The Billrothstraße is a main street in the 19th Vienna district Döbling .
history
The forerunner of Billrothstrasse crossed the suburb and today's district of Oberdöbling . Döbling was first mentioned in a document as early as 1114; But Oberdöbling began its boom in the 18th century. Between 1765 and 1786 five new streets were built in Oberdöbling. Today these are Döblinger Hauptstrasse, Heiligenstädter Strasse, Pyrkergasse, Pokornygasse and Billrothstrasse. Billrothstrasse was originally called An der Stiege and In den Sätze in 1796 , later Hirschengasse . After the suburbs were incorporated into Vienna, the city council decided on July 18, 1894, to name the street Billrothstraße after the surgeon Theodor Billroth .
From 1855/56 until the end of 1911, the Döbling gas works of the Imperial Continental Gas Association existed at the beginning of Billrothstrasse (No. 5, then Hirschengasse 5) .
In 1885 the Rudolfinerhaus hospital was opened in the upper part of the street .
From 1887 a horse-drawn tram was set up through Billrothstrasse ; from the end of August 1902 the line was electrified. From October 1946 to December 1958, the trolleybus line 22 to Salmannsdorf ran through Billrothstraße to Krottenbachstraße . On August 2, 1960, at the intersection with Döblinger Hauptstrasse and Glatzgasse at the beginning of the street, the worst accident in the history of the Viennese tram occurred .
description
course
Billrothstraße branches off from Döblinger Hauptstraße about 150 m after its beginning and runs uphill to the confluence of Gymnasiumstraße and the intersection with Peter-Jordan-Straße. The closed development in this area consists mainly of up to four-storey buildings from the last quarter of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century in the style of strict or late historicism and the Vienna Secession . At the very beginning, however, the dominant church planting Pestalozzi-yard from the years 1925-26 (no. 5), the rectifier station next location (No. 7 1925th) and Julius Tandler-Home (1927) the cityscape; Added to this is the Klose-Hof , which is not located directly on Billrothstrasse, but is clearly visible on the corner of Philippovichgasse and Werkmanngasse, designed by Josef Hoffmann . Another community building complex is the Copenhagen-Hof , which was built between 1956 and 1958, after the corner of Schegargasse . The Selma-Hof, designed in 1907 in the local style, is located on the corner of Hardtgasse .
At this intersection, Billrothstraße turns north. Older houses from the first half of the 19th century can now be found under the buildings. The Kattus sparkling wine cellar , located diagonally across from Gatterburggasse, essentially dates from this period , while the other side of the street is first from Josef-Wiedermann-Hof (built 1966–1968) and after Gatterburggasse from the elongated Rosa-Albach-Retty-Hof (built 1973– 1975) is mastered.
After the junction with Krottenbachstraße , a closed association of two-story suburban houses from the 18th century extends across the street from No. 68 to 72; the front gardens are separated from the street by retaining walls.
Then the Billrothstrasse at the intersection with the Hofzeile describes a swivel of 60 degrees to west-northwest (approximately straight ahead the Silbergasse continues to Ruthgasse) and then runs initially between Richard-Eybner-Park and the park-like area of the Rudolfinerhaus in the north and Karl-Fellinger -Park and the area of the grammar school and high school GRG 19 in the south. After a slight right turn in a north-westerly direction, it crosses the suburban line with the Oberdöbling S-Bahn station and finally ends after the Strauss-Lanner-Park at the junction of Sieveringer Straße and Grinzinger Allee.
traffic
Due to its course, Billrothstraße is a feeder for traffic from the city center (via Nussdorfer Straße and Döblinger Hauptstraße ) to the districts of Sievering and Grinzing and from both of them to Wiener Höhenstraße . It is also part of Wiener Vororte Straße (formerly B222) between Krottenbachstraße and Silbergasse , the heavily frequented connection from the western districts to the northern Danube Canal and from there via Donaukanal Straße (formerly B227) to the Nordbrücke and via Lorenz-Müller-Gasse and Floridsdorfer Bridge to Floridsdorf .
Billrothstrasse is categorized as Hauptstrasse A.
The entire length of Billrothstrasse is traversed by tram line 38 (Grinzing - Schottentor ). The 35A bus from Salmannsdorf runs from Krottenbachstrasse towards the city (in the opposite direction, however, only from Gymnasiumstrasse) to the Spittelau U-Bahn and S-Bahn station ; The bus line 10A coming from the Vienna Heiligenstadt train station reaches Billrothstraße via Silbergasse and leaves it through Chimanistraße in the direction of the Niederhofstraße subway station , while in the opposite direction it turns from Peter-Jordan-Straße.
Access to the high-ranking urban rail network is via the Oberdöbling stop of the Vienna S-Bahn .
