Subject Information	The Kaiser Pavilion was a personal Stadtbahn station for Kaiser Franz Joseph near his summer residence Schonbrunn. The imperial style is untypical for Wagner but was a concession to the emperor's taste (however, the pavilion was never used by Franz Joseph). 'In 1894, following his competition success, Wagner was commissioned to design the buildings and installations for the 45 km-long Stadtbahn in Vienna, for which he developed one of the most important unified schemes for an urban transport system (completed 1901).'
