The Annagasse is a street in the first Viennese district of Inner City . It is located between Kärntner Straße and Seilerstätte and is one of the old baroque streets in Vienna.
history
Annagasse was first mentioned in a document in 1290. At that time it was called Pippingerstrasse after an old bourgeois family . During the time of Frederick the Beautiful, a devout Viennese woman gave her house to devout pilgrims by having a hospital and a church built, which she dedicated to the holy mother Anna .
In 1547 the street was mentioned in a document as St. Annagasse , in 1701 it was finally given its current name. In the 1970s, as part of the redesign of Kärntner Strasse, Annagasse was also converted into a pedestrian zone .
In addition to the Annagasse described here, there were several streets in the former suburbs that are now part of Vienna, which were also called Annagasse and were renamed in the course of their incorporation to Vienna. These were today's Goldeggasse in Wieden , Mollardgasse in Gumpendorf , Mauthnergasse on Althangrund , Teichackergasse in Untermeidling , Poschgasse in Breitensee , Hellgasse in Ottakring , Lacknergasse in Hernals , Schumanngasse in Währing and Würthgasse in Oberdöblinggasse .
Location and characteristics
Annagasse is a side street off Kärntner Straße, which is gently winding and sloping down to Seilerstätte. Annagasse is very narrow and, like Kärntner Straße and the beginning of the Führichgasse, is a pedestrian zone. Due to its pleasant atmosphere, it is frequented by numerous tourists and houses shops, restaurants and hotels.
The building consists of three- to six-storey former town houses and collegiate courts from the 16th to the 19th century. About in the middle of the street, on its northern side, is the eponymous St. Anna Church . Only at the beginning of the street do two late historic houses, which are also set back a bit from the building line, deviate from the uniform baroque street scene of Annagasse, which has largely retained its medieval structure and layout.
