History

The cathedral was first built as a parish church, in 1147, and rebuilt and enlarged over the centuries, with major new work concluding in 1511, although repair and restoration have continued from the beginning to the present day.

It was previously thought that the church had been built in an open field outside the city walls; but excavations for a long-awaited heating system during 2000 revealed graves that were carbon-dated to the fourth century, 8 feet (2.5 meters) below the surface. The 430 skeletons were then moved to the catacombs. Thousands of others must have been buried in the ancient cemetery of this neighbourhood, starting in Roman times; and this, instead of the Ruprechtskirche, may be the oldest church site in Vienna.

The first recorded church here was founded in 1137, by Duke Leopold IV in a contract with Reginmar, Bishop of Passau. The church was dedicated to St. Stephen, the patron of the bishop's cathedral in Passau. The first church building was built in the Romanesque style and consecrated ten years later. The present west wall and Roman towers date from 1237. After a great fire in the city in 1258, a larger replacement structure, also Romanesque and reusing the Roman towers, was consecrated, on 23 April 1263, an anniversary highlighted each year by a rare ringing of the Pummerin bell for three minutes in the evening.

In 1304, Emperor Albert I ordered construction of a Gothic three-naved choir, further east of the church and wide enough to meet the tips of the old transepts. Work continued under his son Duke Albert II; this latest work was consecrated in 1340, on the 77th anniversary of the previous consecration. The motif of the north nave furnishings was St. Mary; the middle nave was for St. Stephen and All the Saints; and the Apostles were honoured in the south nave. This part of the present cathedral, east of the present stubby transepts, is called the Albertine Choir.

In 1359, Albert II's son Duke Rudolf IV, who is called "the founder", laid, in the vicinity of the present south tower, the cornerstone for a Gothic extension of Albert's choir westward, to encapsulate the existing second church. That old church was then removed from inside the new one.

The Stephansdom was saved from intentional destruction at the hands of retreating German forces during World War II, when Captain Gerhard Klinkicht disregarded orders from the city commandant, Sepp Dietrich, to "fire a hundred shells and leave it in just debris and ashes".

One of the fires set by plunderers when Russian troops entered the city was carried by the wind to the cathedral, severely damaging it on 12 April 1945. Fortunately, protective brick shells had been built around the pulpit, Frederick III's tomb, and other treasures, so that damage to the most valuable artworks was minimized. Unfortunately, the beautifully carved choir stalls from 1487 were burned. Rebuilding began immediately, with a limited reopening on 12 December 1948 and a full reopening on 23 April 1952

The Romanesque and gothic cathedral is 107 meters (351 feet) long and 34 meters (111.5 feet) wide. The soot accumulated over centuries has been removed in recent years, changing its colour from black to white.

More Information about the Cathedral her interesting exterior and interior you can find in Wikipedia in english and german language from where the history of the cathedral is leaned out for this cachelisting.

The Cache…

….is well hidden close to the cathedral. Even it is not necessary to enter the church for finding the cache, I recommend to take a look for the wonderful and impressive interior of this gothic cathedral. Entry is possible from 07:30am to 09:00pm daily and it's free!! The attribute in the header means parking fee on weekdays only.

The GPS response is not the very best at this place, so when your GPSr means you arrived at the cache, go to the cathedral and investigate. The Cache is a Nanocache and therefore to small for a logbook. So logging the cache is possible with an upload of a photo of the cache and your GPSr only. Logs without a uploaded photo will be deleted without any comment. Please be careful when making the photo, that you are not showing the hideout on your picture.

The initial content was:

1 Cachenote
1 Log

and some fine trading items

And don't forget, that stealth mode is absolutely indispensable for retrieving and rehiding this cache, so please be careful to keep the cache alive!!! THX!! (Remember, that 3 million people are visiting this place every year, so you can imagine the amount of muggles there) It's up on you and your fantasy to find a way for retrieving and rehiding the cache and stay unobserved...........

Happy caching

17. marzo 2008 Humulus non ha trovato la geocache

Trotz mehrmaliger suche zu viert (bei Tag, bei Nacht, bei sonnenschein und auch im strömenden Regen) keinerlei Erfolg gehabt.
Gefunden hatten wir bereits beim ersten mal die typische Magnetenhalterung eines solchen Nanocaches.
Daher schreibe ich mal kein simplen DNF sondern "Der is einfach nicht mehr da"-Log.

Zuerst wollte mich mein GPS an die falsche Stelle locken aber mit etwas Geosinn war der Cache dann bald gefunden. Am schwierigsten war es mit klammen Fingern den Logstreifen aus dem Container zu bergen und den Logeintrag zu schreiben.

Das Foto ist leider qualitativ miserabel - der Cache ist aber unterhalb des GPS erkennbar. Sonst bitte den Logstreifen prüfen. TFTC.

Dieser Cache sollte eigentlich der erste unserer Wientour sein. Beim ersten Anlauf am Vormittag war es aufgrund des Muggelaufkommens bzw. unserer mehr als schlechten GPS Verbindung fast unmöglich. Also wurde er auf Nachmittag verschoben. Mit Hilfe des Telefonjokers von Angeleye dann recht rasch gefunden. TFTC

25. marzo 2007 Gustus ha trovato la geocache

Eines sollte man beim Dosensuchen schon machen: Die richtigen Koordinaten ins GPS eintippen (dieser Fehler passiert mir nicht oft). Ziemlich ratlos auf dem großen Platz herumgesucht. Bis E gesagt hat: Los, Koordinatenkontrolle! Naja, so gehts eben. Dann von E schnell gefunden (Augen hat sie wie ein Luchs). Danke für den Cache.

Number 1 today on another visi to Vienna:

We came quite early in the morning. As the weather was rather bad, too the place was nearly empty. [:O] Only some "Mozarts" were selling cards for the concerts...

Quick and easy found.
No trade.

13. dicembre 2006 adrenalin ha trovato la geocache

Nachdem ich während des Geschäftsessens am Abend in der Nähe vom Ober mit Rotwein überschüttet wurde, brauchte ich diesen Fund zum Abreagieren. Zum Glück hatte Hulmgulm die Koordinaten dabei. Kurz vor Mitternacht sind die Muggelscharen nicht mehr so groß, und im Moment wird das Versteck auch ganz gut "abgeschirmt".

Vielen Dank!

03. novembre 2006 Tafari ha scritto una nota

Now a new box is hidden. The box don't need help to keep hidden any more because the new box matches the hideout much mor perfectly. So I changed the description a little bit. Because of the reason, that retrieving the cache is a little bit more tricky I finally changed the difficulty-Rating from 1 to 1.5 stars.

Now it's version 3.0

So I wish again
happy caching

06. settembre 2006 reini ha trovato la geocache

Obwohl ich wieder mal beschlossen hatte keine Stadt-Caches mehr zu machen, diesen am Heimweg doch angegangen. Musste zuerst einen Muggle der es sich vorm Cache gemütlich gemacht hat aussitzen bzw. -stehen (der beste GPS-Empfang am Platz war genau vor dem Didjeridoo-Spieler, also hab ich mich sehr interessiert gegeben), danach ging es blitzschnell. War ganz witzig, möchte aber nicht wissen was sich die Japaner wohl denken was der Typ da auf ihren Fotos macht ;-)
Danke für den Cache!

29. agosto 2006 Stegi ha trovato la geocache

In der Mittagspause diesen Cache besucht. Gefunden war er schnell, auch war er schnell aus dem Versteck geholt und gelogged. Das Zurücklegen war deutlich schwieriger und zeitaufwändiger, da eine unglaubliche Herde Italiener mit Fahrrädern genau das Cacheversteck als Fahrradständer mißbraucht hat . Ein Herankommen war nicht mehr möglich. Zum Glück kamen dann zwei andere Touristen, die schon zuvor ihre Fahrräder dort abstellten und haben durch's "Freischaufeln" ihrer Räder das Versteck wieder zugänglich gemacht .

1st found of today's after holiday roundtrip in Vienna.

Due to the fact that the cache was no longer hidden in the original way we contacted the owner to get a little bit help. After finding the box we did some maintenance and rehid it in an easier way.

Thnx!

25. agosto 2006 M.W. ha trovato la geocache

Although living only 400 m away from the cache, it wasn't possible to log a first found. I don't know at which time of day Mr. Tea works ;-) ?
A nice and quick cache at a place with a gazillion of muggles - we hope the box will survive.

no trade
