In 1867, the architect Karl Tietz built a three-story building for a family of Klein industrialists. The rear wing was destroyed in 1945. The strict palace is made in the form of a neo-renaissance. The columned portico of the arched portal was demolished in 1958, and the side niches were broken for the entrances. In 1989, the palace was restored. In Beletage you can see a well-preserved interior ensemble: a three-story hall with ceiling painting "Foundation of the hearth" is accompanied by a suite consisting of a hall and two salons. The ballroom is lined with light blue wall panels and a ceiling image of the seasons. The Klein family was engaged in the construction of iron and especially railway bridges. The Klein brothers were among the pioneers of railway construction in the monarchy. The first route, built in 1837, ran through Vienna to Genserndorf (Kaiser-Ferdinands-Nordbahn). In 1847, the Gebrüder Klein company was founded. Until 1873, the Klein brothers built more than 3,500 kilometers of railway lines throughout the monarchy. In 1844, the brothers acquired factories in Zöptau (Czech: Sobotin). Owning this industrial plant allowed the company to produce the steel necessary for the structures themselves. A bridge-building factory was built in Zöptau, initially consisting of chain bridges, and then other steel bridges. By 1898 alone, 1,436 railway bridges were produced.

City park as a house book. As soon as the yellowed sheets are touched, the city will begin to dump its stories with enthusiasm. They will be written in calligraphic handwriting with classic curls, imitating the era, or chopped pen strokes, in accordance with the directives of the time. With crafty boasting, they will hoist glorious citizens on a pedestal or, like skeletons in a closet, hide their obscene acts in the shadow of distant alleys. His trees whisper past rumors, ponds keep silent secrets, and swarms of pigeons sweep dried leaves from the tracks like dust from a book cover. And the longer you stay in the park, the more you understand that time puts everything in its place, passions disappear and only heaven and silence patronize the living, contemplating the earthly vanity from above. Such a city park in Vienna. Translated with Google Translate
