sits among the older buildings.
I've popped onto your lovely blog, Merisi. Your photography leaves me breathless. I loved "birdbath" also love that your streets are so spotless. Thanks for the tour. Enjoy your coffee... Hugs
ReplyDeleteWow, this bring memories! As a refugee from the Soviet Union, I lived with my parents and 2 other refugee families in a rented apartment in Beethoven Hof in the summer of 1979. Nothing changed in that apartment at the time since WW2! Plates in the cupboard had swastika painted on the bottom:-) I also remember Kinderwagen store in the corner!
ReplyDeleteWhat business is being transacted in Beethoven Hof these days? Last time I was in Vienna 10 years ago, I think there was some fancy art gallery there. And when did Kinderwagen close? Is it Chinese competition or Viennese not having enough babies:-)
ReplyDeleteLeo,
ReplyDeleteI will check both the Beethoven Hof and the Kinderwagen business, next time I am in the area!
The British (MacLaren) have been pretty innovative with the newer types of prams, the so-called strollers, as have the Italians.
Thank you, Merisi! You are lucky to live in Vienna:-)
