In the 12th Century, the Graben (ditch) was a moat of water in front of the rampart. After it was filled in with earth people used it as a market place. Today it is still a place of commerce. There are many old, well-established shops in the centre of Vienna: the jewellers Haban and Heldwein, Meinl am Graben for gourmet food or Schwäbische Jungfrau, selling bed-linen. Today the Graben is a pedestrian area. But with all the wonderful shops you should not forget to look up from time to time - there are some beautiful old houses with wonderful fronts and gables.
