The Great Palm House (VIenna)
Impressive inside and out. Known also (depending on translation) as the Large, or Great Palm House (US: 'Greenhouse').
With steam,
"The Schönbrunn Palm House was the last of its type to be constructed in continental Europe." - Source (see below, pls pora*)
The Palm House is located on the site of the former Dutch Botanical Garden and was erected in 1881/2 to designs by [Emperor] Franz Xaver Segenschmid.
One hundred and thirteen metres long, the Palm House consists of a 28-metre high central pavilion and two lateral pavilions which are three metres lower. Linked by tunnel-like passages, the pavilions contain different climatic zones: a ‘cold’ house to the north, a temperate zone in the central pavilion and a tropical zone in the south pavilion.
In the 1800's.

Speaking of Schönbrunn Palace...
This is a huge complex, akin (as is The Hofburg) to a palace complex such as The Vatican. I nibbled at the edges, avoiding indoor tours when the sun was out. And on the weekend: Prater (Amusements) & nature - including the world's oldest zoo (on these grounds) and the Imperial Butterfly House.More weekend fun at the world's first (and rather humane) zoo, after a quick visit to the Palm House.
Large Palm House Schönbrunn
"The Great Palm House was built by the Ignaz Gridl company between 1880 and 1882 on behalf of Emperor Franz Joseph I according to plans by the court architect Franz Xaver Segenschmid. With a total area of 2,500m², it was the largest glass house in the world when it opened on July 19, 1882. The building, made up of prefabricated parts, is 111 meters long, has a maximum width of 28 meters and reaches 25 meters at its highest point." - source / Thin-sliced: "Lots of glass".
Next, a look at who's hanging out at the zoo.... Oh look! Koala!

News | RNZ: Schönbrunn - Massenandrang bei Impfen ohne Termin
Schon am frühen Donnerstagmorgen bildeten sich lange Schlangen vor dem Bürgersaal.
Schönbrunn. (MD) Massenandrang herrschte am Donnerstag beim offenen Impftermin im Schönbrunner Rathaus. Obwohl das Impfteam des Rhein-Neckar-Kreises erst um 10 Uhr startete, bildeten sich schon am frühen Morgen lange Schlangen vor dem Bürgersaal, der zum Impfraum umfunktioniert worden war. Zeitweise standen die Menschen im Morgengrauen bis zur Kirche hin an, um sich den ersehnten Piks abholen zu können... (weiter)
Info: So sieht es hier bei uns in der Gemeinde mit der Nachfrage nach Impfungen und Boostern aus. Hier in der Gemeinde gibt es keine Apotheke, aber in den Nachbargemeinden ist dort die Nachfrage nach den Impfzertifikaten die man dort bekommt ziemlich groß, bei manchen Apotheken muss man Stunden warten bis man es bekommt.
