Anton Trey

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anton Trey († 1845 in Vienna ) was an Austrian road builder. In Brigittenau, he built a street between Gaußplatz and Pappenheimstrasse. In doing so, he contributed to the development of the suburb of Brigittenau. The Treustraße in the 20th district of Vienna is named after him.

Anton Trey had the toll privilege for this street. In 1830 he applied for the construction of a wooden toll house, which was also approved by the kuk building management.

Street name

In the lexicon of street names of the municipality of Vienna, however, two different variants are mentioned for the namesake of Treustraße. Wolfgang Treu or Anton Trey. It is certain that the "Dreystraße" between Hauptdamm and house number 235, also called "Dreyerstraßendamm", former property of Mr. Anton Trey, was built up in 1863 by the community after the floods of 1862. The costs for this were given as 10,876  fl 44 kr. The road is described as "heavily used by wooden wagons".

Later the same street is called Treygasse and it is noted in the files of the municipality of Vienna that 15 gas lamps were installed there in 1865. A year later, the municipal council decided to fill Treygasse by a further six meters in order to protect the districts behind it from flooding. In 1872 the alley was paved and the construction of three-story houses was approved. The name “Treugasse” appears in this context. In the "Wiener Geschichtsbl Blätter" it is recorded that the name Treugasse is wrongly attributed to the mayor Wolfgang Treu.
