The Bräunerstraße located on the 1st Viennese district of Inner City . The origin of the name is unclear.
history
In the Middle Ages, the alley formed the border between two fields south of the moat and was incorporated into the city at the beginning of the 13th century as part of the city's expansion. It was called Ratstraße , was first attested in 1299 and was subsequently known in several name variants (1314 Radstraße , 1430 Rattstraße , 1438 Rotgasse , 1547 Rodstraße , still 1701 Rathstraße ). In 1547 it was also known as the Große Rosengasse . The name Other Preidenstrasse came up for the first time in 1566 , in contrast to the actual Preidenstrasse running parallel to it , today's Habsburgergasse . The previously held theory that the name Preiden can be traced back to the name Brigitta and that Preidenstrasse derives its name from a Brigitta chapel can no longer be maintained today. The meaning of this name therefore remains unclear. Gradually corruption (1642 Untere Breittenstraße , 1664 Untere Preitenstraße , 1701 Untere Breunerstraße , 1710 Untere Breinerstraße , 1848 Untere Bräunerstraße ) over the years resulted in the name Bräunerstraße . In 1862 the Vordere or Obere Bräunerstraße was renamed Habsburgergasse , while the Untere Bräunerstraße has since been called Bräunerstraße for short. Originally there was only a narrow passage between the stable castle and the royal monastery , which was expanded after the monastery was demolished in 1783.
Location and characteristics
Bräunerstraße runs from Graben in a south-westerly direction to Josefsplatz, parallel to Habsburgergasse in the west and Dorotheergasse in the east. After crossing Stallburggasse, Bräunerstraße makes a bend to the west and runs the last part along the south facade of the Stallburg. The longest part of Bräunerstraße away from Graben is a pedestrian zone , the section from Josefsplatz to Stallburggasse is a one-way street and only the short section from Stallburggasse to house numbers 7 and 12 is accessible in both directions. The square-like extension of Stallburggasse is structurally designed in such a way that it is not possible to drive continuously from Josefsplatz to the above-mentioned house numbers 7 and 12. There are no public transport services on Bräunerstraße.
Bräunerstraße is an important old town street with remarkable buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. There are numerous restaurants, shops, antique dealers, a music school and the famous Elmayer dance school . Because of this and the connection to the large pedestrian zone on the Graben, a lot of pedestrians and tourists frequent the busy Bräunerstraße.
