An der Hülben is a street in Vienna's 1st district, Innere Stadt . It was named in 1909 after an old topographical name.
history
With Hülben filled depressions or pools were labeled (with water Hulben or Hülm ). In the Middle Ages, the church of St. Jakob on the Hülben was located in the area of such a pond . The area also received the name Auf der Hülben , as a document dated July 7, 1367 first proves. In the land register, the name can be traced back to January 1, 1374. Originally, today's Jakobergasse 1–4 and An der Hülben 1–4 and 6 formed a lane that bore different names (Jacobergassel for the first time in 1701). Between 1863 and 1884, after the area around the former city wall was rearranged, today's Gasse An der Hülben was separated from Jakobergasse, which in turn was extended in a straight line to the Stubenbastei. The official name An der Hülben was not given until November 23, 1909.
Location and characteristics
The short and quiet lane leads from Jakobergasse in a southerly direction to Seilerstätte. It is run in the opposite direction as a one-way street. There is no public transport here. Its construction consists of tall residential and office buildings from around 1900. All of the buildings described are listed .
