Auhof in the narrower sense

The historic Auhof is located at the western end of Hofjagdstrasse in Vienna's 13th district by the Auhofbrücke, which runs over the parallel Wientalstrasse, in the vicinity of the Vienna River, which runs parallel to the north (Wolf-in-der-Au-Brücke) and the powder pounding gate of the Lainzer Tiergarten. West of Auhofs begins to Linz and Salzburg leading western motorway A1 at their "Exit 9", the motorway station Wien Auhof. (The motorway kilometrage reflects the original intention of having the motorway begin closer to the city center, at the Gürtel .)

Today, Auhof, in addition to the motorway access, is primarily understood to mean the heavily frequented Auhof shopping center, which was built between Wienfluss, Lainzer Tiergarten and Weidlingau in the Auhof industrial area (14th district) that was created in the mid-1960s. The Viennese opposition calls for the extension of the U4 underground line from Hütteldorf to Auhof.

Cadastral parish

Cadastral municipality Auhof is the name of an administrative unit of the land register kept by the judiciary , the public documentation of real estate. (It is not a political local community.) Today it is located in the 13th district, Hietzing , and to a lesser extent in the 14th district, Penzing . Overall, the cadastral community extends over an area of ​​2,554.61 hectares , of which 2,532.61 hectares are in Hietzing and 22 hectares in Penzing. The largest part of the cadastral community, with 2,450 hectares, is taken up by the majority of the Lainzer Tiergarten, which is located in Vienna (a small part, acquired in 1960, belongs to the cadastral community of Laab im Walde in Lower Austria). There are also the Hörndlwald and other settlements on the former zoo grounds such as the Friedensstadt , the Auhofer Trennstück settlement and the congress settlement in the southwest of the 13th district, as well as parts of the Bierhäuselberg in the 14th district.

The cadastral community Auhof borders in the north on the Penzing cadastral communities Hadersdorf, Weidlingau and Hütteldorf , in the east on the Hietzing districts of Hacking , Ober Sankt Veit , Lainz and Speising , in the south on the Liesing district of Mauer and in the west on the Lower Austrian communities Purkersdorf , Laab im Walde and Breitenfurt near Vienna .

history

The Lainzer Tiergarten
Dr.-Schober-Strasse

Auhof in the narrower sense

Gut Auhof, located in the north of the Lainzer Tiergarten, was first mentioned in 1194. Until the 16th century it was under the rule of the Johanniter and was long owned by rich Viennese citizens. In 1560, Emperor Ferdinand I, as sovereign of Lower Austria, bought the farm, which now became the seat of the imperial forest master, and the zoo area from a monastery. Until 1919 the farm was used as a forest and hunting farm. Then it passed into the possession of the War Damaged Fund and by contract of January 19, 1938, like the whole of the Lainzer Tiergarten, was given to the City of Vienna by the Federation.

Cadastral parish

The history of Auhof as a cadastral community begins in 1848 with the abolition of the manors. As a result, the cadastral community Auhof was formed as part of the independent community Hadersdorf-Weidlingau. The cadastral community of Auhof initially remained unaffected by the founding of the 13th Hietzing district in Vienna in 1890/1892.

When the zoo wall was moved in 1912, the so-called Auhofer separator was built outside the Lainzer zoo in the municipality of Mauer near Vienna . Originally the veterinary college should have been built there . After the First World War , the area was completely deforested. In 1920 the City of Vienna leased the area and passed it on to sub-tenants. Part of it was used as pasture, the rest was given to the Siller colony and the Mauer allotment garden association, who established an illegal settlement there. The allotment garden association Kolonie Siller changed in 1921 to the settlement cooperative Auhofer Trennstück (SAT). In 1925 the lease contract was no longer extended by the City of Vienna, the settlers now bought the land. The settlement was de facto legalized in 1928 with the construction of a public water pipe.

Incorporation in 1938, district allocation until 1956

When " Greater Vienna " was created, the Auhof cadastral community was incorporated into Vienna on October 15, 1938. The extreme north was assigned to the new 14th district, Penzing, the Lainzer Tiergarten to the newly created 25th district, Liesing. The area of ​​the Auhofer Trennstück located outside the then cadastral community Auhof came to the 13th district, Hietzing. After the Second World War , parallel to the 1946 resolution, initially prevented by the Soviet occupying power by means of a veto and therefore only coming into force in 1954, the Viennese district division was changed. In 1956 the Lainzer Tiergarten came from Liesing, now the 23rd district, to the 13th district, Hietzing. In addition, the current boundaries of the Auhof cadastral community were defined, i.e. including parts of Bierhäuselberg and the areas in the southern Lainzer Tiergarten (Faßlberg, part of the Maurer Forest north of the Tiergarten wall, settlements south of Kalmanstrasse) that were formerly part of the Mauer cadastral community. In 1960 the zoo was expanded to include areas in Laab im Walde; they are not part of the Auhof cadastral community.
