Military facilities in Vienna

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Especially during the monarchy, Vienna, as the capital of a large empire, had numerous military institutions that were used for the administration and operations of the army. Many buildings and institutions used by civilians today have a military history.

arsenal

The construction of the arsenal , originally a kk artillery arsenal , was a result of the revolution of 1848 .

Imperial armories

Bourgeois armory

The civil armory is located in Vienna's 1st district on Am Hof number 10. Today it houses the headquarters of the Viennese professional fire brigade , the oldest in the world.

Vienna city walls

  • Castle wall
Between the 11th century and around 1200, the correspondingly adapted and largely preserved Roman camp wall served as the city wall. The artificially created ditch ran in the area of Graben and Naglergasse. Otherwise, natural waters protected the castle wall.
  • Curtain wall
Between around 1200 and the end of the 16th century or the beginning of the 17th century, the curtain wall, which was paid for with the ransom for the English King Richard the Lionheart , together with the moat, protected the expanded city. After its completion, the castle wall was left open.
  • Fortress wall
After the first Turkish siege, the curtain wall was replaced by a fortification belt with bastions , curtains , ravelins and the city moat (with the exception of the section along today's Danube Canal ) between 1531 and 1672 .

Before the French withdrew in 1809, parts of the city wall were blown up. Between 1817 and 1824 the fortress wall between Löwel and Augustinerbastei was moved up to today's Vienna Ringstrasse . From 1854 to 1857 the beaver and Dominican bastions were demolished to make way for the Kaiser-Franz-Joseph barracks. In 1817 the character of Vienna as a fortress was lifted by Emperor Franz I and most of the bastions were opened up for the promenade. On December 20, 1857, Emperor Franz Joseph I ordered the demolition of the fortifications and the construction of the glacis.

  • Moat
The moat surrounded the entire city with the exception of the part located on today's Danube Canal. It could be flooded from the Danube Canal, the Ottakringer Bach and the Wien River . In peacetime it was used as a pasture for cattle. In 1452 he housed a zoo for Ladislaus Postumus , which was closed again after his death. From 1530 it was used for fish farming until it was drained again in 1637. After the Turkish siege in 1683 , it was partly planted with trees and was a popular promenade after the French Wars. The idea of ​​roofing over the moat and building a horse-drawn tram in it was never realized. When the city wall was demolished in 1858, the moat was leveled.
The line wall was created at the beginning of the 18th century to protect the suburbs from incursions by rebellious Hungarians and was later primarily of fiscal importance as a limit for collecting urban consumption taxes . The line wall was removed in the 1890s. The space that became free was used, among other things, to expand the Wiener Gürtelstrasse, which had already been built .

Shooting ranges

The shooting ranges in Vienna were used for exercises in the handling of firearms for military use, sporting use and for the self-protection of the citizens in case they had to defend their city.

Parade and parade grounds

In imperial Vienna there were numerous parade grounds near the barracks, but very few of them were in military possession. Aryan property was the Josefstadt Glacis and the Schmelz.

  • Josefstadt Glacis
The Josefstädter Glacis stretched between today's Auerspergasse and Lenaugasse, Vienna's Ringstrasse , Universitätsstrasse and Schmerlingplatz . The area was used for military purposes as a parade ground from 1783 until the construction of the New Town Hall from 1872. Emperor Franz Joseph I granted permission for building against the ideas of the army .
The Schmelz is a formerly very large parade and parade ground , the unspoilt remains of which are now entirely in the 15th district of Vienna , Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus .
