The Börsegasse located on the 1st Viennese district of Inner City . It was laid out in 1870 and named after the Vienna Stock Exchange building located here .
history
In the Middle Ages, the area of today's Börsegasse was mostly in the suburb area in front of Werdertor. The curtain wall ran diagonally across the parcels Börsegasse 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 , a city fortification of the medieval city built around 1200. Where today Renngasse joins Börsegasse (i.e. between house numbers 5 and 7) was the tower on Goldsmit , to the west of it the through tower and to the east of it the Werdertor . Opposite this section of the curtain wall was a row of houses that have had different names over the years: 1305 near Werderburgtor , 1313 near Werdertor , 1360 inside Werdertor , around 1271/89, 1302, 1305, 1309 and still 1517 Auf or An der Goldsmit , 1444 and 1526 under the Parchentern or Barchentern , since 1547 in misery .
When the old ring wall with the through tower and the tower on the Goldsmit was demolished in 1558–1561, most of this area was included in the construction of the new arsenal. Only a remainder of the row of houses remained as a dead end, which was bordered by the arsenal. Until 1827 this street was still called Im Elend , then it was called Zeughausgasse and in 1862 it was briefly included in the Salzgries . The outer area of today's Börsegasse, however, i.e. the area in front of the Arsenal, remained undeveloped as a glacis . Where the block between Börsegasse, Schottenring, Neutorgasse and Esslinggasse is today, the Neutorschanze was located from around 1650/60 to 1809 .
In 1870, today's Börsegasse was laid out and the construction of a stock exchange building was planned, which was implemented in 1874–1877. The naming after the stock exchange took place in 1870. In 1873–1875, the entire arsenal and the houses on the former Zeughausgasse were demolished, the area was re-parceled out and incorporated into Börsegasse.
Location and characteristics
Börsegasse runs from Stiege Am Gestade in a north-westerly direction in a straight line to Schlickplatz and thus to the district boundary of the 1st district. In the middle it is interrupted by the stock exchange . The alley, which was in and of itself wide and spacious, was narrowed down for traffic by various measures. At the beginning between Tiefem Graben and Renngasse, the lane was limited to the right side of the street, the left side is available to pedestrians. A green strip with trees and benches runs in the middle between Renngasse and Börseplatz. The main carriageway is again on the right-hand side, to the left of the green lane a side carriageway runs in the opposite direction as an access point for the houses there. The lane between Börseplatz and Schottenring is also limited to the right half of the street; there is a petrol station in front of the exchange. The entire course of Börsegasse is regulated as a one-way street, with one driving out of town from Tiefen Graben to Werdertorgasse, from Maria-Theresien-Straße to Werdertorgasse inwardly.
On public transport, bus line 2A runs between Tiefem Graben and Renngasse (stop at Concordiaplatz ), tram line D between Maria-Theresien-Straße and Schottenring. Tram line 1 crosses Börsegasse on Schottenring, tram line 71 has its terminus at the stock exchange. All three tram lines mentioned have their stop at the intersection of Schottenring and Börsegasse. In addition, the Postbus route 1185, which runs from Schwedenplatz to Vienna Airport , also runs over large parts of Börsegasse without stopping.
Cyclists have the option of driving against the one-way direction on a marked strip on the lane between Renngasse and Tiefer Graben. Pedestrians have access to a green strip in the middle of the carriageway between Tiefem Graben and Börseplatz with trees and benches; There are other green areas nearby on Concordiaplatz, Schottenring and, above all, on Börseplatz with Hermann-Gmeiner-Park.
The construction of the Börsegasse was done fairly uniformly in the historicist style. Only house number 6 is a new building from the 1950s. Except for the late historic houses No. 1, 3 and 5, the other buildings were designed in the 1870s in the form of the Viennese Neo-Renaissance . Although there are a few shops and restaurants in Börsegasse, the atmosphere of a quiet residential and office area prevails. More upscale facilities can be found in the blocks at Schottenring.
