The Sofiensaal was a concert hall and recording venue in Vienna, Austria. It was situated on Marxergasse, in the city''s third district of Landstraße. It burned down on 16 August 2001, although the facade of the building is still intact. The building was completed in 1826, designed by the architects August Sicard and Eduard van der Nüll. It was named after Princess Sophie of Bavaria, the mother of Emperor Franz Josef I. It was originally used as a steam bath and known as the Sofienbad. Between 1845 and 1849, it was converted into a dance hall and renamed the Sofiensaal. Johann Strauss I performed there regularly and conducted at the opening ball of the house in 1848. Many of the Strauss family''s waltzes were first performed there.
