The Bognergasse located on the 1st Viennese district of Inner City . Its name, attested since 1563, is derived from the bow manufacturers and their workshops that were based here in the Middle Ages .
history
Along today's Bognergasse ran roughly the southern border of the Roman Vindobona . At the beginning of the Tuchlauben there was a Roman city gate, in the Middle Ages the Peiler or Peurertor , which was demolished in 1732. After this gate, the section at the beginning of today's Bognergasse was called Beim Pelertor (1362) or Beim Peurertor (1387). The remaining part of the alley was called strata gladiatorum (Schwertfürbenstraße) in 1262 , as craftsmen who made swords lived here near the Herzogshof (today Am Hof ). Around 1300, 1305 and 1314 the name strata arcatorum (Bognerstraße) is attested, 1326 Unter den Bognern , then again until 1547 Bognerstraße . It has been called Bognergasse since 1563 . In 1317 a gate in Bognergasse is mentioned, through which one could get to the Herzogshof. For a long time Bognergasse retained its medieval character. In 1857, however, numerous old buildings were redeemed by the municipality of Vienna and the street was widened. At the beginning of the 20th century, the area between Bognergasse and Naglergasse was redesigned and new buildings were built there in the style of late historicism / art nouveau .
In the extension of Bognergasse on the other side of the Tuchlauben, the Kleine Bognergasse was located until the first half of the 19th century, which led to St. Peter's Square. With the construction of the Erste Österreichische Spar-Casse 1835–1838, the alley disappeared, the traces of which can still be seen as a passage through the Sparkasse building.
Location and characteristics
Bognergasse runs from the beginning of Tuchlauben in a north-westerly direction to Am Hof square , with a slight bend to the west from Seitzergasse. Together with the Tuchlauben, Graben and Kohlmarkt, the alley forms a large inner-city pedestrian zone . The buildings on Bognergasse consist of late historical residential buildings on the south side and office buildings from the beginning of the 20th century on the north side. The south side is dominated by numerous shops and restaurants, the north side by luxury shops such as Louis Vuitton or Prada . Since Bognergasse forms an important connection from Schottentor / Freyung to the center of the city with the pedestrian zone on Graben, there is always a high number of pedestrians here, including, but not limited to, tourists.
