The Wien Breitensee stop is a station on the S45 S-Bahn line, the suburban line , in Vienna's 14th district of Penzing . The stop, like large sections of the suburban line, is a listed building ( list entry ). It is located in a low-lying area south of Hütteldorfer Straße, on the route of the suburb line. It is named after the Viennese suburb Breitensee .
history
Originally located in a rural area, the station, designed by Otto Wagner on behalf of the Commission for Transport Systems in Vienna , was completed in November 1896 and opened on May 11, 1898, when the Vienna steam light rail went into operation. As early as 1932, the regular passenger traffic on the entire route was stopped, so the Breitensee stop lost its original purpose and fell into disrepair in the following decades. On May 1, 1939, it was renamed Breitenseer Straße, but at that time it was only served by the summer bath trains.
On April 30, 1979, the federal government and the state of Vienna decided to convert the suburban line into an S-Bahn . Since the track curve after the tunnel was too narrow and there were only ruins-like remains of the station, it was removed and rebuilt in a postmodern style with historicizing echoes of Otto Wagner. It went into operation again on May 31, 1987 as a station on the S45, and was given its old name Breitensee from 1898.
