Café Prückel on Stubenring calls itself a "Ringstrasse café since 1903." It is known for its 1950s interior by Oswald Haerdtl. Your coffee comes with a glass of water, and the main newspapers are laid out for reading.
Maxime Lurion opened the café on December 25, 1903. It bore his name until 1905 and was then called Café Prückel. In 1928 an Art Deco design replaced the original late-19th-century furnishings. In 1955 Oswald Haerdtl, himself a regular, remodeled the café, and according to wien.info that is how it still looks today. In the basement, Stella Kadmon and others founded the cabaret stage "Der liebe Augustin" on November 7, 1931.
