Sudetendeutscher Platz (Wiener Neustadt)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Court to the Eye of God

The Sudeten Place , formerly intersection Eye of God , is at a crossroads in Wiener Neustadt in Lower Austria .

location

Sudetendeutsche Platz is north of downtown Wiener Neustadt on the edge of Josephsstadt. The following roads are connected to the square:

  • Wiener Straße (single lane, one-way street leading away from the Eye of God towards the city ​​center )
  • Grazer Straße ( B17 , B54 four-lane south )
  • Pottendorfer Straße ( B60 , two lanes to the east )
  • Wiener Straße (B17, four lanes to the north )
  • Fischauer Gasse (two lanes to the west )

history

The origin of the name "Eye of God" for this crossing is controversial. The general term in Austria: “Eye of God” for a triangular intersection is not uncommon. The Eye of God is also joined by the Freedom Park between Wiener Strasse and Grazer Strasse, where the resistance monument and the rubble monument are located.

After 1945 the intersection area was dedicated as Sudetendeutscher Platz, and the Raiffeisen fountain was built in 1983 in a square-like area.

traffic

The intersection is one of the busiest intersections in Wiener Neustadt and therefore also one of the most dangerous intersections in the city.

City buses A, G, and H of Stadtwerke Wiener Neustadt as well as some regional bus routes stop at the Augen Gottes bus stop on Grazer Straße.
