Sign number 115 from the "Vienna - the city introduces itself" series of signs, an initiative established in 1956 as part of the Vienna Festival, which shows significant places in the city. The serial number is displayed at the bottom of the sign.
Above the sign are 4 flags of Austria, which is a hallmark of the project, and the possibility of recognizing it from a distance Click for a larger image

The sign is on the first skyscraper in Vienna, built by the architect Joseph Kornhäusel, who built the building for his needs.

The building was photographed that day Click for a larger image
