A plaque on the west corner of the building (see WM7R98) commemorates of the Ring theatre fire. The Ringtheater, located on this place, was destroyed in a fire desaster in 1881 and the so-called Sühnhaus (Atonement House) was built here. This was badly damaged in 1945 and eventually fell down in 1951; between 1969 and 1974, an office block was erected on the site, in which the Federal headquarters for police in Vienna is housed since 1974.

Visit Instructions:
To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.
I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
