Many actors and their audiences visited Café Corra and its charming Schanigarten. Just around the corner, where the Sacher Hotel is today, is the Kärntnertortheater. Particularly advantageous for this success was the Schanigarten founded by Corra, which he furnished with tables, chairs, umbrellas and potted plants. He had it refurbished in 1836 and his Café Corra soon became one of the most important cafes in Vienna.
From there, the current Albertina graphic collection developed, one of the most important art collections in the world, a splendid vis-à-vis for our guests.Īfter several changes of ownership, the café experienced its first flowering period under Simon Corra. Here, Duke Albert of Saxony-Teschen, son-in-law of Empress Maria-Theresa, housed his art collection from 1805 onwards.
Opposite, on the ruins of the fortifications of the old city, from 1745 stands the Palazzo Taroucca. Much of what Vienna is famous for today, such as the Vienna State Opera, the Albertina museum or the ring road, did not yet exist when Georg Pöhlein opened a café in the so-called Bürgerspitalzinshaus.
