Comments:
Sign number 93 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

The sign is on a building that was actually built in the 15th century, when changes and renovations were made to it in the 18th century.
The house is also called "Zur Mariahilf" after the relief on it that was made in the 16th century and on which the mother of Jesus is raised, and Jesus is in her hands.
