What are these

I bought these from a guy who went to estate sales and he was liquidating his stuff I thought they were kind of unique but I really want to know more about them I finally figured out that the cathedral is a cathedral in Vienna but I don't know what the picture of a room is are these lithographs are they sketchings etchings are the signatures recognizable please help I would hate to think that these don't hold any value I really like them by the way these are a little smaller than 8x10 and frames are wood is that helps.

Yes, it's an etching of St Stephen's Cathedral (Stephansdom) in Vienna. The artist is Erich Veit (1896-1981). Here's his biography on the German Wikipedia:

 

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Veit 

 

and run through Google auto-translate:

 

https://de-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Erich_Veit?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_... 

 

And here are some other examples of the signed print:

https://www.catawiki.com/en/l/11433437-erich-veit-1896-1981 

 

I'll have to pass on the second one, at least for now. The writing on the left simply says "Orig[inal] Radierung" - German for "original etching."
