Between 1865 and 1867 Johann Garben built the Kursalon at the edge of Stadtbark, a building in Italian Renassance style and therefore in the spirit of historicism. In this historic building, which is nearby the famous statue of Strauss, the Strauss brothers celebrated their greatest successes. Dances and promenade concerts filled the house with an atmosphere full of waltz and love of life. This tradition is now re-establised in 2012 with the Johann Strauss Ball.
On the 11th of February the Kursalon opens its doors to a glittering ball night in historical surroundings. Enjoy this unique ball experience in the four halls, each filled with the carm of this elegant building!
