Donnerbrunnen is the popular name for the Providentia Fountain, designed by Georg Raphael Donner and built from 1737 to 1739 on the Neuer Markt in Vienna's 1st district of Innere Stadt. However, the Viennese had little use for the term providentia, which is why they named it after its builder. In terms of art history, there is often talk of the flour market fountain, as the Neuer Markt was still called Mehlmarkt in the 18th century. During the construction of an underground car park, the fountain was temporarily removed from 2018 to 2022.

Haus Wittgenstein is a house in the modernist style on the Kundmanngasse, Vienna, Austria.

The house was commissioned by Margaret Stonborough-Wittgenstein, who asked the architect Paul Engelmann to design a townhouse for her. Stonborough-Wittgenstein invited her brother, the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, to help with the design. In the end, he became more author than helper.
