Boschberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Boschberg (seldom also written Poschberg ) is an elevation in Favoriten , Vienna's 10th  district (district Inzersdorf-Stadt ). It is located between Troststrasse in the north, the Wienerberg recreation area in the west, the distribution circle at the old estate and the southeast tangent in the east and the Wienerfeld settlement (old field name Reifental) in the south. However, the limits are only to be regarded as approximate. Strictly speaking, the Boschberg is the connecting saddle between the Wienerberg and the Laaer Berg and is part of the terraced landscape on the edge of the Vienna basin.

In the 19th century, the Boschberg was an extensive area, loosely overgrown with bushes (hence the name Boschberg = Buschberg), which was used as pasture and for agriculture. Since 1865, a certain Ms. Hawlař had been running a stone wilt garden here, which was known at the time . Vistula trees were grown there as a head tree culture (similar to the pollarded willow ), the rash rods were then and later necessary for the production of walking sticks and pipe pipes or cigarette holders (the "Weixlspitz" with the characteristic black branding, which is known to this day).

Mrs. Hawlař's Vistula Garden no longer exists, but the name of the allotment garden “Weichselgarten” here reminds us of it, and the garden settlements “Boschberg” and “Reifental” are next to it.

On the Boschberg there is also the Jean-Jaurès-Hof in the Raxstraße , the Schlebarenbaren (now the Favoritner Gewerbering), a bus garage for Wiener Linien also in the Raxstraße, a rescue station for the Viennese professional rescue service in the Grenzackerstraße and several sports fields. In the 19th century, the Miren of the Vienna University Observatory stood there .
