In the exam (German)
1857 ordnete Kaiser Franz Joseph an, die alte Stadtmauer von Wien abzureißen. An ihrer Stelle entstand die Ringstraße. Welche dieser Gebäude wurden danach an der Ringstraße gebaut?
- aThe ParliamentDas ParlamentCorrect answer
- bThe State OperaDie StaatsoperCorrect answer
- cThe BurgtheaterDas BurgtheaterCorrect answer
- dSt Charles’s ChurchDie Karlskirche
Why?
In the second half of the 19th century, large public buildings such as the Parliament, the State Opera (Staatsoper) and the Burgtheater were built along the new grand boulevard. St Charles’s Church (Karlskirche) is much older: it was built in the Baroque style in the 18th century and stands on Karlsplatz, not on the Ringstrasse.
