Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, for your group only.
A real, genuine former residence of Beethoven in Vienna.
No — the real premiere of the Ninth Symphony took place on 7 May 1824 at the Theater am Kärntnertor. The Akademie der Wissenschaften building is included on this tour because Beethoven genuinely organized and conducted earlier concerts of his own music there in 1813 and 1814, in what was then the university's great hall.

About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, with a real expert guide, genuine specific Beethoven venues. This is a private tour for your group only, with a genuine expert guide. Real stops include the Akademie der Wissenschaften, the Secession Building's Beethoven Frieze, Eroica Hall, and Beethoven's Pasqualatihaus.

Beethoven moved apartments constantly in Vienna, but the Pasqualatihaus, owned by Josef Benedikt Baron Pasqualati, was the closest thing he had to a stable home — he lived on and off in its fourth-floor rooms for roughly eight years. It was there he worked on his opera Fidelio, his Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth symphonies, and smaller pieces including Für Elise; the apartment is now a small dedicated memorial museum holding some of his personal effects.

At the Secession Building, Klimt's Beethoven Frieze was created in 1902 specifically for the Secession's own Beethoven-themed exhibition that April through July — a direct physical link between Vienna's visual-art rebels and the composer they chose to honor nearly 75 years after his death.

Beethoven also performed at what's now called the Eroica Hall, inside the former Palais Lobkowitz: Prince Lobkowitz converted part of the palace into a festive concert hall in 1799, and Beethoven appeared there several times, including a well-documented 1800 piano "duel" against the composer Daniel Steibelt.

The Akademie der Wissenschaften, Vienna's Academy of Sciences, occupies the building that once housed the university's great hall, the Alte Aula — and it was there, in 1813 and 1814, that Beethoven organized and conducted real concerts of his own music. His best-known premiere, the Ninth Symphony in 1824, actually took place elsewhere, at the Theater am Kärntnertor — but these earlier Aula concerts make the Academy building a genuine, lesser-known stop on his real Vienna career.
