High politicians, as well as war invalids, were given their rooms in the palace. Three rooms in the east wing were available to scouts (Austrian Scout Association). An orphanage for war orphans was also established there.
In 1922, 70 former court horses were housed in the palace, in connection with the conversion of the former court stables into a market square.
The palace theater, which was converted into a furniture warehouse before World War I, was reused by the Burgtheater in 1919. Since 1929, it has housed the Max Reinhardt Seminar, an acting school.
