The Fillgraderstiege is a staircase in Vienna's sixth district (Mariahilf) that connects Fillgradergasse and Theobaldgasse. Designed by Max Hegele, a student of Victor Luntz and Carl Hasenauer, and built between 1905 and 1907, the structure exemplifies Art Nouveau style. After decades of wear, the stairs were closed in 1981 and underwent restoration from 1982 to 1984, during which a café and art gallery were installed in a previously unused space behind the staircase; both opened on August 1, 1985. The Fillgraderstiege gained further recognition when European art professors ranked it the fourth most beautiful steps in Europe in a 2004 poll. It is a listed heritage object in Austria.
